Tekno RC V4 Quick Start Manual

You will need a suitable brushless motor, brushless ESC, and battery pack to complete the conversion. More about choosing the right gear can be found
at www.teknorc.com. A 3 channel radio with throttle mixing is preferred if you are running mechanical brakes. For motor brake setups, a 2 channel radio
will work just fine.
Before You Begin:
Start with a clean work area. Be sure to keep any screws that you remove as we will be re-using most of them. Remove all
radio gear before doing major disassembly. Make sure you have a good set of tools :)
1. Disassembly of stock/nitro parts:
accommodate mechanical brakes so remove all of the brake hardware (discs, pads, linkages, etc.).
Next remove the rear suspension assembly and rear chassis brace. Then remove the front suspension/steering assembly and front chassis brace. The
stock axles will be replaced with custom length Tekno RC axles that are included in the kit. Leave the diff cups/couplings on the diff output shafts, they
will be re-used.
2. Reverse Steering Arm:
(pointing to the outside of the chassis). We moved the servo slightly for better alignment and this step is needed to move the RX box closer to center.
Performance will be unaffected.

3. Motor mount:
Assemble motor as shown in
the diagram to the left (fig. 1).
NOTE: You will re-use the
stock diff top plate, the
screws for the top plate and
the (4x) M4x10mm flat screws
from the stock nitro diff
mounts.
In figure 2a and 2b, you can
see the two drive options. If
you are using a Tekno RC
Traktion Drive unit
(TKR4301X), the diff gear
should be toward the back of
the car. If you are using a
standard pinion (TKR4171-
>TKR4190), the diff gear
should be toward the front of
the car.
The (2x) M4x12mm button
screws are used to clamp the
motor in place and set the
mesh. The bottom screw is
accessed through a slot in the
chassis. To remove the
motor, remove the top screw,
loosen the bottom screw and
the motor will slide out.
