    SCT410.3 converted to Mini MT410 Basher???

    I have a brand new SCT 410.3 Kit that I would like to turn into a mini MT10, with mx28 badlands. I’m a rookie at building kits but I want something almost exact to the TX’s Tek Custom Rcs build with the wide stance look, and tires outside of the body. What parts do I need to complete this...

    Waterproof motor & ESC for ET48.3

    Hi All. I'm a newbie and I've got my new ET48.3 up and running and love it! I used the old electronics (MXL-6s and 2200kV motor) from my ERevo Brushless Gen1 and I'm using a 15T pinion. I run 90% of the time in the backyard grass on a course that we setup. So the vehicle is running hard...

    Incident: loss of radio control

    Hi all, I had an incident today with my ET48.3 that scared the s... out of me. I was very gently bashing the Truggy at the park with my kid. Doing gentle jumps on the ramp, nothing crazy. The radio suddenly stops responding and the Truggy goes straight (probable 50% throttle) until it gets...

    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...

    48.3 ET48.3 ready for action

    I am very pleased with the quality of this kit. It is an absolute blast to drive. I am still getting used to the flight characteristics, most notably brake drag and throttle control. It likes to nose dive off throttle and I already paid dearly for it! I am using a Tekin G3 T8 2000kv motor and...

    Pics of my new et48.3...

    Finally pulled the trigger on a Tekno truggy and new supporting gear. I've been going back and forth between the et and mt for a while, but decided that because I do a lot of on road driving the stability of the et would be better. Plus it comes with a lot of the stuff I would have bought had I...

    To those running universals...

    I finished building my ET48.3 a couple days ago, but I noticed that the rear wheels have quite a bit of play or slop in them. I did build it with the optional universals so the rear inner hub bearing is different and much closer to the outer one. Just wondering if this is normal.

    48.3 My “Joker” build

    Not really a build thread, more of a tear down and rebuild thread. I travel for work a bit and I found this in a LHS on a shelf of consignment items while traveling in NC...it was dusty and the shell was a little beat up, but it had some descent Sweep tires and the chassis wasn’t too rough. I...

    48.3 Slevin’s Tekno ET48.3 Build

    So I just purchased the Tekno ET48.3 kit. I’m pretty excited. It will be a long process. I’m hoping by end of year I’ll have everything to get it running. Maybe sooner. Along with the kit, I purchased the Arrma Dboot Backflip tires/wheels and the Tekno shock tool. I’ll be painting the body gun...

    I recently received my new kit from Tower. I haven't cracked the box open yet. While I'm waiting to start the build, is there any upgrade that I could purchase that you would consider either mandatory, or highly recommended?
