Fastlane doesn't have any, so I have replacements on the way, but I'm dead in the water right now. I could either pay you for yours or give you one of my replacements when they show up.

Let me know if either one of you can help.
I don't have a single spare part for this thing, sorry. I bet Jaime or Andrew has one though.

Hope you can still make it.

Thank you.
Here's a pic:

This is just a temporary setup till i get a couple smc packs for my hobbywing motor. It's tilted to the side like that for extra airflow.

I looked at doing a conversion before they came out with the SCT410. The biggest problem I had with it was that the larger knuckles/hubs didn't seem like they would fit inside of SCT sized wheels.

Is it confirm it won't fit? 17mm de racing sc wheel works fine for my mbx6 converted sct

Did a thorough search ( I think ) Can anyone confirm or have pics of a Novak active 8 esc fitting into this truck? Just picked up a new truck!

Just wondering..Is there enough room to run a Tekin 550 4.5 motor with the soudering post of a RX8 facing the back of the motor? if yes,looks like the motor wires will be about a inch long...

Thanks,

I don't believe the Tekin is any longer than any other 550.
I run the TenShock with my RX8 sideways (longer side going from front to back of the truck). Putting it with the posts facing the motor gives even more room.

If you look up the early press photos for the EB48, you can see it in the orientation you mention, but with an even larger 8th scale motor, the T8. You'll have plenty of room.

Yes it fits. I tripled up on servo tape underneath so it it is tall enough to clear the side guard. And I had to trim. 2mm off the angled part of the guard. Fits like a glove.

I used these old trinity heatsinks I found on ebay. A little heavy but drops temps 30* and no moving fan parts for rocks to break. I'm very happy with them.

Ha ha. I was thinking the same thing !!! Today I will .. Sunday was the my first day outside at rc madness for practice . The track has not been groomed yet this year so it still has a ton of loose stuff on it. It is being resurfaced this week. I have to say though, this truck ate up that big 1/8 track!!! First big outdoor track I have been on and I could not be happier... To the point where the guy next to me driving his losi eight stopped and said "what is that?", as I was pulling him in the corners And jumping pretty much just as well. I asked if he wanted to drive , he responded oh no no no I never like driving other people's cars... I took another lap and he stopped again and said I can I try lol. Took him a lap correct nose dive and he too was laying down laps. He is not a racer , doesn't drive shortcourse , and now he wants a tekno after 4 laps. It's amazing how easy this truck is to drive fast. I have had 4-5 of these experiences where people stop and want to try, everyone loves it and lays down laps right away. 5 weeks with this truck and not a single issue. Season opener at RC Madness this Sunday... Get there

What's the odds of the truck pushing you to buy the EB48??
