Front and rear SC bumpers if you wanted those.

Just finished building mine and of course its raining. I have a few tekno eb48.2 buggies I bought used, so this was my first kit to build it took a while with just hand tools. I will be investing in some sort of power tool for my next build my hands hurt haha. I did a quick test run and its a wheelie machine for sure can't wait for it to dry up. I mostly drive on my backyard track I think this truck will be perfect for it, its very rough with big jumps and the grass around it is thick if you go off track. Plus sometimes I get bored and just try to jump whatever looks possible haha
Setup:

Castle mamba monster 2200kv with a HW SCT Pro ESC

SMC 4s 6700mah battery

18t pinion

80k80k50k in the diffs

Proline 3.8 badland tires

Proline Ram 1500 body

Hitec 7955 servo

Same thing i said on my first build.."boy do my hands hurt." I now use a low power drill, so i don't strip any hexes.

Got mine done and put a pack thru it today. Pretty much exactly what Iwas expecting on this build. Trying to get a feel for the truck in this one so nothing too crazy yet

Looks good Pauly.

Thanks buddy.

I just realized that the folks here are quite a bit different from those on the race Tekno threads, so this may not have been seen yet by many of you. I did a series of build tips/tricks when I built my ET48.3 last year, but pretty much everything here applies to every Tekno 8th scale on the market. Hope these help somebody in the build process!

WTPauly was trying to get me into a ET48.3 and i found your vids from posts in the other threads. While i am not a new builder i always try to learn something. Your vids are very precise, good angles, lighting and great explanation on what you are trying to teach or show. I took a few key points on link building for instance and applied it to my MT410 build. Someone that says they already know and can't learn something new even if minor is kidding themselves. I, for one thank you for your instructional vids.

I tried a 15T pinion. WAY more controllable on the wheelies

Good to hear. What was the temp difference on the motor, esc etc?

Super busy at work for end of the year so it's been a 5min here, 10min there build. Getting there slowly but surely.

Didn't it run it long enough

Well mine is built and ready to do some really silly stuff this weekend, maybe some track racing too, I have the tekin rx8 esc with a smc 1900kv motor running a 16 pinion at present, Huge thanks to the guys at Tekno Australia ( Coast2Coastrc ) for hooking me up with this package, stay tuned for some crazy videos, here is a small 1 minute teaser

Well the body is panted, time to hit the pavement, grass, dirt, what ever I can find I guess

Nice Paint work.
I go with the Badlands 3,8.
