    Does anyone use a Beta wing on their ET48?

    Just got a Beta RC wing to try on the Truggy, has anyone else used them and got any views? https://www.rprcdistribution.com/product-page/be1003-beta-plastic-wing-white When I've seen the Pros using them I'm sure they have holes drilled in them, but there're no markings on the wing or info about...

    I've been really happy with my ET48 2.0, but I want to build another Tekno kit for racing or as a basher?

    What are your thoughts on building a second Tekno ET48 2.0 as a basher so I can keep my Race prep one dedicated for that, or should I build an ET410 as a second race car? I'm not sure if there is any class for this in Australia and I'm worried about what tyres they use? Any advice would be...

    Tekno Hardened Steel Diff Case

    If you are running 6s LiPo batteries through your Tekno RC then you’ll certainly be happy to hear about the newly released Tekno hardened steel differential case. The Tekno hardened steel diff is CNC machined from steel and hardened to handle the extreme punishment coming for a huge brushless...

    ET48 POS bumper. Anyone have this installed?

    Does anyone have the POS modelbau front bumper for the ET48? I have crashed my ET48.3 twice now into a tree and both times have resulted in it breaking! (No surprise) I am looking at purchasing a front bumper for it and would prefer anything other than a t-bone bumper because I live in the UK...

    Tekno 1/8 drivetrain durability/wear rate compared to Arrma

    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...

    Shock settings for big air

    Hi all, I love how well my ET48 handles out of the box (built per the manual, everything stock). However, that setup is largely for racing, and the only thing I do is bashing. In particular, I like big air (about 10-15 feet high). Currently I get a lot of chassis slap, particularly on...

    ET48 street on-road tires

    Hey all What tires do you like for on-road and street use? Anyone using the Arrma Kraton tires? Those are about 6.3in in diameter. I have the Outcast tires for off-road use and they are pretty good. They are just a bit tall (I think 6.8in) which creates a slight gearing issue but other than...

    Largest spur et48?

    New to the et48 and trying to get a slightly larger steel spur gear. Can anyone tell me that highest tooth count that will fit? I am running pretty large tires and I am not able to gear down as much as I’d like. I figure making the spur a little bigger will help. The motor mount doesn’t slide...

    My new kit and extras showed up this morning!!

    So this is my first Tekno kit after building and running RC since I got a Frog in middle school in the late 80's. Like everyone pretty much says, the quality and fit and finish is super. Probably the only company I can say might be equal to it would be the higher end Kyosho stuff. I've had a...

    ET48 monster truck “semi-conversion”

    I have an ET48.2 Truggy. I don’t want to do an actual conversion to a MT410. However I do want to take it from a track car to a Basher. I put proline shockwave monster truck tires and dropped the pinion from 14T to 13T. I’m going to swap the center diff oil to 100K. What other quick and easy...

    Tires for 6s onroad speed runs

    Hi guys! I just purchased an et48.3, and I'm extremely excited to add it to my MT410. I want to use this one to dabble in some speed runs. What tires would you recommend for 6s onroad speed runs? Also, any other tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    48.3 My first track casualty

    I was just enjoying a nice afternoon at the track (instead of being at work). Perks of getting the boss into rc too LOL! Well wouldn’t you know if I hit a landing wrong and cartwheeled and boom. Thankfully the lhs at the track stocks tekno parts so I was able to fix and get back out there.

    ET48.4 speculation

    So I am about to purchase an ET48.3, hopefully Friday, and I am wondering if/when a version 4 will be released. Has anyone heard any rumors or speculating any sort of release? I'm not familiar with what the differences were between v1 through v3 and if the upgrades were costly or not. I'm...

    Shocks interchangeable?

    I’m wondering if the ET48.3 and ET48.4 shocks are interchangeable? Does the vented cap make a big difference and if need be could I just change the caps to fit if needed? I’m trying to find the 48.3 shocks online and haven’t had any luck. Thanks in advance for any help given.

    Universal Driveshafts vs. CVD

    I was looking around this morning for info on motors and the kv I will choose for my et48 when I ran across Universal Driveshafts. Does anyone use these, I'm sure racers will, but what about bashers? For now I am basher only with trips to the track for fun, I would love to race but the guys I...

    48.3 Differential cases

    I come to those who have done his before as this is my first time building this amazing machine. I am just starting to finally build it. I bought the m2c racing dif cases and the center is fine and the rear is fine, however when I built the front dif and screwed it together it’s locked up tight...

    ET48 Dust Cover

    So as I drive my ET and Kraton side by side, I notice how much less crap is in the chassis on the Kraton versus the ET when I’m done. Arrma really did a good job of designing those front guards. They do a great job of keeping crap out of the chassis. Anyway, I want to start using a dust cover...
