I pray Kevin never gets this truggy. He doesn’t deserve such a finely engineered piece of art like this and I can’t bear to see him destroy it. Great work guys.
Wow! Memorizing drone footage. I didn't think I wanted or needed a Tekno but now I don't know where I would draw that line after this video. Awesome content! Definitely deserve more subs!
I know a guy that has one and he says it hadles like no other racing but is not as tuff for harder bashing compared to his arrma talion. so what makes the tekno so good at handling ? these cars look awsome..@@HardcoreRC
The Prior Tekno truggies were tougher than Arrma cars with a little bit of M2C love to remove the flex from the chassis, but M2C havent really dont as much for the 48 2.0 Any racing Truggy will be quicker and handle better than bashing rigs, just they way they are built, how the shocks are set up, how the chassis flexes, where the centre of gravity is, how much lighter they are etc etc etc
I was 100% didnt like the body, but now i have seen it in the flesh, and seen how it stands out and drives i 100% love the body. Thanks for the complements on Cullum's driving 👍
I’ve been running my ET48 2.0 for a while. I commented a while back your video made me decide to get one. Great truck my favourite and go to I think in the collection. The only thing, I can’t decide if I like truggy tires on it for bashing (Duratrax x-cons) or the Arrma Bakflip LP. I have both sets. It’s a bit heavier with the bakflips but not a lot. I did install the M2C bashing chassis as well. Great video and channel I watch all your stuff. thanks again 👋🇨🇦
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes the ET 48 2.0 is a great truggy and the fact you have gone with the M2C chassis must make it a right tank and a joy to drive and bash. Unfortunately we have never tried the duratrax, do like the Backflip LP's for bashing, just the right size and weight for bashing the ET. Will have to see if we can get those Duratrax over hear as they sound like a good option to the Back Flip LP's
Dave what an awesome truck, this is the video I’ve been waiting for. I’ve got a Losi 8ight 2.0 which was my nitro buggy I used to race, converted it to electric, and love it even more. Now watching this I’ve definitely got to get one!
I’ve been considering a 1/8 buggy or truggy for my next RC. After watching your vid, I am going to look hard at this Techno!! It made those runs look effortless!!! Great video.👍
It handles so well even on the backflip LP's, now have pin tires on and its even better, really is a great car - just to be clear i bought the car and get now kick back for promoting it, this is mine and the boys honest opinion on the car
Wow! I don't know what was more impressive the awesome tekno or Calum's skills. Great video from start to finish 👍 The tekno is just brilliant and the ugly body is perfect for some reason
Thanks, Callum was killing it with the Tekno, i almsot cancelled my order due to the body, so glad i didnt as its really gown on me and the car is just WOW
That body is looking better and better that blue colour does it some justice! I’m going to need to get one of these before summers done. Be a fun build and a good Truggy to have. That looks like a really fun race track I like the large open flat out running!
@@HardcoreRC you’ll laugh as did I, but I took your advice and ordered the last one from Tower Hobbies. They are out of stock now haha. I think I’ll do a blue or a Tamiya yellow for my body. For electronics I’m just going to use a Spektrum 6S esc and motor out of a Kraton V5 I sold but kept the esc motor. And I’ll use my 3PV radio. I’m hoping to get the EB48 2.0 buggy eventually as well!
@@HardcoreRC I’ve been using o ring grease but It’s not slippery enough really, I haven’t any slime so might try a dab of shock oil on o ring when I do rears
I've always said to self that Calum has had the better speed runs lol...but now I'm super impressed with his track skills. BigUps! Great Vid...the aerial shots were on point too!
Hey Dave killer truck mate I'm buying one shortly myself. With the LP's and their slightly larger diameter than Truggy racing tyres I was thinking that the shocks will bottom out before the chassis hits the ground putting major load on them is that the case mate? With you guys loving your jumps and sending cars to the moon those shocks wouldn't last too long..Cheers..
