Tekno ET48 Thread
#2806
Ok, so I have been reading through this thread and am starting to get an irrational desire to buy one of these.
1. From what I gather, I would need a servo with at least 300oz of torque. Anybody have the Protek 170S?
2. it seems a lot of people like 2000kv truggy motor, but I have a 1900kv T8 buggy motor. I would be using 4s batteries. Will this be a good enough motor with an RX-8?

A longer screw. the stock screw is a M4x10mm (TKR1443 on step L-3 page 18 of the manual). This only leaves a tiny bit of thread left in the case and the team is pretty sure this is causing it to break.
Many of us run a M4x14mm. I noticed it almost pops into the rear case but still clears everything. May want to try a M4x12mm if 14 makes you un easy.

Other than that I think most are running more like 15-20-5 in the diffs vs. stock, otherwise handles great out of the box and then tuning for personal pref from there.
I personally took a few turns of droop out of the front and stood up the shocks in the rear a bit to tune out some push exiting turns, but otherwise still running stock.

I have a couple of cracks but otherwise is ok after 2 race days. I definitely need to tape and goo it to last, but using Velcro on the bottom forgoing the clips has helped a lot. That lets the body be supported from the bottom and has a little more give.

I just bought a one race old ET48 from a friend of mine. Got a smoking deal on it RTR with 4- new 4s batteries. It has a 1700kv Tekin truggy motor on it with a Gen2 RX8. Has anyone else ran this motor? My other truggy which is a non Tekno I'm running a 1550kv motor on 5s and get 17 1/2 minutes run time. What kind of run time would I be looking at with the 1700kv? Just wondering in case I have to run with the nitros and might need to make a battery swap.

I used the 7200 x 2 in practice for 34min !! In the main I did 3 practice laps and the 20min easy. The next day they ran for another 4 minutes on the stand.
