Tekno RC Neu Motors and Brushless Kits

That is really impressive. I love the motor mount too. I must admit I would prefer it with out the clutch but I suppose that acts as the slipper.

The idea looks good. I would be interested to see what it weighs. Looks like it my be a bit on the heavy side, when you factor in the 2 piece motor mount, clutch assy, brake servo and other parts.

Personally I would prefer Mike's slipperential and a solid pinion. That provides better control for me, and the slipper would give the motor some shock resistance. The tekno battery tray looks good, a make my own trays that work in a similar fashion. For the price the conversion looks good. I really like the neu motors. Larger bearings and a sealed can, I have a feeling that tekno will sell a few of these, until the castle neu motors come out...

It's a beautiful setup, looks well balanced, and has manual brakes which, imo, are the only way to go for racing. Great for those who aren't ahead of the curve and are starting from scratch. However, for those who have been into brushless 1/8 scale conversions it has the same two drawbacks as the their Revo conversion(which I am currently running): 1) the battery tray is too small for 20 or 25c enerland cell packs and 2) imo, the clutch is much more of a pita than it is helpful. The best thing about it is that it will undoubtedly bring more folks into the 1/8 scale electric game and expedite the point in time where every track has plenty of racers to field 1/8 scale electric classes.
Good job Tekno!

Looks very nice. Great chassis layout. Very polished looking kit. I wounder if the MMM will fit on the esc platform and still have the body go on. I'm beting no. Only 2 things I can see wrong with it. The clutch can go for sure and its on the Losi. If the come out with other brands without a clutch. I will be very interested.

Nice job Tekno.

Battery tray can accommodate 150mmL x 50mmW x variable H. This will accommodate a lot of packs, but you are correct, the longer cells will have some issues. You could always cut away the back portion to run longer packs, we've done that for a few of our prototypes. A longer battery tray for the truggies may not be out of the question either.