Hi, we dont send the Tekno, just use it for bash racing, as i call it. If you are going to send it would suggest getting a metal front chassis brace and the rear one, or the front drive shaft will bend. Here it is being bash raced at ARC facebook.com/ARC.Raceway.uk The LP's are not much different size wise than normal truggy tires so the shocks dont bottom out before the chassis hits the ground
Holy cow was that car awesome by your sons driving was even better. Now i want one. How fast was it going it looked quick but how quick is the question
Thanks - car is really awesome - not sure on the speed but will be doing some speed checks on it soon, wanted to do it yesterday but didn't have any Velcro with me 😂
Thanks - yes that the footage from the DJI FPV with me piloting - only my second time flying it 👍 hair car was so long over due and I'm very relieved 👍
Oh that's a tough one, currently the Tekno wont take much of a bashing, its really a racing truggy, but if / once M2C come out with braces is will be very good, Arrma 6s i woul dsay go for the EXB if you go the Arrma route - price it up with a Hobbywing Max8 2200kv combo, dumboRc radio and a DS3225 servo and likely only come out $30 more than the RTR, yet has way more in upgrades
Depends what we are using it for and the surface, general bashing then we use the Deboots Backflip LP, if bash racing on grass or lose dirt then use 6MIK Rapid-T Pre-Glued Truggy Tyre - BLUE
Really thinking about getting an 8th scale truggy kit for bashing. I had an arrma kraton but I want more quality and to build it myself. I’m figuring all the arrma 6s vehicles are based off of 8th scale buggy and truggy platforms so a tekno or TLR or even an associated 8th scale would be even better. Unless the race kits have stiffer “brittle” plastics that I’m overlooking 🤔
The Tekno ET is a great RC Handles so well as its designed to race, this also means that the stock chassis whilst very very good is designed to flex, these means that on heavy bashing you will likely bend the front drive shaft, the way to fix this is the add some M2C goodness in the form of chassis, top plate and rear brace, this would make the Tekno a solid basher and they dont suffer from brittle plastic
@@HardcoreRC Hey thanks for the reply! Good stuff to know for sure. I've had arrmas and noticed, Hey. These are just 8th scale buggies and truggies! I'm pretty sure the tekno comes with 7075 aluminum chassis/shock towers. Good stuff.
@@blackbirdrc8348 Yes the Tekno does come with 7075 chassis, shock towers and hinge pin blocks, The Chassis however has areas cut out to allow it it flex. as the flex is needed for racing, so whilst it wont bend like a stock Arrma, it will flex, this flex then causes the drive shaft to bend in heavy bashing. The M2C parts remove this flex, so better for bashing but not so good if you intend to race
Depends on what you are looking to do with the car. However if you fitted the M2c Chassis, Rear Brace and front top plate it would be tougher and handle better than a Kraton 6s, however is stock form its designed for racing so has a lot of chassis flex as such hard hits and the front drive shaft will bend
love the drone footage. I'm quite embarrassed to say... I've yet to even open my drone, need to nab my commercial license, and just find time to practice it... weekends have been too busy. Anyway... I will Soon enough! You gotten some great shots with yours. Are you fly'n it... or one of your boys?
