You could swap in the buggy ring and pinion to get a little more top end as well
Also for speed runs you can definitely go to a higher kv motor if you have one, 2200kv on 6s is not a problem.

well so an update on my ET48... after posting on the previous page about my spur holding up so great... it appears a rock has got inside and totally munched my composite spur on my last run...

also, both stock front drive shafts have now broken at the exact same spot (left and right) but Tekno were awesome and have mailed we some replacements... backs seem to be holding up fine though... the replacements so far have had zero issues

currently im running an rx8/t8 2000 combo with 15 tooth on 5s maxamps 5450 and temps are basically ambient after a 20 min bash session. man this drive line is so smooth i love this thing to bits!!!!!!

I guess we spoke too soon, LoL!

You know, I thought of trying my 2250kv and I thought I did some calculations but obliviously not cause I just got done punching everything into R/C gear calculator and with the 2250kv and 25T pinion will give me about 123mph.

Thanks Matthew

Any reason why this USB cable wouldn't work for my android with hotwire? I plug it in and just it just says hotwire is not connected. Heard some talk about some special USB spec it has to be, but wasn't sure what it was.

Just incase you didnt get your answer tho....

The cable needs to be a otg cable in order to power the Hotwire. The 2.0 don't need it and can pull power from the RX8, but I'd prefer not to.

Here is a good cable to use: http://amzn.com/B00BFYH11Q

Is there much of a felt difference when using saddle packs vs. square packs? I know shorties will handle differently, but if saddles and squares are the same I wanted to test out the feel with a couple of Orion saddles I have left over form the SC10 4x4 before buying a square.

Steering servo... any favorites out there? My JR is going on me (having a hard time finding neutral). I would like to have a good performing servo - but even more importantly I would like to find a company that has excellent customer service/warranty for their products.

Thanks!

looking for a good servo for my truggy, any recomandations?

Check the servo in my sig. I'm liking the high voltage savox stuff in both etruggy and ebuggy.

I have a ProTek 170S in my truggy. I only have a few packs through it so I can't speak to its durability. I have a Spektrum 6090 (at 7.4V) in my SCT and a Spektrum 6100 in my EB48. The Spektrums have been used for a couple of years now and have performed very well.

I will be running at a hard packed indoor track with and without dust. It's a large track free flowing with I would say medium traction. What diff weights have become popular on these track conditions.

Man, i got to finally try out my ET48 after 3 months of rainouts. What a blast. I just practiced because no truggies showed up but it was still a dream to drive.

has any one had troubles with your rear end of your et48 kicking up on jumps and want to nose dive
and what did you do to fix it
