I got to drive a couple laps with the et48 with the box setup. The truck drove very nicely
I think the spring may have been a little too soft for out track, but it wasn't bad at all. Between the truck I drove and mullets, I noticed they both had some minor setup differences in the hinge pin insets I.e. orientation. The one I drove had a lot of turn in and pushed a little on exit. I believe it could easily be tuned to get a linear stable steering feel...... I wouldn't say it drives revolutionary, but it should definitely be considered by anyone who is looking to buy an e truggy. If I were to buy a new truggy, this would be the one for sure.

Mines together just a few minor details and a wheel alignment and it's ready for the track. I did find one problem, this rig is designed for low kv motors, high kv won't work. I wanted to run one of the old Castle 1600 or 1800kv motors but there isn't enough room. So while I'm deciding on which way to go I put a Castle 2200 in just to get it rolling. The smallest pinion I can use is 14t without grinding on a brand new motor mount and that's not going to happen. If my calculations are close a 14t pinion will be about 45 mph with a 4s battery. That's a recipe for high temps. Looks like I'll end up using my Tekin 2000kv truggy motor. I wanted to go old school but I bought a truggy from a bunch of modern designers! LOL By the way Tekno, your kits are awesome. So fun to put together a kit without needing modifying skills.
He's my thoughts on your next kit, take an eb48 and shrink it to 1/10 scale. I would buy a 4wd 1/10 buggy in a heartbeat and I'll bet I'm not the only one. Little bird told me the next Tekno kit will be a 2wd sct, boo hiss!!!

What track do you guys race at? I use to live in Austin and travel back through a couple of times a year. I quit the hobby before I moved out to Texas and never found out how big off road rc racing was there until after I left. Saw a nice track in Katy Texas back in August.

Ran my et48 again last night did a few more changes and it was ridiculously fast had to run with ebuggies last night on a indoor track and this thing turned tighter and held a line better than any buggy out there and was a full lap or more ahead of all the buggies by the end