You have to get it out and fly it, its a joy to pilot, this was me flying and only my second time, in sports mode so plenty quick enough at 65mph yet if you let go of the sticks it just stops and hovers, i need to get more batteries for it now
I was the same, almost cancelled my order, but really like the body now after seeing in the flesh and how it drives, plus it stands out from all the other lookalike truggies
@@sarahsutherland5164 As long as not extreme jumping of bashing its a great car, its designed to race so is very very quick round a track. Bear in mind it comes as a kit and you need to buy the ESC, Motor, Servo, wheels and tires for it as well. Depends where you are to how much they cost, UK they are £599 for the kit: www.rprcdistribution.com/product-page/ET48TKR9600
@@sarahsutherland5164 I didnt as there were a few out there already: this is a great place to review the build: th-cam.com/play/PLkAeX8W01U1ho9WuF2Ix0G13vfpcSfXPD.html
Your welcome - its a great car, and i dont even earn anything from the links and paid for the car myself 👍 so just a clean honest review. We run with a 17t pinion on this set up and just 4s
Awesome racing Callum I love a good racing truck truggy what ever Handled the curves very well and jumped very well also Not a big fan of the body but like ya said it's what's underneath that counts 👍✌️
@@rolandniederhofer7766 From what i have seen and heard to MX3.8 weight around 450g each, as said they are heavy. Unless you didn't mean the 3,8 size as they are big as well
Epic video man! This truck looks really cool to me lol and you’d know why if you have seen the body I run on my krajave... I really enjoy the blue you chose as well
What would you say is a better basher/racer.. This tekno truggy or the 1/8 Kraton exb?? I think I’m going to sell my exb for this truck just not quite sure yet
For racing the Tekno hands down, just handles so well, but it wont take the abuse the Kraton EXB will, need M2C to come out with some braces, the Orange one at the end bent the front drive shaft from that crash
Wow id thought you say techno stronger , we know the diffs are 😆, I don't feel so bad having a arrma collection instead buying kits which ultimately the same price maybe a little more, when the arrmas hit for 500 rtr you couldn't beat them now they getting up to kit prices .
@@paulclancy2404 have to remember from kit the Teknos are made for racing so have a lot of chassis flex. Once M2C come out with their chassis braces then I’m pretty sure the Tekno will be stronger than the Arrma’s, there arms are stronger, 7075 hubs, better diffs etc
Funny you should say that is now thinking of the TLR 8ight - but would stick with brushless as its what we know and love. Do love the sound and smell of nitro though
Highly interested in the Tekno ET48 2.0.. the body is Savage...My Arrma 1/8 Tryphoon6S V5 is hight offended.and I don't care... getting one of these Tekno ET48 2.0
Thanks - really is a great car to drive, Jack drove today and wants one now. Its not bash proof currently but hopefully M2C bring out some braces, but boy can it race and drive
That may be the case, i actually like it now, it stands out from all the other same looking Truggy bodies that you cant tell what is what, Plus the body performs very very well
I guess 3 people don’t like what you do! Probably trolls. 🤷🤷. I am not too big of a fan of the body, but I can see it growing on me. Calum drove AMAZING!! . Drone shots were amazing!! I think it is just superior against all others at the track! (Don’t know if the grammar is correct there🤣🤣)
LOL some people just love to hate, the more we grow the bigger bottle of salt i think we will need 😂 I wasnt a fan of the body and nearly cancelled my order due to the body, but now we have the car and seen it in the flesh its really gown on me. Hope to have more drone shots going forward as the DJI FVP as great for flying and tracking
@@HardcoreRC If I get it, I think I’ll like it too, but no guarantees. 🤣. Love the salt bottle phrase. 🤣. Cant wait to see what drone shots you can come up with!
Speaking as a basher, thats hit a few branches of the ugly tree. But its only a body, im just not sure you could replace it with - the odd front nose of the body !
Hehe, the body has actually gown on me now, but you can get other bodies that fit, this one for example: www.rprcdistribution.com/product-page/trssmann-patriot-body-for-xray-xt8
Damn I want one this video made me add one to my cart but $650😣 just built a $1300 1/5 kraton exb 😖 I need a minute! ( throws hands up and walks away) 😂😂😂
That truggy handles like a F1 race car! Calum is one talented driver!!! You chased em down like nothing! The body reminds me of a pig sticking his 🐽 through a hole in a fence ( petting zoo when I was a kid) Tekno don't get into the rc body business Just my opinion! Everyone has opinions and buttcracks! What? The drone flying and video was AWESOME DUDE!!! MORE IN VIDS PLEASE?🥺
Im thinking i need to get the boys into racing now and see how they do 😂 love the petting zoo comparison 😂😂 Should be more drone footage of the cars coming in vids as we get used to flying it more, oh and get more batteries for it
@@HardcoreRC Your boy's will do great racing!!! Nerves might get them the first heat? That body🤢 Love the Blue!!! By the end of that vid,the drone driver? Was on spot! 3 or 4 more vids and he's good!quick learner! I put the 40mm ×28mm fans back to 3a. Anything that spins that fast won't for long! I found them in the usa brand new! Even though refurbished fans like these work just fine! Thank you for that fan info💯👍👍👍👍👍 Cheaper than gamechanger fans! Just as good! Sorry gamechanger fans!!!
