What is the length of the rear shocks eye to eye? I'm looking for some big bore shocks that are not more than 150mm in length.

I think I found a number which is 137mm.

I've heard that kyosho universals will work in this truggy. Anyone have a part number and can confirm they work? Really wanna use them for my rough local track. Wonder why Tekno hasn't made them yet?

But... I have found that the Associated unis for the RC8b3 are a perfect fit for the EB48. No need to switch the hexes (Kyosho unis require you to use Kyosho hexes due to the different pin size).

Why not just get the Tekno Universals for the tekno buggy?

I recently installed a new RX8 Gen2 1350kv sensored setup in my ET48(17T pinion), replacing the RX8 Gen2 TP Powers 1090kv sensorless setup I had. I had few issues, after binding & calibrating(w/o pinion installed), I went to run it & it went WOT for no reason. I re-calibrated the ESC & it seemed to be ok. It sounds odd, @ 1/4 throttle & above it makes a strange noise (compared to the previous setup), it's like a crackling/screech. Any ideas?
I have sense adjusted the RX8, putting it at 0deg timing, turned off the current limiter, & changed to a 18T pinion. I got a full run in, the noise is less noticeable now only ~1/3-1/2 throttle. It still feels under geared. Some of my temps were high: motor 189, batt 140, cd 133, & esc 110(outside temp ~75 & humid, batt SMC 6s 60c 3600mah). Am I over or under geared?
Edit: I went up to a 21T pinion & didn't get a full run, my cheap servo may have fried. It didn't help my temps motor 205, batt 135, esc 130.

I swapped the Tekin for a MMX & Neewer 1550 (& Hitec 7950TH) 16T pinion & still was getting over 180deg at the motor. I removed the dust cover, & now I'm down to 150-165deg after a few runs, hard to believe the dust cover was holding that much heat.

For those that also have the EB48.3 & SCT410.3, do you enjoy them as much as the ET48(.3)?

Have A 48.3 I need a quality servo for. I search and find stuff all the way back to 2013. It's 2016.
Want suggestions on new servos that are a value.
Have money. No need to waste it though. Was racing sc trucks but no exp with Truggy stuff. Any help is appreciated.

I love all my Tekno vehicles, but the ET48.3 is definitely my favorite. Just so plush of a ride with the huge tires for large contact patch traction as long as you don't just balloon them all into pizza cutters. :)
