i would say -and this is just my opinion- when it comes to use such motor on 4S or higher on racing tracks , it's all about the talent of the individual holding the transmitter.

thanks again ifuonlyknow.
Driving a car around on the street takes no talent. Driving a car on a track, with barriers and other drivers takes skill. I have been into this hobby for 20+ years. I know what I am talking about. Also it is not hard to make it look like you never crash while on video. Record a lot of footage and edit out all the crashes.

Hi Danny, is there an Australian distributor for Tekno? My LHS didn't even know you existed, so they lost some brownie points there.

I'm looking to get two EB48 kits, one to build and one for spares and am researching the cheapest way to get to in Australia.

Thanks

Hi guys,
After a little research I'm planning to buy a new EB48 however a friend of mine (an avid Mugen fan) keeps telling me that the MBX6 is far superior regarding turning capability..
Please, can someone who tried both cars enlight me with the truth?

Also I'm planning to run a 6s system (with a tekin 1400kv and 3000mah lipo), has someone experience with a similar setup?

If anyone wants to try something different I would be willing to trade my near new DEX408 even for a similar condition EB48.

too bad to hear you welling to trade an almost new dex408 so fast.
why didn't you check the forum here first before buying that buggy ? i posted a video i made to compare the both buggy's and indicated clearly that the dex408 comes in 2nd place after the eb48 also notified that there's two big mistakes in it's design that made me throw it way and buying the eb48 instead.

Hope that you'll find a trader soon.

if you couldn't find trader, try selling it on ebay then buy a used eb48.
this is what i will do if i couldn't trade mine if i were in your condition.
Best of luck .

in regard to your second question, i ran 6S but with different motor. it will push so hard from the dead stop. during runing it's much eiser to control compred with wot from zero.
front end might rise too if you accelerate faster.

I never said there was any flaws in the dex. I simply like to try new vehicles often. The dex drives and handles great. I have a tekno sct so I figured I would get their buggy too.

from your previous post i thought that it's new and you want to trade it because you turn unsatisfied with it. it's ok i got your point now.
anyway, the dex408 is my 2nd choice but it has a very bad esc location tough. their customer support in europe very slow in response too.

Hello

I don't think there is an Australian distributor as yet but go to tower hobbies you should be able to buy one for about 450to470aus with postage that's with international discount codes become a member first it will reduce postage a little then you will receive emails with international discounts code you can use based on how much you spend hope this helps mate

That's pretty good! How long does it take to get these discount codes?

I've bought a lot from Amain but there car prices are not competitive.

Amain is good for small orders cheap shipping and fast delivery
Tower hobbies good for bulk buy large orders
Delivery 3to 4weeks faster shipping more costly up to you
Ok for one eb48 code is 014XG about $125aus off
Two eb48's code is 014XL about$250 aus off

Try them mate

Thank you so much, I will check those out.

I really need to decide on an ESC/motor combo.

I'm thinking sensored and was looking at the Tekin combo but the Viper ESC with a Tekin motor is looking better maybe.

I was thinking the 1900kv motor but people are now saying its gutless?
