Got back into RC at the beginning of Covid, ended up with a Kraton, Losi Tenacity DB Pro, and built an LC Racing EMB-T.
$100's sunk into the Kraton in small upgrades, repairs, etc. and started looking for a better option.
It has been great fun, but after building the EMB, realized benefits of building somethign up from the ground, kept landing back on Tekno.
Saw the 2.0 platform for NB/EB and figured Id wait for it to trickle down to MT or ET, thought some of the features would translate nicely to a good backyard basher.
Plan to sell the Kraton on... probably.
Preordered the ET48 2.0 Kit from A-Main today.
CURRENT PARTS:
Servo: Racerstar CLS7346HV - Trying a Banggood special (already have a couple aluminum horns)
Tires: dBoots Backflip 6s' - I'm pretty sold on these, love them on Kraton and Outcast
ESC: I have a Firma 150 with only a few batteries through it probably will reuse (currently all electronics are Spektrum)
Batteries: All Spektrum batteries, all 3/6s 50-100C
PENDING PARTS:
Motor: Was thinking of sticking with Spektrum, get the Firma 2050 motor with heatsink and fan. Has held up well in kraton, but open to suggestions
Rx: Spektrum RX6100AT - Has been reliable in the other cars, has telemetry and smart whatever the heck that i dont use atm but...
Spur Gear: Tekno Hardened Steel spur gear, doesnt look like they make a lightened one yet.
Pinion: Tekno M5 Hardened mod1 16t - seems like a good place to start
Wheel Hubs: TKR5071C - lightened +2mm offset - read the offsets are necessary for MT wheels?
Diff Weight: Kraton I have been putting in 500-1mil, or earplugs in Center, 100 - 300 F/R weights. Seems far heavier than what EB/ET comes with and recommends.
Hoping to get recommendations on anything might be missing, or overlooking.
General suggestions are also welcomed.
Thanks!