@@rcjunkie260 Thanks, need to find a racing track club near us and see how they get on and if they enjoy it. Was me piloting the DJI FPV, to be fair even in sports mode its nice and easy to fly, if you lose it just let go of the controls and it will stop and hover 👍 but will still hit 65mph if you need it to, its a blast to fly. Yeah they fans are a great upgrade, probably wise putting them back to 3s, dont want the car taking off 😂😂
@@HardcoreRC wow nice piloting! Not long and people will ask you to do drone video work for them! As lo g as the boys don't have many parts to replace in between heats ok! I raced oval stock cars for a couple years. It can be stressful and not too happy! With today's RC's shouldn't have many breaks!
@@rcjunkie260 Thanks, although the DJI FPV does make it a lot easier than full macro flying. Never know with the boys, they may suddenly see a ramp and go into send it mode 😂 Oval stock cars sounds like fun
Great video and driving. I think the tires actually gave you an advantage over the truggy tires on the ET48.3. You could clearly see that the ET48.3 did not have as much grip on this track. Would be interesting to see the difference between the two cars with the same setup and equally skilled drivers... I doubt that there would a big difference between them then.
Tires we will soon see about as now have 6Mik truggy pins, but all accounts the pins are supposed to be better than the backflips (that's what all the racers say 🤷♂️), we don't race professionally and just like to have fun, but from what im seeing the ET48 2.0 beating the ET 48.3 in races
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it, the car is awesome, i do get your view on the body as i hated it to start with, in fact i cam close to cancelling my order 3 times due t the body, its weird but now i actually really like it
@@ShadeTree_RC oh I gotcha lol , didn't see any redcats , yea these guys in uk have to pay ridiculous amount import fees , it probably be more than a teckno
@@ShadeTree_RC you know I'm old guy now 46 I don't pay attention to that like ,dislike stuff, tbh its cringy grown men asking for that , atleast with hard-core he's a family guy doing with his kids , maybe im just a hater 😆
If you say so, its built to stock specs per the manual, Camber is built into the arm on these, so may want to take it up with Tekno on their stock settings 😂. We are not professional racers, but still performed very well and killed all the other truggies on the weekend of fun
I thought the same at first, but it has really gown on me, plus if racing its the best shell to have. But yes you can get lots of normal race truggy bodies and they fit
I was totally the same way, almost cancelled my order due to the body, but now seeing it in the flesh and seeing how it also drives i actually love the body
epic drone shots!
Thanks - the DJI FPV really is easy to pilot, great for getting these sort of shots
Whats up guys
As always…
Yo it's kev :>
I pray Kevin never gets this truggy. He doesn’t deserve such a finely engineered piece of art like this and I can’t bear to see him destroy it. Great work guys.
We can both pray, Tekno just makes such nice cars that drive like a dream
@@HardcoreRC epic

However if you fitted the M2c Chassis, Rear Brace and front top plate it would be tougher and handle better than a Kraton 6s, however is stock form its designed for racing so has a lot of chassis flex as such hard hits and the front drive shaft will bend
@@HardcoreRC thanks
Idk how people can hate on that body ITS LITERALLY THE BEST TRUGGY BODY DESIGN
I know, i actually like the body now - its really gown on me
love the drone footage. I'm quite embarrassed to say... I've yet to even open my drone, need to nab my commercial license, and just find time to practice it... weekends have been too busy. Anyway... I will Soon enough! You gotten some great shots with yours. Are you fly'n it... or one of your boys?
You have to get it out and fly it, its a joy to pilot, this was me flying and only my second time, in sports mode so plenty quick enough at 65mph yet if you let go of the sticks it just stops and hovers, i need to get more batteries for it now
Not a fan of the body but omg what a car Dave.
I was the same, almost cancelled my order, but really like the body now after seeing in the flesh and how it drives, plus it stands out from all the other lookalike truggies
I love the tekno wold you recommend one .
and how much is one.
