If you could only have two sets of tires, what would the be? Most races for me will be hard pack red clay with light dust, but can also get into wet loamy stuff when running after a lot of rain.
I was thinking of starting off with Green Hybrids and soft I-beams to cover those conditions, what do you guys think?

Found this post while searching to see if my 1256TG would be strong enough for the truggy.
I wanted to add that if your doing spectrum, make sure you have the DSM2 Rx not DSM, otherwise, as I found out in the PNB SCT Amain, your signal can get drowned out when there are lots of other drivers with Pro radio's around. Normal club racing is probably fine, but would not trust DSM1 at big events.

The Savox 1256 is plenty strong enough for an et48. I like Savox servos a lot, I've been racing with them for 3 years and don't think I've broken one yet. Their only down fall is some of them need glitch busters but not all of them. I have 10 maybe 12 of them in running race rigs, about half need glitch busters. The 1256 will work fine, I have one in my D8T and a I think the next stronger 1283 or something like that in my et48, it cost a bit more but it's super strong and plenty fast.

Was on the fence between eBuggy and eTruggy but figure I'll take the chance and try to be one of the pioneers for eTruggy locally. Especially since S&B Speedway is local to me and it pretty damn big. Watching Barry Pettit wheel his MBX7T made me know which one I really wanted lol.

Guys getting their new kits!!!. Mine had an old style diff housing for the front. Tilted down. Couldn't line up the front drive line. But Tekno support got it figured out in a couple hours shipped correct one asap. Disappointed but great support....
