I currently have an Arrma Talion V3 and am looking for a car that is better quality and more precisely made.
I am interested in the ET48.3 specifically. One of my main issues with the Talion is how quickly the drivetrain wears out.
Every few weeks/few dozen runs I have to replace diff outdrives, driveshafts (mostly centre) and input cups for the diffs. This cost quite a lot of money as a complete refresh of these parts costs £118!
The car is slightly modified including a Hobbywing MAX8 and a Hobbystar 4082 1600kv running 20t pinion and stock katar tyres.
Punch is set to 2/5 and I drive on grass.
My question is, do the Tekno 1/8 scales have better drivetrains in terms of wear rate? The Arrma drivetrain has never broken on me it just wears out. Because a Tekno kit is so expensive I want to know if it will be cheaper to run due to not having to replace parts as often.
I would really appreciate your response on this.
