Latest from Tekno RC (http://www.teknorc.com):

Not just another 'conversion', the Tekno RC V3 Brushless Kit is a total electric transformation! Featuring the first commercially available 1/8th scale electric specific chassis along with Tekno RC's innovative patent pending Elektri-Clutch system. This is the kit everyone has been waiting for:


Factory Finish - hard anodized chassis, black anodized and injection molded components
Lowest CG of any conversion, provides better handling and higher capacity batteries
4mm 7075-T6 CNC hard anodized chassis - only the best, no stamping here
No extra holes, no drilling, no mods - designed for electric racing by electric racers
Patent pending Elektri-Clutch system to tune the power delivery of the hottest brushless motors. Our hardened steel clutchbells will last and last because the motor is disengaged from the drivetrain off power. For those that prefer direct drive, our kits are compatible with long shank 5mm bore mod1 pinions as well. More options and flexibility than any other kit on the market.
Patent pending 1-piece motor mount/heatsink fully supports your motor and provides superior cooling under the most rigorous conditions. Need more cooling? Slap a 40mm fan on the integrated fan mount
Mechanical brakes with front/rear brake bias provides world class handling while lowering operating temps and easing the stress on your motor, ESC, and drivetrain

Optimized left-to-right and front-to-rear weight balance - battery is as close to center as possible for the best handling of any electric 1/8th scale on the market
Included radio tray keeps the wires neat and features an integrated transponder mount
Low CG battery tray keeps the battery protected while allowing the most height clearance of any setup on the market
Proven tough Tekno RC battery strap system WILL protect your batteries and will NOT break
Servo mounts feature integrated cable guides to keep your servo wires neat and away from hazardous moving parts
Includes full Tekno RC Elektri-Clutch setup - adapter, compact flywheel, collet, clutch nut, clutch shoes, clutch spring, clutch bell and bearings, an unbeatable value
Custom chassis mud guards keep the dirt away and finish off the factory quality kit
Tekno RC - No compromises!


Note: 3 Channel radio with channel mixing may be required for use with mechanical brakes depending on your setup. M11, DX3R, DX3.0, Futaba 3PK, EX-1 Helos, etc.

1/8th Scale Electric specific 4mm CNC machined and hard anodized 7075-T6 chassis

Looks a lot better than Losi's electric Eight!

I wish I could have one of these this weekend. A buddy of mine (and a AE sponsored racer) is hating on his nitro RC8 right now, and would convert to electric in a heartbeat if we had one on hand.

Can you drive from California to Iowa tomorrow to bring me a kit?