Tekno is a great great car, however it really depends on what you intend to do with it ?
Race and jump.
@@sarahsutherland5164 As long as not extreme jumping of bashing its a great car, its designed to race so is very very quick round a track.
Bear in mind it comes as a kit and you need to buy the ESC, Motor, Servo, wheels and tires for it as well.
Depends where you are to how much they cost, UK they are £599 for the kit: www.rprcdistribution.com/product-page/ET48TKR9600
Thanks allot .
Could you do a billd vid on it ?
@@sarahsutherland5164 I didnt as there were a few out there already: this is a great place to review the build: th-cam.com/play/PLkAeX8W01U1ho9WuF2Ix0G13vfpcSfXPD.html
Great truck
Thanks 👍
That truggy is awesome why hasn’t kev got one yet
It is awesome, not sure why Kev hasn't got one, i know he was thinking about it but then they all sold out
Wat ESC and moter would you recommend?
I was thinking of the same electronic.
Max8 with 2200kv is great, if you want to go racing though you could get a Tekin system
I ordered one... thanks for the review!
What's pinion?
Your welcome - its a great car, and i dont even earn anything from the links and paid for the car myself 👍 so just a clean honest review. We run with a 17t pinion on this set up and just 4s
No one testing tekno nice run
Thanks - its such a great RC
What color paint is the body?
Main color is Tamiya PS-16 (metallic blue) but backed with another blue and then white
What battery are you running in this truggy?
various hardcase4s packs (Gensace, DXF etc)
Awesome racing Callum I love a good racing truck truggy what ever Handled the curves very well and jumped very well also Not a big fan of the body but like ya said it's what's underneath that counts 👍✌️
Thanks - the body has really grown on me now, like the way it stands out from all the other truggies
What ist the weight of the badlands 3.8?
These are Backflip LP's - dont have any badland 3.8 as think they are to heavy
@@HardcoreRC i m Not shure Bit they are Not so heavy i think. I Heard they only weight 240 Gramm.
That s the weight of all truggy tires.
@@rolandniederhofer7766 From what i have seen and heard to MX3.8 weight around 450g each, as said they are heavy.
Unless you didn't mean the 3,8 size as they are big as well
Epic video man! This truck looks really cool to me lol and you’d know why if you have seen the body I run on my krajave... I really enjoy the blue you chose as well
What would you say is a better basher/racer.. This tekno truggy or the 1/8 Kraton exb?? I think I’m going to sell my exb for this truck just not quite sure yet
Thanks , i really like the body now, plus can understand why you like it as well - great body on the Krajave 👍
For racing the Tekno hands down, just handles so well, but it wont take the abuse the Kraton EXB will, need M2C to come out with some braces, the Orange one at the end bent the front drive shaft from that crash
Wow id thought you say techno stronger , we know the diffs are 😆, I don't feel so bad having a arrma collection instead buying kits which ultimately the same price maybe a little more, when the arrmas hit for 500 rtr you couldn't beat them now they getting up to kit prices .
@@paulclancy2404 have to remember from kit the Teknos are made for racing so have a lot of chassis flex.
Once M2C come out with their chassis braces then I’m pretty sure the Tekno will be stronger than the Arrma’s, there arms are stronger, 7075 hubs, better diffs etc
Awesome video and the buggy is 🔥🔥🔥🔥but that body needs some help.
Thanks - glad you enjoyed - the car is on another level, the body is a love or hate body that's for sure 😂
now you have a real racer you wanna try a Mugen Truggy or TLR but nitro there a beast
Funny you should say that is now thinking of the TLR 8ight - but would stick with brushless as its what we know and love. Do love the sound and smell of nitro though
Highly interested in the Tekno ET48 2.0..
the body is Savage...My Arrma 1/8 Tryphoon6S V5 is hight offended.and I don't care... getting one of these Tekno ET48 2.0
These Teknos are just a joy to drive, the body is very much marmite, but i have grown to love it
Are they 3.8 tires?
