Should work just fine. I ran a HW SCT-pro for over a year in my 1/8e. No issues.

SMC batteries and nothing else, for the price there is nothing better, love mine.

For 4s SMC has the below 6500 mah 70c/140c and its 22.29oz. The trinity 6700 is twice the price and only .39 oz lighter. Plus SMC has awesome customer service like Tekno.

Yes. Mine came with a bunch of the stuff that is now standard on the EB48.2 upon review for lightening it up and it works excellent. I am toying though with using the black SCT410 chassis to see how it handles as I have a spare.

Thanks, thinking along the lines though of a 4200mah or so pack and that weight.

I have been using a ProTek 4300mAh 100C with season and its been good so far.

Been running the reedy 4600. I switched because I like the bullet connectors. These have plenty of run time for 10 min mains.

In the list of EB48.2 updates I see

• Updated steering servo horn for better durability

Does this mean it comes with an improved plastic servo horn that now lasts more the 3 laps?

Updated design as shown here.



Plus, there's now their own aluminum servo horn (made for EB48) which should be an upgrade on any vehicle from the start in my opinion.

And the internal diff gears and cross pins.

So basically.... the plastic diff cups, o-ring seals, the rear center bone and and wheel CVDs are the same. Everything else is new vs the original release of the EB48. LOL.

seem like I have to wait till next week.

Dear Tower Hobbies Customer,

Thank you for contacting Tower Hobbies. Unfortunately, we have no information on that vehicle at all. We do show the EB48 will arrive in the next week or so; however, there is nothing about the .2 version. Good luck in your search. We appreciate your time and business with us.

I guess I will order the servo arm from Tekno today

Cool. I already have the HB horn. No need for another. I do like their new aluminum horn though. Looks good.

Personally I dont mind running the plastic arm as the "weak link" A good plastic servo arm should hold up just fine in normal crash situations. I ran Xray and Asociated plastic arms for years with no complaints. If the new Tekno arm is any good I'll probably run that too.

That's correct. We still recommend an aluminum horn, but the stock piece is much better than before. It's something that involved a costly mold modification, but we decided in the scheme of things we should continue to improve every aspect of the car if possible.

The HB horn puts too much stress on the servo IMO. That is why we redesigned the plastic horn and waited so long to release an aluminum version. We tested both extensively and our new arm is much gentler with servos.

How has the reliability been with the hard anodized aluminum rod end pivot balls? I always wished someone had made steel balls for the Losi SCTE rod ends because I hated replacing them every couple of months when they wore down. I'm still using the rod ends that came on my first run EB48 and there is almost no wear what so ever.

+1.5 degree rear toe plate (TKR5013B). Anyone know when these will be in stock or where I can get one? They are as elusive as the EB48.2.

Speaking of, awesome upgrades... they could have almost just called it the EB48I (for indoor obviously) it is so light, I think it would get tossed around on my local outdoor track.
