SMC motor and batteries are awesome in this truck!

Just finished reading the whole thread. If I decide to get a new short course, it's definitely going to be this one. And thanks to this thread I now know what to look for and what options to get (depending on how much I'm willing to spend.
Block A is the one that breaks (according to the posts here).
IIRC it was no program, just a PDF setup guide, just like the Hudy setup book. Haven't seen it myself though.

Do you need a spare set of a-arms, hubs, spindle steering for this thing?

To answer a few of the prior topics.
1) SMC Motor - I had a hand in designing it. It has a lot of torque, but can run a little warm (not super hot though). However, it cools off WAY better than most other motors with just a simple heat sink, as the can is flat instead of ridged, allowing for all of the heat sink to make good contact and work the most efficiently. It was designed to be the closest to the HobbyWing 4700 in performance as could be done in a ROAR legal 540 can length. I run both motors and like them both.
2) The Tekno Setup Guide isn't yet ready for public consumption (as posted by Tekno in the past), and is still being worked on. It had gotten leaked before it was ready.
3) The PC program people may be thinking of is "RC Crew Chief", which got a section for handling the new Tekno V2 hinge pin holders added to it. I haven't used it, but most folks who do seem to like it.
4) The most important hinge pin blocks to get are the "A" and "C" blocks (front end of both the front and rear). The "A" one is for durability, and the "C" one is to drop the inserts to make setup easier, with less anti-squat and the ability to run a roller rear roll center and not force lots of anti-squat to do so.
5) Spares are generally not needed as it is a pretty durable vehicle. That being said, the most common bits to break (beyond the A block) are the same as on most vehicles. A horrible horrible crash can damage the arms, hinge pins, spindles, spindle carriers, and stub axles. In practice, this is fairly seldom, but those are still probably the most common of the broken parts. We have a nickname for the Tekno SC trucks though...Tekno Tankos. It was coined by several of the rookies that picked them up when they didn't break them, even after hitting each other full speed in opposite directions (jumping into the straight...repeatedly...on one of the layouts).

I use a rx8 gen2 with a SMC 6500 2s pack. Their batteries are a great deal too. I just like to run what works well and for the time being, I love it.

WOW, 140 max in a 10 minute main with a 19T on a 4500kv motor? Motor runs really cool apparently, or u need to give it some throttle! I have heard good things about that motor and the price is great, might try one but for me its hard to beat the Hobbywing Xerun 4000/4700kv in these trucks.

I'm also running the SMC motor & battery and RX8 Gen2 combo myself. The only problem I ran into was with the sensor wire plugged into either port on the motor. There was a very bad hesitation off idle (0 rpm). Wasn't cogging or anything, just a slow 'ramp' up. I tried everything possible on the RX8 to no avail, new sensor wires, etc. However once I disconnected the sensor wire, she came to life. So smooth, I can't tell its sensorless anyway, so I'm just leaving it.

Played with the built in steering stops today at the track, try'd 2-3 and 4 washers, 4 worked best for me. Really calmed down the twitchyness of the truck and simply made it easier to drive and more predictable. I'm running on a fairly large indoor with medium to high grip. For you guys that haven't try'd it do yourself a favor and give it a go, its easy to play with and makes a big difference. Going to do it on my Eb48SL as well.

Download the manual for the eb48.3 and scroll down to bag I, that will show you what you need to know.
