Did you change to the new arms also, I guess the new perches probably will work with all arm versions

I put them on the EB and ET. They work well so far although I never really had a problem with the old ones coming off. Don't have any cracks in the new boots so far, but has only been two race days on them.

it is more of a pain having another screw in the mix when changing springs, but you can leave those off during practice as your trying out different setups then add them back for extra security during the race.

The work fine with the non revised arms. Im still using mine, and will update when they need changing.

****stupid question alert****
(I've been reading older posts, and haven't seen it mentioned yet, and I'm still playing catch up. Just wanted to throw this out there)


Is there any way to get away with running a 2s setup in the eb48.2? Yes I know, everyone is running 4s, but I don't want to have to buy 4s batteries right now. I have a RX8 Gen 2, and a few motor options. I have the T8 1900KV for when I'm ready for 4S. Can I get away with say a pro4HD 4300? Or the Hobbywing 4700? (yes, I have all 3, I just put my pro4 4600kv in my sct410) And if I can, what would the suggestion be for gearing? Running on a small indoor track (100x40)


I know a local guy is running 2S and in the top 3, but he's also running the SL version, which is of course, basically a truck, and much lighter.

If you have 2 of the same 2s batteries you can run them in series and then use the T8 1900

I run gens ace batteries, connectors are out the top on one end. no way to stack them. At least I don't think you can safely.

Look back 2 pages, there's a pic of a guy running two inboard style 2s batteries, that should give you an idea of how to make it work

Interesting, I found it. Thanks a bunch! I might be able to pull that off. I just have to make a jumper.

from what people are saying having owned both the proHD and the hobbywing, the hobbywing appears to run a bit cooler, probably due to its rotor size and that heatsink around the middle.

you could give that a look in your vehicle on 2S for sure.

Yes that was me, it works.

I thought that was for the sct410 though? I haven't seen mention of it here for the eb48. I'll give that a shot.

This Saturday it will just be testing/trying out the eb. It is the last race of the current points series for the sct410, so i have to concentrate there.

My first time driving an 1/8th scale. I've only driven 10th scale sct's till now.

from what I recall the eb48 isn't massively heavier. Main thing I think is cooling to the motor, etc.

Let us know how it goes, be curious.

If they're comparable, why not the pro4HD 4300? That thing was a frigging beast compared to the t8 4600kv. I had to turn everything up to get the 4600 around the track, even though it is a bit easier to control.

common think mentioned about the motor is that it runs hotter than the hobbywing, hence, in a sealed setup like you get for the buggy body that may be a better match. rotor dimensions on the hobbywing are a bigger to, I think there is a picture showing it similar to the T8I size but you would need to hunt that down.

That said, give it a go if you prefer and see what you think. Jhauz I beleive ran that motor at one point and I think felt he needed a fan to keep temps where he wanted, but I believe it was the 1900kv-ish version.

2s eBuggy lite with the EB48 works fine, but heat is a common issue if running longer mains.

That being said, it can NOT keep up with a 4s eBuggy on a normal 8th scale track, and it will have serious fade from voltage sag and heat by the end of a normal 8 or 10 minute eBuggy run if you can even make it that long.

If you're indoors or on a small track with 5 or 6 minute mains, then 2s and 3s can work quite well, keeping the weight down with the smaller batteries and motors. I normally ran with the hobbywing 4700 current limited to 60% on an rx8 with no timing and a 16t pinion for quite a while, and often won with it in the eBuggy lite class. It requires good ventilation though, and to not overdrive it too much (but it is an eBuggy so you have to drive it hard...cause it is an eBuggy!).

If you are on a larger track, have longer mains, or are outdoors though...I would definitely drop the t8 1900 in and run 4s as that is perfect for eBuggy and what the EB48 was designed around for a motor.
