I made some weight calculations between this buggy and the Losi SCTE. If you equip this buggy with only a 2S 6000mAh pack and a Pro4 motor you will save 448grams (0,98lb)!

If the numbers from Tekno is correct (3400grams for a RTR) then the total weight for a EB48 buggy on 2S with a Pro4 motor is 2950grams (6.5lb). Compared to a SCTE which is over 3000g (6.6lb).

I would like to see this buggy on a 2S with a Pro 4000 motor. What do you guys think?
IMO it is a really bad idea.

4WD SCT runs 2S LiPo because of ROAR rules that limit battery voltage, not because it is a good thing to do.

There is a discussion on that subject in this thread:
