Get a Tekno et48 2.2 or wait for TC to drop a 6s mt/t?? 😬

[Tommyguns89]

Currently eyeing ET48 2.2 but seeing the potential stunt truck has me on the reserve knowing damn well I click buy and it will be announced lol.
Thoughts anyone?

Tekno is a truggy where the new model looks like it’s going to be a swb stunt truck pick your poison.

The ET48 is a dedicated racer, plenty tough and capable of bashing though. Won’t stunt like an SWB basher. Depends on what you plan on doing I suppose.
I’ve been thinking TC is over due for some new 6s releases.
I don’t really hear/see much going on with TC here in the US unfortunately.

I don’t know how the ET48 2.2 compares with the 48.3 in terms of durability but the 48.3 needs a little beefing up to withstand 6s use in my experience. Luckily it absolutely rips on 4s due to it’s lightweight and really doesn’t need 6s.

 

[Nelson.81]

There a 6s furago coming & rs syncro. M2c use to do upgrades for the Tekno not sure if still do maybe worth a look if that’s what your after

I have the MT48. It’s quite fast on 4s. Run times are also long since it is very light compared to my 6s corally’s. I’m pleased with it but as with all RC’s it has flaws.

I have an ET48 2.2 basher.
It sucks as a stunt truck.
It can be run on 6s but it's a limited lifespan adventure. The truck isn't made for that kind of stress.
It's the best handling truggy made and that's why I own it. It's one of my favorite trucks.
I highly recommend the MT48 2.0, my daughter and I each have one. It's the best 4s monster truck ever made, and by a lot.

Hmm I realize now the very broad question i asked lol... or narrow . Ive seen the et48 2.2 bashed and its been praised highly. Of course I'll probably get both... I'll never pass up a TC MT/T....EVER but I can land a Tekno et48 2.2 for 600 brand spankins news!

Yes im in the US as well and at times I wish I was over the puddle..
I guess im looking for more truggy aspect. I enjoy offroad cruising usually jumps are incorporated in my rippin instead of just hitting a jump landing reset etc etc. Im different from another I've seen...
Lol im sure you know from my past posts... TC is overdue the day after they release anything lol IMO

Ya it get confused with the numbers lol usually higher is better but 3 is discontinued 2.0 is newer 2.2 newest yet 3 sounds better... only because 3 is more then 2...2.2.. I'll check out the 3 see what it has.

I say I have an ET48.3, but it’s actually a MT410.3 on an ET48.3 chassis, so not an official ET48.3.. LOL.
It’s easily my favorite 1/8 truggy for “rashing”, which is basically smash and run racing with my bro on a track at my house. We both have TC Kronos, he also has TRX sludge, Arrma Talion EXB (v5), Serpent (cheaper one, not sure the model), Kraton BLX (v5), Asuga and Typhon 6s BLX. I also have Kraton EXB (v5) and an Xray 1/8 buggy. Those are our 1/8 “rasher” buggy and truggies. Plus each of us has several of 8s MT/truggy, and 1/10 (2s) as well as SCT in 1/10+1/8..

I seen these and ohh did the blood get pumping! I wish TC would be like.. (boss announcer voice) FURAGO 6S COMING THIS TIMISH... YOU BIT%$@$$ FANBOYS!!!

Unfortunately nothing just pictures lol

From what I've seen a skid/chassis protector is needed and I forget the others but not much needed with this kit. I have a TC 6s system, hw 8bdl? W/ 2250kv. Spare kuron 825 too. Yes M2C has a good selection for et48 2.0 2.2 and 3. Thank you. I have the emulsion caps for Kag6 . Planning on upgrading as things break haha

I’d prefer a truggy to a swb so I’ll be waiting even longer for some photos or some bread crumbs of news it might be coming. If was looking at a kit I quite like look of sparko f8te something a bit different I like the blue/purple anodised parts it comes with.

 

[Tommyguns89]

The wait is horrible but with the tech these days its so worth it to see what craziness they unleash! I too prefer the truggy look! Its just something about STUNT TRUCK that has my attention. The notorious 6s is a fun truck for sure!

Ive never seen anything sparko and im always looking for different brands! Would you bash the F8te? Seems like they offer both race and bash parts? Or im way off lol

 

[Nelson.81]

More a race truck I’d use it for light bashing probably more of a shelf queen if got one

I was going with that originally but seen that et48 2.2 and kinda put the mt on the back burner. What tires do you run?

The Sparko do look awesome! Quite rare in the US, pricey. Tekno isn’t cheap, but widely available, which is one reason I chose mine. I also have their SCT410.3 which is a tank. Originally I built the MT410 for ramping and such, after bending some CVD’s I decided to focus on building a track instead. Then eventually the SWB MT grew longer, into an ET48. I wouldn’t change it back. Though I do now have a spare chassis for the SCT should I ever need one.

The 4s backflips. It’s a quick truck, runs circles around my Kagama LE. Honestly it’s perfectly matched to 4s. It’s more durable than my 6s corally’s on 4s. The things I don’t like are the small battery tray and the body situation. I’ve been practicing front flips and my failed attempts do a number on the body with no center support.
