The Gigante bodies fit well with the truggy chassis and so does the Associated Rival Body, but they’re both very thin Lexan and don’t last long. And the Gigante bodies are often very hard to find.

I’ve just put in the HW EZRun Max 8 to run 6S. The 2000kv on 4S was fine - tons of power and speed. But I wanted to try 6S for longer runs and lower temps. BTW, I use the truggy chassis in my MT410.

14 fits ‘cause I’m running a 48 spur. But I had to raise the center diff about 2mm to do it.

I’ve run a 74mm 2000kv motor for a while now. 16 or 17 tooth pinion, depending on the tires. Not enough power for standing back flips, but great on the track.

I can't speak to the quality of the Tekno unis. But I'm sure they're as tough as the rest of the car. But I've been using the Associated unis in my EB48.3 for months with no signs of wear.

I run the Tekin 2000 truggy motor with an 18 tooth pinion without excessive motor heat - typically 160 after a 12 minute run. But I'll drop to a 17 tooth when ambient temps are really warm.

The Kyoshos and Associated unis can be purchased cheap on eBay or Dollarhobbyz. And I've seen a few sets of Teko shafts fail (pins pop out). Haven't seen that with Kyosho or Associated.
