Hi all, so I finally started the build on my ET48. Looking forward to exchange tips and tricks as well as best setups and practices for the tekno 8th scale truggy.
As always I am taking the build slow and really enjoying it.
My plan is to build it as a racer thought it will probably see more bashing than racing.
Upgrades so far are the aluminum rear drive shaft, aluminum center diff mount and the tini shock shafts and delrin cartridges. And of course the aluminum servo horn.
All surplus parts of this kit will be recycled into a future DB48 project out of a quite rolled sct410.
I have the m2c long rear chassis brace but I haven't made up my mind yet if to throw it into the et or keep it for the db. I wouldn't mind some extra weight to the rear, though I haven't actually compared their weights.
I am tempted with the idea of machining a set of custom carbon fiber braces but Ill see about that later on.
Electronics are; Tekin RX8gen3 with 2250kv motor and Protek 170TBL servo (for a racer I might have gone with the SBL but had other plans at that moment).
Ill be running a Protek 4S HV LiPo 6500 120C and starting out with a 16t pinion and the arrma Katar 6s tires.
Below some pics to where I am so far in the build. Looking forward to hear any opinions and suggestions !!
For example would this motor pinion combination be a good starting point or should I consider lowering the teeth count ? Spur is the stock 44t composite.
Best to all
