Congrats Kevin. Your electronics are still fine enough for a one-two finish. And we have all had great builds.
I'm pleased that I have met the taste of many here. I wish all those who were less fortunate good luck next time. May we all compete together again in december!

Thank you RogueIV, I am now interested in what ezekiel is all about. I only found out that it means "God strengthens" in hebrew. What catches my eye is that the wing is positioned too high. In combination with the too small tires, the rear end doesn't look consistent. And why does the cont...

can you find the mistake?

Some say, Tekin ESCs have the best punch from the start. Now i believe it too.

On my Cat 2000ec, which i unfortunately sold eight years ago, was a sticker of the friendly cat with no hat but sunglasses. Sorry for the poor quality, I had to zoom in deep into old pictures.

Yes, there are obvious differences between the mach 7 and the 410K. But history tells that when Kevin Orton (Tekin) saw the mach7, he hired its maker, Noel Lovisa, to develop something like it for Tekin. But there are rumors that the 410k didn't come to market the way Noel intended, but Kevin rework...

Regenerative braking? Very interesting question. The Tekin 410K is more or less the industrialized production model of the Force mach 7. So I checked Tekin manual: "The 410K also features technology to that allows the batteries to be charged while braking. When applying brakes, the energy gene...

There are almost no pictures of this rare device on the net. If someone owns one today, I would be happy to see a recent photo of it. The scanned material is from 1991.

Black rims. Black cells. Black soul? Sure. Since The Fall Of Old Tekin / Kevin Orton Story is my favorite thread, I wanted to build a RC that pays homage to K.O. I wish he would see my build and enjoy it. For those wo don't know it: https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=22700 I find myself in som...

Congrats ZED32. I'm glad it's you :lol: I can deal with backyard fixes verbally. Over 30 years ago, I was training for an buggy race with my friend. Unfortunately, cell phone cameras hadn't been invented yet. A brush-spring was lost or bent and we rammed a little pebble into the brush support and so...

This month I won't be congratulating the winner, but condoling the 2nd. How hard it must be to lose with such a lead over the rest of the field. Two individual ideas have been realized here in a particularly impressive way. Thank you both for sharing these builds.

It's interesting to see what everyone considers to be a POS. Lack of premium parts, or battered and beaten. Some are pretty nice rigs, some are barely hanging together. There are some fixes that I wouldn't have thought of, like GrePo's washers replacing a wheel bearing. I feel bad for the axle thou...
