Matt Wolter was running that motor in truggy last year at AMS 4.0.

cool. my truck is on it way, be here tomorrow. Is there anything I MUST do during build? Any upgrades I MUST install? Thanks for the info, and yes I doing my best to ready the 188 pages fast I can :)

Guys running a 15t without sanding down the brace is a fine mesh?

I started with a Protek 130t and switched out for a 170S. I have to say it is the most badass servo I have ever used. Totally overkill on 7.4. I want to put one in everything I drive. Some will say it makes your truck twitchy due to the speed and torque but it's exactly how I like it. After I ran through a pack at the track I went inside to run my SCT410 with a savox 1258tg which is supposed to be fast and I was running into walls getting used to having to turn so much earlier. I have since put the 130t in my SC and prefer it over the Savox. I have not had any issues with my 2 Protek servos (knock on wood) and will buy more in the future if they proove to be consistand and durable.

Perfect mesh for me with a 15t.

I had to sand my brace, the 15t pinion would only partially mesh for me.

:nod:

I think the included Tekno plastic horns have gotten a little better, but I wouldn't bother with them and just go ahead and get an Aluminium horn.

Other than that I think most are running more like 15-20-5 in the diffs vs. stock, otherwise handles great out of the box and then tuning for personal pref from there.

I personally took a few turns of droop out of the front and stood up the shocks in the rear a bit to tune out some push exiting turns, but otherwise still running stock.

my body is THINNER than a touring car body!!!

I shoe goo and tape all my 8th scale off-road bodies.

Quality of body seems like the one from my mini 8ight body. Or maybe that's even better than this ... Lol.

I have a couple of cracks but otherwise is ok after 2 race days. I definitely need to tape and goo it to last, but using Velcro on the bottom forgoing the clips has helped a lot. That lets the body be supported from the bottom and has a little more give.

I just bought a one race old ET48 from a friend of mine. Got a smoking deal on it RTR with 4- new 4s batteries. It has a 1700kv Tekin truggy motor on it with a Gen2 RX8. Has anyone else ran this motor? My other truggy which is a non Tekno I'm running a 1550kv motor on 5s and get 17 1/2 minutes run time. What kind of run time would I be looking at with the 1700kv? Just wondering in case I have to run with the nitros and might need to make a battery swap.

I used the 7200 x 2 in practice for 34min !! In the main I did 3 practice laps and the 20min easy. The next day they ran for another 4 minutes on the stand.
