Parts price is very reasonnable. I only have them for the european market though.. I too appreciate the reactivity and began with a revo. I was talking with Jp about the passion we can feel behind the Eb48, it's a pleasure to speak to tekno directly and have all the infos we ask for. Nowadays the success of products is more and more related to the ability of the brands to communicate

none. The belt drive vehicle didn't go where the guy designing it needed it to. But as far as getting weight down the center, you probably don't get any better than that and you don't necessarily have to use a belt drive to achieve this,but there are other compromises you have to make.

Ultimately, getting the "best" layout still has compromises.

The vehicles excel at different things. The AE's problem in my opinion after seeing what effort has been put in by the owners of the vehicle (a lot of the fixes AE came out with in the Factory Team mirror things that people did way prior) is that it needed more time to "cook". The vehicle's main area of issue is 1/8 scale blown out tracks with super big jumps.


Anyway, back on topic, what amount of torque does tekno recommend for a brake servo on this buggy since it is lighter?

I'm not running mechanical brakes right now, but a Hitec 985 or 965 would be perfect.

is it possible to run a short universal drive shaft in the center rear instead of dogbone?

Sure, if there is one short enough. We think a dog bone is really the best thing for this short application, but we might make an option.

The front shafts don't wobble like they do in the V4 kits. This is due to the front gear box being angle to compensate for the chassis kick up. So it's a straight shot to the center diff. Much better for wear and efficiency.

Taiwan, the same country as Losi, Durango, Traxxas, HPI, Hong Nor, etc. I think Mugen is now manufactured in Taiwan as well.
