Looks nice!!
My only issue with the tekno buggies...why do they used the worse looking bodies I have ever seen? Lol. I know that is an easy cheap thing to change...but still.

The ET48.3 has been out of production for almost a year now some people may unload the old et to go with the new 2.0 platform.
That's what I'm hoping for.

I can relate to you’re opinion but I personally like the body I was surprised how thin the new body is it’s 0.40 millimeter and a kraton body is 0.80 millimeter.
Love racing vehicles! Too bad its not Nitro

Very cool. I want one but wouldn’t race it. Did you buy it for racing or general off-road/bashing?

Anything will break if you drive it wrong enough.

Looking at the chassis it looks like there is plenty of room for the esc behind the motor.

Yes there is picture is of a max8 you could fit a max6 or castle I bought this esc for my custom ground up kraton but it don’t like the 4092. With the tekno I’ll probably stick to a traditional 1/8 scale can as to not kill the weight and the way the wires run out the side of the esc is perfect for the Tekno. There is one left on eBay that’s where I got it with free shipping um still in shock I finally got one. It weighs 8.8 lb no batteries and 10.4 with two 3s power hobby 5200 mah 50c only thing I don’t have on it are the side guards and center diff waiting on steel spur.First time I painted a body .

Was not trying to bash your ride....by all means it is awesome! Just the bodies are not my style. May sound silly since they are RC....but they just make me think of a robot for some reason. Haha

I didn’t take any offense to it that’s what JQ says Teknos fuglafication of the truggy body. You can very easily fit any 1/8 scale truggy body to it they have provisions in the tower already to do so it’s a race car and they claim it’s faster than a traditional body but I love it just like I like arrmas body on it which could be fit easily.
One thing I don’t understand servo mount guess that’s where the extra space for the esc came from I would hate to have my wires like this on a expensive servo.

I love your build mate!
I've got one in transit it should arrive on Monday. I'm looking forward to the build, and I love the body design too. It's been a few years I've wanted a Tekno or XRay truggy, but the new design really parked my interest so I ordered one.
I will be setting mine up slightly more as a basher, but first I'll be testing it out at the track I race casually at. I've got the Castle Mamba Monster X 8s and 1520 1650KV combo for it, the MMX8s is a really light esc for the power it can handle, but the motor is pretty big, I hope I can fit it in ok.

I want to use this same combo. How did it fit? Do you have any build pics?

It fits, though the radio box had to be mounted where the esc would normally go, the esc goes where radio box would normally go.
The biggest issue I have is the battery tray design and the fact you are quite limited with the size and shape of the battery on the chassis due to the center diff mount design.
It is a beautiful kit to build and the parts are high quality with fantastic hardware.
