Hello,
I'm new to the forum and just building my first Tekno, the ET48 2.0
The truggy will be a basher and will mostly be run on BMX tracks.
For the electronics, I choose Hobbywing EzRun MAX8 G2 ESC, Hobbywing EzRun
Car will be run on 4S LiPo and with Pro-Line Badlands 3.8in tires mounted on Raid 8x32 wheels.
Upgrades, that will stiffen the car and make it a better basher:
- Aluminum front top plate
- Aluminum center brace
- Aluminum rear brace
- Aluminum rear support mount
- Aluminum rear skid plate
- Front 4mm bumper
- Hardened steel spur gear (TKR9117)
- Stiffer shock springs - orange (TKR6093 & TKR6083)
- Aluminum servo horn (TKR5253B)
- Lexan rear arm mud guards (TKR9433)
At the moment, I finished with Bag K and am now moving to front shocks with bag L.
For the diff fluid, I choose 60k front, 200k center & 30k rear.
Everything went together really good except I had to be really strong to get all the M3 & M4 screws in by hand into the plastics of the front and rear gearboxes and my hands still hurt after a few days
And there was one thing I F* up.... I forgot to mount the small front bumper before tightening the screw and tighten the screw all the way without the bumper, which caused the screw to go through the plastic hitting the other small screw for the gearbox cover, which then tore apart the mount for the small screw... I then bent the torn plastic back and glued it with CA. The small screw could then be screwed in without a problem.
Here are some pictures of the car in the current stage (finished with bag K):
