Here is my experience from one year ago, Truggy still running strong.
I got a used Truggy for $650 (shipping included):
From there:
- it was an "ok" Truggy, not super fresh, not beat up either. I bash / race in parks with friends and do not need a fresh build
- Maintained by a racer with what seemed a good schedule. Diffs were all filled, bearings were smooth and outdrives / shafts neither weared out nor bent.
- ET48.3 + Tekin RX8 Gen3 + Tekin T8 2000kv Gen 2 + Savox servo + 4 x Backflips + wing = $650
Very happy with my purchase. Love the way it handles and the bashability of the beast. I alternatively race it with my EB48.4. Always take both to the track.
- I added a body and then an unbreakable body. It doesn't look good, but sustains the weekly torture
- Dumped the Backflips really quick and got the Backflips LP (4s version) who are a lot better IMO for this Truggy. Now I only run race Truggy wheels and love the way they handle.
- Tried the full m2c bracing thing and went back to a more racing configuration with a bit of flex. Now only running the m2c chassis (not the wide one) with plastic braces and find it a really good compromise performance / durability.
- Added Sanwa MT-S (very nice) + Rx with internal antenna
- I wasn't sure about the Tekin stuff, initially thought it would be too fancy for bashing. All electronics still running strong one year later!
Considering selling all the M2C goodies I have for the ET48.3.
Thanks for the info....so you don't race your ET48.3 at the tracks? Nice setup, however I am looking for a roller or slider hence my question on a reasonable price for a roller. My spare electronics are similar to what you have on your ET. Prices for the ET sure seems to be a lot higher than the EB48s....don't know enough about the ET to know why pricing is the way it is.
Rollers usually go for around $350.
This is true, but only for ones in great condition. Do not pay this much if it has a lot of wear or is not well kept. You can get a good condition used ET48.3 roller for around $300. $350 should be great & clean.Rollers usually go for around $350.
