Tekno ET48 2.0 Basher Build

[HZRDOS]

Have all electronics here ready. Just ordered some M2C bits, the rig, and some Tekno upgrades. Figured would do a kit build thread. Should be fun!! Will be my 2nd Tekno kit build.

IDK, do you want a Camaro or a Corvette? Kinda how I see the difference. I like my Corally, but it ain't no Tekno, LOL.

I want the sct!!

Can’t wait to see the build , if any Arrma fans like a Talion , this will be the Swiss watch of it !

 

[HZRDOS]

Well....not much work going to get done in the next week now. My office is about to become build garage. Haha

 

[HZRDOS]

Getting started. I purchased an optional part for the center diff. Still a plastic cup, but Tekno lists it as having less slip under power. Little bit different. Stock is on the right.

Went with 100k center, 50k front, 20k rear. Optional steel spur of course.

Can’t wait to see a running video , gonna be an awesome truck !!!

 

[HZRDOS]

With all my builds, I always skip to the shocks as the second step. First step is always diffs. These are the 2 boring parts of kits that I don't enjoy as much as the rest, so it is good to have all the not as fun parts done first.

 

[HZRDOS]

Getting there.

Man I love these Tekno kits. The fit and tolerances are so awesome!

 

[HZRDOS]

Finally starting to look like a rig!

That is a nice ride !!!! Looks like some good quality stuff !!

Thanks. I have built a few different manufacturers kits, but I love the Tekno by far. This is my second Tekno kit build.

 

[HZRDOS]

Almost done. Still waiting on Caslte direct connect cable, then need to program the motor and finish up the wires. Also waiting on some new tires.

 

[HZRDOS]

All programmed and buttoned up. Wire management done, just need some tires. May have to throw on a set of my spares tomorrow just to give her a quick test rip....but really wanted to get a few pics with everything new before first run including tires...hmmm....will sleep on it.

Finally got a chance to do a maiden run. Man this thing is soooo easy to drive fast. Handles beautifully. Used to hate how my MT410 would 180 on you in high speed turns, not this thing. Very predictable.

Looks very similar to the difference between the Arrma LSD and BLX diffs. Did it come with different plates?
Very cool rig, man! I’ve never tried a Tekno (although I’m pretty much married to their drive cups, gears, axles, etc.) but I’ve heard many times that they’re about the best truck out there.

Only used a 4s pack. No need for 6s with this thing, so doubt I will ever even try a 6s pack.

They are open diffs, no LSD. Have never had an issue with a Tekno diff, they are pretty well built.

They are such a fun truck to build. I am always happy and sad at the same time when I complete the builds. Lol. Tekno handles much better than any other rigs I have. I also bash with Arrma, Losi, Axial, and used to have a Corally.

I hear that!! Can't wait to finish so you can rip!! Then sad the build is over,LOL.
I have no regerts about stretching my MT410 to an ET48 chassis.. I just wasn't using the MT as a stunt truck anymore, and yeah, it'll step out so fast at speed it's hard to handle..
I agree, 4s is PLENTY with these things! I have a TC 6s combo in mine.
Sweet build bud!!
