I've a common Hobbywing Max8 Combo with the 2200kv motor on a 15T pinion.
Very near me is a public park with a handful of baseball diamonds, though there is a long stretch of gravel road I thought led to them, so I took my Tekno onto it for a speed blast. Turns out, at the end is a BMX track with MANY 2-5' mogul jumps. Of course I had to test my truck on them, as no one was around.
Seems to be red-packed clay with a fine loam over the entire track. I currently am running a 7200mAh pack, an completely destroyed my shell jumping all that I got lined up for. My motor can was hot to the touch after heavy blasting for nearly 25 minutes, but not so much I couldn't keep my flesh on it, an in all my decades of RC, nothing, not one thing, broke! Body was worse for wear on a couple pilon-driven landings, but no lexan can keep that intact on a 30mpg nose-hard landing on an 11lb truck, lol.
I've never been this impressed with the nigh-indestructability of this kit. Not even a screw was loose or backed off.
Only thing I would improve is the front bumper from the stock kit. As it is, I'm running the popular Ford Raptor body, an the front bumper dug itself behind the body on a nose-landing, thus splitting the lexan there in the front.
Other than that, no issues with 20-30ft jumps! If anything, I need to reprogram the esc to not brake as hard, as in this case, the truck front-endo-ed FAR too easily.
Gotta love Tekno!
