Hi everyone,
Just a heads up regarding our New Aluminum Stub Axles:

The Tekno RC Aluminum Stub Axles (Part #TKR5070A) are designed to reduce rotating mass as well as unsprung weight without sacrificing strength or durability. After undergoing several months of race proven testing, they meet our high standards for toughness and performance. CNC Machined from 7075 aluminum, then hard anodized for wear, they provide a weight reduction of over 12 grams per pair (over 24 grams for the whole set!). They are a direct replacement for the stock steel stub axles (TKR5070).
Features:
Thank you for your support!

Features:
- 24.4 gram rotating mass reduction.
- Slightly improved fuel mileage.
- Increased suspension efficiency by cutting unsprung weight.
- Three locations for CVA pin placement, extending product life and value.
- Use with the Tekno RC NB48.3, NT48.3, EB48.3 , ET48.3 and previous generation vehicles.
Thank you for your support!

Just got my hands on a new ET48.3 truggy. I have searched and read every thread about which servo to get. I have always ran Savox servos in all my 1/8th scale buggies without any problems, other than being noisy. Ok, which servo do you guys recommend now. Please be specific, brand and model number, and why.
Thanks in advance

I started running Savox brushless servos 2274, 2273 and even 2270 because they were mid price range, but had good specs and have been very reliable to me. The 2270 is a little slow for me so I wanted to swap out.
Tried Radiopost 5005S. One was bad out the box. Stripped gears on steering on EB an NB on first race day. Great customer support from Amain, swapped out for Protek 150T because I had no problems with it in NT.
Protek 150T has similar speed specs to Savox 2274, but more torque. We will see how they hold up.
Savox has been very reliable (never had one fail) and works well, just wanted to try something else. Hopefully the Proteks hold up for 3 years too.

Ok, my Truggy Gurus......I am planning on running a Tekin RX8 with a 1350Kv motor on SMC 6V 4300mah. I always wanted to run 6V in my buggy but didn't because of ROAR. I do not plan on running ROAR with the Truggy. I hope this will be a good combination. What pinion do you guys recommend? The track I will be running , Thornhill, is the largest track in North America.
