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

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?
