That's the revised motor mount. It's not a one off.

Nice. I looked back at some of my .1 kit pictures and the motor mount is indeed different. Much improved and i take back what i said about it needing to be beefier. Tekno amazes me how much little improvements they make and my own ignorance that causes me to not notice them. Thanks very much tekno.

Sorry for the complaints.

p.s. That et48 tempts me so.

Hi when did this motor mount come out ?

I have the eb48.2 and does not look like yours?

Is this another running improvement by tekno for et48 and for eb48.2

Did they revise the side tray too? The hole in mine is no where big enough to fit the head of the screw through.

When i was building, there was an addenum sheet showing the new mount and the larger hole in the plastic side guard.

Yes as it would I have checked et48 manual it's the standard motor mount ,beefier for larger truggy motors

Flows on to eb48.2 with revised esc tray aswell


Good job tekno now for the split center diff / with new motor mount

Does the light weight motor mount get the same treatment!

Will you be able to still buy the previous mounts respectively as the new one / s may be slightly heavier !

You said it brother...I could really use a split center diff mount. Im always changing stuff around a this would cut out down time for sure. Ive heard thru the grapevine that elite rc has a motor mount and split diff in the works, but im considering this a rumor for now.

As of right now a split center diff is all I would change on the .2, besides that this kit is on point.

I have a set of the 16mm Fioroni pistons on the way now.

I was going to get some of the non-vented shock caps when they come into stock at Amain.

Is that advisable with these pistons?

Just a tip.. take the stock pistons, use your soldering iron and a zip tie to fill and then seal up two holes on each piston (opposite each other). This is the best/cheapest way to get the pack up.

I'm not sure where this fad came from w/ the emulsion shocks, but I still will stick w/ the bladders and being able to set my rebound; typically I find around 20% front and 10% rear is best. But that is a to each his own.

I picked up a .2 in November, still running the old mount and side tray. As soon as i can make sure i can order one, where I don't get the old stock, better believe im getting one. That's been the only thing that i never cared for, it bends a little then makes your mesh scream. Since you can't get them to be Parallel anymore. Didn't slow my buggy down one little bit tho. If we are throwing out "please make me" I would love to see split diff, CNC at the wheels, bearing instead of bushings for the steering. Now i know this is over kill BUT i would pay for it. Knowing that the bushing are not gonna wobble out the holes up front...More so that would look awesome!