Yes they are the Backflip LP from the Outcast 4s
I love the body!
Me to - ive gone from 100% not liking it to 100% loving it
It’s and awesome Truggy. Just like my Losi Eight T / XE
They handle amazing
Really is on another level to the other cars we have, also have my eye on a Losi 8ight now as well - would be good to compare
@@HardcoreRC you won’t be disappointed
Damn that boy can race!💯💪 truck is amazing definitely buying one after that run and I’m a basher😆
Thanks - really is a great car to drive, Jack drove today and wants one now. Its not bash proof currently but hopefully M2C bring out some braces, but boy can it race and drive
Did you only run it on 4s??
Yes have only run it on 4s thus far
Man that’s fast!! On the video It looked like 6s. Can’t imagine how aggressive it will be on 6s!
@@Anton-gz1go I’m hoping to find out soon, planning on doing some speed runs on 4s and 6s
Looking forward for it! I just watched the video for a second time
@@Anton-gz1go wow thanks for watching again 👍
Sweet 😎
Very! 👍
Nice bash..super racer💪🏻
Thanks 👍 was a great days of bashing racing
@@HardcoreRC its was awesome 🤘🏻
Awesome vid
Thanks 👍
Awesome
Thanks 👍
Apparently the body was inspired by a drawing stuck on the front of the designer's fridge.
That may be the case, i actually like it now, it stands out from all the other same looking Truggy bodies that you cant tell what is what, Plus the body performs very very well
I guess 3 people don’t like what you do! Probably trolls. 🤷🤷.
I am not too big of a fan of the body, but I can see it growing on me. Calum drove AMAZING!! . Drone shots were amazing!!
I think it is just superior against all others at the track! (Don’t know if the grammar is correct there🤣🤣)
LOL some people just love to hate, the more we grow the bigger bottle of salt i think we will need 😂
I wasnt a fan of the body and nearly cancelled my order due to the body, but now we have the car and seen it in the flesh its really gown on me.
Hope to have more drone shots going forward as the DJI FVP as great for flying and tracking
@@HardcoreRC If I get it, I think I’ll like it too, but no guarantees. 🤣.
Love the salt bottle phrase. 🤣.
Cant wait to see what drone shots you can come up with!
Yeah, this truggy needs no modifications!
Its a great truggy, may just need better braces if you want to bash it a bit harder as chassis is designed to flex for the racers
Speaking as a basher, thats hit a few branches of the ugly tree. But its only a body, im just not sure you could replace it with - the odd front nose of the body !
Hehe, the body has actually gown on me now, but you can get other bodies that fit, this one for example: www.rprcdistribution.com/product-page/trssmann-patriot-body-for-xray-xt8
👍🏾🔥💯
👍🚀😂😎
Damn I want one this video made me add one to my cart but $650😣 just built a $1300 1/5 kraton exb 😖 I need a minute! ( throws hands up and walks away) 😂😂😂
Hehe, its a very very good car, Jack drove it today and now wants one as well 😂
That thing is really impressive as far as performance but it certainly isn't winning any beauty contests.
I was of the same thinking, but the body has really grown on me now
$15 servo in a $1000 Truggy😱......but then I “hear” who you bash with.....and it makes complete sense.....
Hehe, was all i had to hand, will likely put a better servo in now we know how good the car is
👍👍👍
Thanks for watching 👍👍
That truggy handles like a F1 race car! Calum is one talented driver!!! You chased em down like nothing!
The body reminds me of a pig sticking his 🐽 through a hole in a fence ( petting zoo when I was a kid)
Tekno don't get into the rc body business
Just my opinion!
Everyone has opinions and buttcracks! What?
The drone flying and video was AWESOME DUDE!!! MORE IN VIDS
PLEASE?🥺
Im thinking i need to get the boys into racing now and see how they do 😂 love the petting zoo comparison 😂😂
Should be more drone footage of the cars coming in vids as we get used to flying it more, oh and get more batteries for it
@@HardcoreRC Your boy's will do great racing!!! Nerves might get them the first heat? That body🤢 Love the Blue!!! By the end of that vid,the drone driver? Was on spot! 3 or 4 more vids and he's good!quick learner!
