EB48 initial release buggy, no lightened parts, rx8, hobbywing 4700, SMC 7200 2s, castle bec and hv servo. Track race weight is just over 3100g.
I definitely feel it needs more burst power though, as it feels slow for an ebuggy, even though it is still plenty quick. I think if I stick with it (motor on loan from my sct410) I'll toss in the lightened driveshafts and shorter velcro as a minimum upgrade.
You should use the hw xerun 4000kv motor, just add a touch of boost it will be faster and have that more powerful feeling you are looking for. You could consider a 550 4-pole as well sensored or sensorless it may 'feel' better with the added torque.
