Will this work with 2 x wired smc battery packs?

Currently running the durango dex408t and have batteries for the 2x2s layout.
Maybe placing them back to back?

The good thing about the chassis being so skinny is that you can probably get most truggy bodies to fit and make some chassis side components to fit the body along the sides. This allows you to chose your poison.

In the buggy, some run 2x 2s. Depending on packs, they can either go on their sides next to each other, or get stacked on each other in the battery tray (generally taped or velcrod together to keep anything from sliding).

Many truggies these days do. I'll likely be trying the Serpent e-truggy body. I fear it may be a bit short though since Serpent has front mounted rear shocks. It still sort if resembles a rat screaming after having its back run over by a truck, higher bed sides, longer cab, and roof less sloped, the design is a lot more appealing to to me. That said, the Tekno body is far from the worst looking.

ET48 and NT48 parts pages have been populated on Tekno's website. Drop the kits on there! :)

got word there looks like a movement to do E-truggy this year at a track I attend.

Hoping to join in.

interesting 20k/20k/10k for diffs suggested. 60 wt and 50wt oils.

UK.hardcore 12-17-2013 10:45 AM

the kit setup looks like it's made to make the truck lazy.

maybe i'm wrong but it's my view on it.

w_dupree 12-17-2013 11:05 AM

Tekno did what Serpent did and made the internal diff gears really small which calls for heavier oils. 15k/20k/10k in my Serpent is perfect.

I liked my Serpent @ 7/7/3.
