Yes it is. I think it's even more fun than e-buggy. I sure wish the class would take off at Revelations. Hopefully your new product will renew some interest in e-Truggy. Looking forward to it.

+1. Soooo much fun to drive an e-truggy. Feels like bashing and driving at the same time because of the insane lines you can take. Hopefully, this car can spark some more interest in this class.

With such the loyal following Tekno has, especially in their hometown, we might be able to find some consistent e-truggy racing at CVRC in our near future.

I'd love to see this take off at NorCal. I know there is 1 running already (joining Nitro races when they can) and another conversion to eTruggy waiting to happen if the class takes off.

I am thinking about getting one of these bad boys when they come out!! Just wondering if you guys had any info on hobby wing xerun motor-esc combos?? If so what combo would you recomend? Also I have a castle 2650 in my buggy would I be better off putting that in my truggy and getting like a 1800 or 2000 for my buggy? I would like to stay fairl ay cheaper on this so I really like the price of the xerun. I will also be running on 4s since I already have a few batteries for my other car. Any info or suggestions would be aprreciated

As of right now it will be using the same spindles as the buggy, so 8x14mm bearings on the outside. There shouldn't be an issue with durability as the stub axle is also supported by a 13x9mm bearing on the inside with 15mm of space between the two bearing faces.

I guess it might be finally time to retire my poor old converted xray truggy...

But fall release is bad timing. Wont be anywhere to run it around here till spring outdoor season.

Let me know if you need any help testing the prototypes this year!! LOL.