I put the 40mm ×28mm fans back to 3a. Anything that spins that fast won't for long!
I found them in the usa brand new! Even though refurbished fans like these work just fine! Thank you for that fan info💯👍👍👍👍👍
Cheaper than gamechanger fans! Just as good!
Sorry gamechanger fans!!!
@@rcjunkie260 Thanks, need to find a racing track club near us and see how they get on and if they enjoy it.
Was me piloting the DJI FPV, to be fair even in sports mode its nice and easy to fly, if you lose it just let go of the controls and it will stop and hover 👍 but will still hit 65mph if you need it to, its a blast to fly.
Yeah they fans are a great upgrade, probably wise putting them back to 3s, dont want the car taking off 😂😂
@@HardcoreRC wow nice piloting! Not long and people will ask you to do drone video work for them! As lo g as the boys don't have many parts to replace in between heats ok! I raced oval stock cars for a couple years. It can be stressful and not too happy! With today's RC's shouldn't have many breaks!
@@rcjunkie260 Thanks, although the DJI FPV does make it a lot easier than full macro flying.
Never know with the boys, they may suddenly see a ramp and go into send it mode 😂
Oval stock cars sounds like fun
First haha 😛
Haha 😂😂
@@HardcoreRC haha 😂 2 days ago 🤔
@@Emily_xx5 lol why does it say that
@@Emily_xx5 LOL - how did that happen ?
@@HardcoreRC you gave seb early access to the video
Great video and driving. I think the tires actually gave you an advantage over the truggy tires on the ET48.3. You could clearly see that the ET48.3 did not have as much grip on this track. Would be interesting to see the difference between the two cars with the same setup and equally skilled drivers... I doubt that there would a big difference between them then.
Tires we will soon see about as now have 6Mik truggy pins, but all accounts the pins are supposed to be better than the backflips (that's what all the racers say 🤷♂️), we don't race professionally and just like to have fun, but from what im seeing the ET48 2.0 beating the ET 48.3 in races
cool. body ummmmph sorry hate it but the car is how he say's awesome, same as the vid.👍
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it, the car is awesome, i do get your view on the body as i hated it to start with, in fact i cam close to cancelling my order 3 times due t the body, its weird but now i actually really like it
Second
Hehe - sorry it was Sebs fault
@@HardcoreRC why
You guessed wrong. haha
@@bigandcoolrcschool294 you could tell me now then delete it 30 seconds after
@@Emily_xx5 I would still rather not. sorry.
5 ppl bought redcats
Id like to try a redcat but hard to get hold of in the UK
What you talking bout willis , redcats can't compare to teckno you know that being 410 your favorite
@@paulclancy2404 i was referring to the dislikers 😆
@@ShadeTree_RC oh I gotcha lol , didn't see any redcats , yea these guys in uk have to pay ridiculous amount import fees , it probably be more than a teckno
@@ShadeTree_RC you know I'm old guy now 46 I don't pay attention to that like ,dislike stuff, tbh its cringy grown men asking for that , atleast with hard-core he's a family guy doing with his kids , maybe im just a hater 😆
Your ride height is wack!!! I can bet your toe and camber the same. Lol
If you say so, its built to stock specs per the manual, Camber is built into the arm on these, so may want to take it up with Tekno on their stock settings 😂. We are not professional racers, but still performed very well and killed all the other truggies on the weekend of fun
why does the UK have the absolute worst RC tracks EVER?
Makes us all better drivers 😂 these are not pro race tracks, just basher tracks
Daaaaamn, what an ugly shell. Can you get something else for the top?
I thought the same at first, but it has really gown on me, plus if racing its the best shell to have. But yes you can get lots of normal race truggy bodies and they fit
@@HardcoreRC thank you very much :)
@@addyshimov Your welcome - thank you for watching
Quite possibly the worst body ever! But hay it's all good!
I was totally the same way, almost cancelled my order due to the body, but now seeing it in the flesh and seeing how it also drives i actually love the body
