Thanks for the info also wanted to say kudos to you guys i purchase a new 1700 kv motor and the sensor wire broke you guys shipped one right away , way to go , Tekin is awesome thank you .

Thank you Mathew.

Anyone have any idea when there will be more bodies made for this truggy??

on the first thread under steering mods it mentions a aluminium acerman plate. Is the one that comes in the kit not aluminum?

It is aluminum, SCT one is Plastic

Cool. im trying to get everything together for the build and if there are cheap upgrades-necessary things to do i will do them. is there anything i need to know about the build or anything extra to get? its a fresh kit from tekno just so you know.
Also what is the best bang for your buck battery for racing? tekin esc 2000kv motor

smc batteries all the way!

I'm loving the 1350kv on 6s Randy!!!!

SMC!

I'm thinking of building an et48 truggy and wanted to know what servo is good . I'm putting a tekin 2250 rx8 motor and esc. Are there any suggestions of things I should change ?

Hey. Im not 100% if my diffs works ideal. When I rotate one wheels its hrum hrum, but not binding or scratching. It runs freely. Should I change gear mesh?
And... In one of the diffs I had a problem. I was trying to put second shim (while putting to gearbox) about 3hours and no. Should I change it and try again?

I only use one shim on the one side

I just recently built my ET48 and it was, quite frankly, one of the easiest builds of all the RC's I've had the joy and pain of building. It's a very straight forward build. Hopefully, you have or will receive a kit with the newer replacement shims as mine did. Try 2 first and if it is tight or you're not able to get both to fit, use only one. The diffs are butter smooth.

As for servos, if $$$ is no object, the Hitec HS-7950TH is hard to beat: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002NM...=AC_SY200_QL40

If you're on a budget, try a Solar D772 servo: http://www.hobbypartz.com/33p-solarservo-d772.html

With either of these servos, I'd suggest picking up one of these to ensure your servo gets the optimal voltage while easing the load on your receiver yielding the best performance from whatever servo you choose: http://www.amain.com/spektrum-voltage-protector/p6570

I'm using both servos and the voltage protector in various places 1/8 scale applications with great success. My ET48 currently has the D772 and I can't tell the difference between it and the Hitec.

Just placed the order for mine. I'm still debating on going with the Tekin 2000kv truggy motor or the Tekin 1900kv buggy motor. Any opinions?

Mike you are running a truggy get the truggy motor the 1900 is a buggy motor the truggy motors are design for heavier vehicles like the truggy , also it will run cooler 2000 will be awesome on the ET 48 i run a 1700 truggy motor and is more then enough power for me , what i like about the 1700 you get the obtion of running 4s or 5s but you need to gear accordingly always check your temps as you dont want run the motors no more then 180 i usually run about 140 160 depending on gearing also the buggy motor will run hot on a truggy unless you are running way under gear but how fun will that be LOL i like to go fast on big tracks mostly out door but on a small track you need to gear way down , good luck on what ever kv you decide
