My opinion: it depends on your reason for wanting them. The unis themselves are definitely lower maintenance than the CVDs. My unis show very little wear after the past year. But I’ve found myself replacing the rear hub bearings more frequently with the unis.

I do not notice a difference in the way my MT410 drives with the unis. I do, however, feel a difference (unis vs. CVD) in my ET48.3. In the truggy, the unis definitely make the suspension feel softer/more free when the track is rough. But we’re talking about a MONSTER TRUCK! We’re not race tuning here.

Long story short, if you want unis for lower maintenance and better wear of this expensive component, they’re worth it. But I doubt you’ll notice much difference in the drive.

Did a few snow bashes over the past week with Mx38 Badlands. They did pretty well....but tomorrow I’m going to have more traction and ground clearance.

Those tires look like there gonna do awesome in the snow. Seem like some heavy ass tires, but the right tool for the job.

I’ve had these tires for years. I don’t run them much because they heat everything up too much.
But....it’s snowy and friggin frigid out, so this is ideal time to have fun with them

Who has the EB48, ET48 and the MT410?

Do you have a pic, of above head view, size comparison.

I may take the plunge on one, yet being I am a huge Truggy fan, I want to create a Mid size truggy, akin to when out 1/8 buggies were shorter wheelbase, and Truggy started out based on MT.

The eb48 will be the same wheelbase/chassis length as the MT410. The MT410 is just a eb48/sct410 with wide truggy arms.

I have a eb48, MT410 a s sct410.3(converted to a rock racer type thing). I can get pics.

....am 99% sure EB48 chassis is same length as MT410, sct410

Hey does anyone know where part TKR5217 goes. I see people talk about it but i cant seem to locate where on the ET48.3 or MT410 it goes. Its the rear diff support. Pics would be awesome if possible of it installed or of original part that TKR5217 replaces..

I believe that’s and older style center diff mount piece? A non-split mount style....so, not as easy to access. It’s a solid piece so the entire mount would need to be removed to get the center diff out.

NevWeezy

Oh ok gotcha. Yeah i thought so but some dude on youtube put it in and took out the center split diff. Thats what confused me, thought it was an upgrade. Since i got the upgraded aluminum split center diff this is no use.

Thanks

Something like this?

Buggy chassis, buggy/SCT arms, 2.8 tires, modified (shortened) Tekno truggy body. I wanted a more nimble MT410/ET48 by using the shorter wheelbase and narrower track width.

images showing droop...moved rear SCT shocks to front, as they are the same shock as the front truggy shocks. Temporarily moved my MT410 to the rear...perfect, ordered a set of XL shock bodies and shafts to convert another set of shocks to the proper length. This was needed to get proper suspension travel as the truggy shock towers are taller.

Exactly what I wanted...a more nimble, race-able, smaller truggy, that is just as durable and bashable should I want to do that as well.

Yes exactly.

I have an ET48 and MT410...awesome vehicles I wouldn't trade for the world. However, they are big, wide and heavy - best suited for larger tracks/bashing areas. They need more room to air out for sure.

Sometimes you just don't have access to larger spaces and you want something a pinch smaller and more nimble. Same durability, similar chassis, just a bit smaller footprint. Makes a huge difference, I can turn under most 1/10 scale vehicles easily.

Yeah, thats what I was getting after, as much as I love to race Truggy, there are tracks that are just too tight / short. And thinking back to when Truggy first started, they were shorter and more narrow.
