R/C Tech Forums - Tekno ET48 Thread

The kit comes with Green front/rear. I like the yellow so far over the green when racing at Motorama. I did have a chance to run my setup at RC Pro this past Sunday and it felt good but was pushing mid corner, so I have some setup changes to make but it's more in the camber links and diff oils.

Yellow is preferred for both front and rear??

Also if you dont mind explaining, what does that term "pushing mid corner" mean?

As for getting by with the stock body...

Use Gorilla Tape, Drywall Tape, Shoe goo, etc.

I focused heavily on reinforcing the hood and roof area as well as body mount locations. I have only one weekend on the body, (Friday practice all day, Saturday Qualifying, Sunday Mains) and it took a few hard wrecks. The body is holding up okay so far. I actually placed about a millimeter of foam on the front shock tower to cushion it a bit, rather than having straight aluminum hit the body. :nod:

Mamdot91 - For the track and my driving style I like the yellow springs front and rear over the green. Each track is different as well as everyone's driving style. So I'd recommend that you have one stiffer and one lighter spring over stock as a tuning option.

Pushing or understeer as we call it means I'd like more steering in the middle of the corner. In my case I need to adjust the rear camber link a little and try some different diff oils to control things like on-power steering, off-power steering, etc...

Hope this helps,
Mark

Mark all you need is shoe goo plumbing goo any of the goo they all work the same , and drywall tape and is all available at home depot put it on the vulnivarable areas that you think the body might crack

I'd say at least get the yellow rear if you are trying to save a few bucks. Myself I like the green on the front but pistons and oils weights will play a roll here too. Mine doesn't push really at all, but that's only on the tracks I have run. Most everyone I saw had yellow rear if not yellow all the way around at Rama as Mark noted, no others locally to compare to for me, at least not yet.

The only way to do it would be to mount it on its side parallel with the chassis. I run mine in my mbx6t but there are not nearly as many size restrictions. Sorry if the orientations were described poorly.

Yes it will fit. Go back and see a couple of my posts with pictures. I run it in both my buggy and truggy.:batman::spidey:
