I have a question for you egobrkr. I have owned the 410 and the eb48 and like you I wasn't to happy with the aggressiveness of the buggy. That is why I sold it to buy an xray xb9e. Now i am getting out of the 4x4 class because of a number of reasons and I intend to get an e truggy. I am looking very hard at the mbx6t and then converting it, but apparently arms break frequently which is the only reason I havent ordered it yet. Have you had that problem with your mugen buggy?

I don't have an issue with you guys asking me mugen questions or mugen vs tekno questions. I would rather you pm me your questions. I dont want to clog up the tekno thread with mugen stuff. So please pm me your questions or post in the mugen mbx6 eco thread or mbx6t eco thread. Thanks guys.

The eb48 and et48 do drive very aggressive which can be hard for club level drivers to run however they can be tuned out of the vehicle I'm in the process of working out a less aggressive setup for both I've spent more time with my sct410 than my other 2 so they've been kind of been neglected as far as setup goes but I will say when I find the setup to make this buggy and truggy less aggressive I will probably miss the aggressiveness and go back nothing better than knowing you can take the inside line away because you have the more aggressive setup....... however I often wonder if sometimes we mistake aggressive setup for possibly over driving a much lighter kit myself included

The edgy, twitchy and aggressiveness is part of the design of the buggy. You can take the aggressive out but it really dumb's down the buggy too much. I say go with a different buggy and not make the EB and ET into what it's not. Just my opinion.

No ET48, but assume the same holds true.

Not sure I agree with that statement, it's quite the opposite. Most would kill to get their e-buggy as aggressive as the EB48. You can always dial that back a bit, but you can't force a lazy brand buggy to necessary be aggressive. Tekno can do both, others can't. It's a "feature" not a hindrance IMO. That is one of the truly great things about their design.

I didn't find the ET to be edgy at all. In fact the stock setup to me was very lazy. I had to make a lot of changes to make it turn and rotate the way I like and when I got it to that point it is still easy to drive fast IMHO.
