hello everyone. i have RC8.2E FT and i bought tekno et48.3 also with used tekin rx8 esc and the novak hd8 and a friend of mine building it these days.
i been running my rc8.2e with leopard 2650kv motor and hobbywing esc on 5s setup without problems for two years. (21/46 for 60MPH speed)
from what i know as long you dont pass the 50k rpm the motor should be fine.
so i dont understand why a 1900kv motor will be rated as max 4s..
maybe its because the dynamic timing? i always set it to timing 0.
anyway,can it take 5s on timing 0 without problems? (aiming for 50mph with 5s on truggy).

It may be listed elsewhere but how easy to convert a .3 to a .4??

Is the .4 that much better than the .3?

Ackerman arm, front hubs and spindles, steering arms/servo saver, A/B/C/D blocks, front and rear arms, rear hubs, Universals, F/R diff pinion and ring gear. It's a lot of stuff. If you went to amain and bought it all you'd be damn near at the price of a new kit.

You forgot chassis. The new pivot blocks / arms move the droop screws out further so they won't work on the old chassis.
The .4 improves on the .3 in the same way the .3 improved on the .2. It's more stable, easier to drive fast, handles rough stuff better, and inspires more confidence when driving.

Looking at possibly running 1/8 ebuggy next outdoor season and had a couple of questions.
#1 Used vs New - I know that Tekno makes a nearly indestructible product, but when it comes to wear, does the EB48.4 hold up well enough to make buying used worth it? I hate overly sloppy stuff, or worn outdrives, so lately I've been buying most stuff new.
#2 EB48.5 - Looks like the EB48 is on a roughly 1.5ish year cycle (.4 Dec16, .3 Jun15, .2 Aug13, EB48 May12), any hints if we will see a .5 next spring?

That said, being new to tekno, buying and building is a great experience. I would probably choose this option. Building it also show's you how to repair/replace stuff.
I don't expect a new ebuggy for a while. IMHO they got this one right, and it can be setup to any driving style.

I have ran mine this season and replaced the front drive shaft twice and front gearbox because I over tightened the screws. That's been everything so far.

For number 2, that has kinda happened, but there is no "cycle" for Tekno. They don't say "we need a new car at X time" like many other companies do. They come out with something when they have decided they have something much better. With the wheeler out now, and everybody pretty happy with both the buggy and truggy, I would GUESS that the next "point" whatever for any vehicle would just be like the EB48.2 was, an update that includes common upgrade options that have been found at that point (though, there's almost nothing in the way of upgrades that people are getting beyond what's in the kit now for the buggy). So, don't fear the new release, or a release cycle. Find something affordable that you will enjoy and have at it.

Right now personally I think the next thing I would like to see tekno do is standardize the vehicles they have to the current ".4" spec where possible. So vehicles like the SCT410.3/EB48SL and ET48.3 get the various upgrades that the EB48.4 has (where applicable) to get them to a .4 spec.

according to my knowledge 3 is better than 4
