And here I thought it was about how long it lasted for those big events.

I'm really interested in seeing what Tekno comes up with as far as a body is concerned for the new ET48. I would also like to see the bodies for the new NB and NT48's as well. Fall is right around the corner, but yet It seems so far away.

Will the hinge pins be beefed up from the Eb48?

Hinge pins are the same, are you having issues with them on your buggy or SC?

They're not a problem on the sct. The e-buggy i've bent a few on some hard hits that were totally my fault. I have to agree it wouldn't be a bad idea to beef them up on a truggy with all that extra mass towards the outside of the vehicle.

No not really, not enough to DNF anyway. But with the tough arms they are the weak link. Mine often have a little bend to them when I pull them out (month or so of racing) but it is all driver error.

On the EB48

I would also like to see a thin body that hugs the chassi. It will fly much better and stand out in a crowd.

Still not sure what we're doing with the body (share with NT or specific to ET).

You made your name with a specific no compromise electic buggy. I would do the same for the ET48. But if you make a wide body I would think wider mud guards would make for a much cleaner look than some bolt on filler piece.

Exactly, even down to the body. People see the buggy sitting in pit row as we're waiting to race and say "what is that???"

Don't go crazy, but I would go different. If people want to strap on the "one fits all truggy" bodies, they can.
