This is the Tekno RC ET48.3 1/8 Scale Electric 4WD Off Road Truggy Kit.
The original ET48 was a huge improvement on what an electric truggy
platform could be and was an incredible success around the world. Now
it’s time to introduce the future of the ET48 platform with V3, the new
standard in the 1/8 Electric Truggy class.
Updated rear hubs (TKR5199) allow the option of using the stock CV
axles or upcoming universal driveshafts. Also offered are the rear hubs
in aluminum as an option part (TKR5199A). At the front of the vehicle
are updated trailing steering spindles (TKR5193) and spindle carriers
(TKR5194). The trailing components vastly improve high speed bump
handling in addition to smoothing out the steering response. The vehicle
initiates turns more predictably and finishes corners better than ever
before. Larger bearings are now fitted to the front spindles for
improved durability. The spindles will also accommodate the upcoming
universal driveshafts.
The V2 hinge pin braces (TKR5161, TKR5162, TKR5163, TKR5164, TKR5165)
have found their way into this kit. They provide more adjustability
than ever before; changing the roll centers at the hinge pin is now an
easy task and allows you to set up the vehicle for any conditions. Front
arm sweep, kick-up, rear anti-squat, and rear toe are all adjustable.
The Tekno low profile wing mount (TKR5181) is included to lower the
CG of the whole vehicle while a revised front bumper (TKR5166) increases
front ground clearance. Straight camber link rod ends (TKR5187) were
produced to improve consistency in corners. Maintenance is easier with
the addition of the split center differential mount (TKR5260, TKR5263).
Clamping spring perches (TKR6140) and updated shock boots (TKR6144,
TKR6145) are also included to keep the shocks clean, smooth, and trouble
free.
Finally, the box setup has been tuned by some of the best drivers in
the world to give customers a vehicle that they can confidently drive in
most conditions. With the extensive list of adjustments and
improvements, it is easier than ever to tune the vehicle to your driving
style and track conditions.
