I'd go 1700 or 1900 buggy. I have a 2000 and its a bit much. Also 5000 may not be enough. Id go mid six thousand. I run 6700s

I was able to do a 20min main on an SMC 6500 4s so would think 5000 would be plenty for a 10min.

Around the 1700-1800 area is perfect, I personally use a hobbywing 1800.

Depending on the brand of your equipment, a 5000 should last anywhere from 12-15 minutes (dependant on your throttle finger of course)

thanks for the info.

Hmm so a buggy motor can be used? do I need a fan, etc?

Can source a buggy motor easier than the truggy for what I want to spend.

Yes sir. Although, this is what I use: http://www.falconsekido.com/products/xrm4274sd

yes, a buggy motor can be used. I am using a Tekin T8 1900 and it is great. Temps aren't bad, and it has usable power. Make sure you test for temp and use the correct pinion.

Thanks, I may just go that route instead.

Funny, I had a 1700 motor here for buggy for a possible indoor setup.

I'll probably try a 1900kv, Tekin or Viper and see how it goes.

Thanks everyone!


Next question, what is the hot loose track setup at this time?

If I want to run a similat setup like my 1/8 buggy and 1/10 sct, what should be changed relative to the truggy? (example, I use inner tower shock position, on the truggy go 1 out from whatever location on the buggy, etc)

Let us know if you have any other questions during the build, or otherwise!

+ 1

im using the tekin 1900 gen2 with a 16 tooth pinion. plenty of power. and the temps are good. im using 5000 gens ace packs and i made a 10 min main with 2 or 3 practice laps pretty easy.

im running the stock setup minus diffs. 10-15-5 with lrc brace and it has been pretty good on the loose tracks i run on. i would start there. also try taking some droop out.

looks like I will be joining the crew! :smile:

I picked up an ET48 that looks like it wasn't used much for $500 shipped.

Coming with 3 sets of AKA tires that appear to be in excellent condition, full set of springs front and rear, front and rear new A-arms and a new body along with a used one.

So, what is the hot loose track setup right now and are the 6 x 1.5mm piston setup useful on this truck?

lastly, is the LRC block the hot ticket on this truck too like its cousins the EB48 and SCT410?

Oh boy Cain. You have a whole family now! Congrats. Now Nitros:eek:

LOL, no Nitro ... NO!!!

Shot you an email :)

My track is pretty dusty and dry by the time buggy quals are up. I'm running mostly the stock eb48.2 setup and using max rear toe. I don't have the optional rear lrc brace yet but I do have the inserts that a member here made. For me on my track I have better results going with max rear toe vs. The lrc insert. How the insert vs. The tekno brace handles I cannot comment on that because I don't have one yet.

Are running tekno now carter?
