what KV motor?

Thanks for the info guys!!

The 1900kv motor

Is it just me or have tekno parts gone up in price quite a bit?

what made you pick that over 2200?

2200 is way over powered for buggy imo.

1900 kv is about the best you could ask for. I usually stick with a 20 tooth

so people, what did you break on your EB48 so far ?

my bank account

Agreed, also add the Reds motors to the list. Incredibly powerful, reliable, and come off cool.

Not that I've seen.

Land speed records :D

:lol:

Only things that went south on mine were a few bearings and a shock shaft bent.
You guys have me wanting to try a Tekin esc. All I run is castle esc's lol

What temp is your motor after the run? I'm running a SMC 1900 kv and HW XR8 (4 degrees of timing) with a 17 tooth pinion and it gets a little warm. Motor comes off track around 170 after a 12 minute run. I feel like a 20 tooth would cook the motor. You're not too hot?

Thanks.

Seriously though, there are some common wear/tear parts that you can stock once you get a feel for the vehicle. Hinge pin, hinge pin inserts, shock boots are the most common things I replace, but not too often.

Same here. Wears extremely well. Have never DNF'd due to parts breakage in over 2 years running Tekno (EB, NB and ET). Built like tanks.

With the .2 buggy for two years I replaced shock boots two rear braces and a chassis. My guess is the chassis wearing lead to the slightly weaker rear end and the two rear braces breaking. The m2c chassis is a nice upgrade though. Ohh and several sets of bearings. i'm not sure how well the new .3 arms and parts are holding up yet.

What do you guys recommend for a steering servo?
