Such a beautifully engineered buggy, can't wait to see a full review and running vid. Love it. 😎😎

I'm enjoying your videos, I thought I was subscribed already but only actually managed to hit the button last week! I'm no RC racer myself, but I do love 8th scale buggies! Haven't built one yet, so I'm just watching and learning, I have a few RTR's and used buggies, and main thing is I will be restoring a couple old Xrays this winter. That Tekno is awesome, I have heard, looking forward to follow your experience with it!

I have a truggy motor in mine with ceramic bearings. Avid titanium turn buckles j&t bearing Co. Ceramic bearings, j&t bearing Co. Servo mount and carbon esc tray my favorite things is how free everything is the inserts are amazing the anti roll bars deadband and how easy the kit manual was to read and the tuning explanations in the back of the manual! Its built like a tank also I swapped out the button head screws out because I snapped one on install for stainless screws

Great content! I'd love to see an ET48 2.2 build and review from you. 😁

I love both my Tekno cars. Although they are the older versions, they are a blast to drive and easy to work on. I have the EB48.4 and the ET482.1 My first rave of the year will be at the end of Jan. 🤘🫡

Great little video mate

interesting, i bought those red pistons with the kit after hearing about the molded ones. yet to buy the roll bar kits, was going to wait till i get a chance to try the car on track and until i can drive it a little harder. think they should have come with the kit myself. will probably be racing mostly on astro turf so we'll see how it goes :)

What shock oil?

Great vid Seany Rc and cheers for the shoutout 🏁

We have a club WhatsApp group and was well worth setting lots of rc chatter and banter. Rc racing is a fantastic hobby great for mental health and enjoyment

Is the shading of the honeycomb the same color green as the rest of the back?

How many times can you reuse the wheels?

Great content , love your 1/10th stuff also , just in the middle of my 2.2 build .. looking forward to the summer race season with .. the lads at RPRC are legends 👍

I am 47, I only started racing 18 months ago. I race at Dorset Model Car Racing Club. I absolutely love it.

#TeknoTakeOver I love mine! The build was fantastic and I have a whole spare car for spares for this year for racin

Hi , love the content, I'm 7 Teknos in and because myself and a friend have dominated the track at our local bashing spot, many in our group have just bought the the buggy or the truggy so that they now can be competitive lol , I also run Losi ,Kyosho, Muggen and Team Durango vehicles for racing , while living in the UK I found it frustrating at times finding places to run my cars without issues, now in Germany I spoilt for choice. Try to master the Losi Promoto MX .

Mugen is far better kit. Nothing compares to mugen quality been that way for a very long time. Probably longer than most of you clowns have been alive. Tekno was a trash company back in the day and only since signing Maifield have they taken off.

Just a note, it’s pronounced Léd Finger, as in the heavy metal lead. Lead Finger as in you have a heavy throttle finger.

i finished building mine up last week, can't wait to give her a rip in spring. looking forward to seeing your build

Seany.looking forward to this one even though I have just bought my very first RC car, which is an XRAY XB8E 2024. I'm looking at the hobbywing xr8 esc 1900 kv motor combo.The thing is they do a plus model and a pro model. Which one would suit the car? Also, I have a savox monster servo 32kg servo for steering. Is that strong enough. Cheers Gary

Welcome to Tekno!!!!

Teknos are bad ass i have 7 of them but however they drive on the track not in the track .

Awesome 😎

Neat interview

This video moved me. Immediately subscribed. Thanks for sharing your passion for RC. I feel the same. Rooting for you all and maybe one day we’ll race! Cheers mate

Man, I don't know where you race, but every track I've visited in the Western US has been an exclusive club. They do everything they can to keep new racers off the track (so they can have it for themselves, I guess?) Last one I dropped into in Utah just straight up told me nah, ya can't race here, all the pit tables are taken. Like 9 pit tables and they had 3 racers that night, but the regular racers just left their gear on the pit tables so nobody else could use them. And I watched a 40 year old man on steroids scream obscenities (this is in a toy store, mind you) when he started crashing. I was really hoping for this scenario you described, but I haven't seen it. Just took my little girl to the only local track and felt compelled to leave when the staff and racers went into detail about what they prefer to do in the bedroom when they finally get a lady in one. It's as if RC tracks here attract a really particular and unpleasant type of people. When I meet someone new to RC, I steer them AWAY from RC tracks and racing. The expense and the friction with other racers isn't worth the hassle and seems likely to deter people from RC as a whole. Now I have built my Mini Z track on a storable plank and set up tracks in yards or lots if we want to race. Far cheaper, no fights about cheating, no tire sauce, everyone has fun. Seems much better to me. Interesting to hear your perspective on it though.

Looking forward to the build and testing. I loved my Tekno EB48 2.1 and was debating getting the 2.2, decided to try the Agama N1e. I certainly miss the way my Tekno handled the handled the bumps compared to the Agama.

John gourley from PTM went RC racing

Hope to see u guys over the pond..Get to grass roots and race in DIRT like in USA

Looking forward to this 😀 👌

RC racing is live and well around me we have a dirt oval, mini z plenty of crawlers and more a great way to get out of the house.

Everyone be sure to check the comments section for even more motivation! thank you to everyone for sharing storys.

Good luck for the new baby, I ve they can be expensive......... You can get at least a few grand. Good investment 😊

Brilliant video, inspiring. Thank you. ❤

Started RC racing back in 2007 at the age of 16, still racing and hope to continue till the end. Did summer jobs and newspaper delivery to finance the hobby, it really taught me money saving. I was on the Isle of wight for a 3 week summer job in 2009 or 2010 and sadly did not find any RC club back then. Also started sharing the hobby more on the socials to make people notice it, but the best thing of the share is you have your own record of where you went.

I got back into racing too give my kid something too do. He’s 13 now and I can’t keep up with him! Done his confidence good and reduced his anxiety about going out.

I’m from the US. Started racing when I was 4. My neighbor was actually a national champion and also worked for one of the top motor companies at the time. I was incredibly fortunate to have someone like that as a roll model in my life. I’m 35 now. I don’t race as much as I did in my 20s but R/C is what drove me to be an engineer. It was on my CV and it’s what got me my first real engineering job. That job got me to where I am now and I can’t believe I would have accomplished any of it without R/C

Awesome and inspiring video, thanks. I'm just starting at 45 yrs old. Love it

Love this video, thank you for the message. My story is similar to others. Got a used Tamiya Grasshopper when i was in 9th grade and was hooked immediately. I raced seriously in the 90s, then life happened and i found myself out of the hobby for many years. In 2020, with the family grown , I now have some time and money to do what i love. Im 52 now, and love the hobby now even more. I love racing at the big events, doesnt matter where i place. I enjoy being a part of it, watching the pros dazzle us with their skills, and helping out the younger generation. I learn a lot from the kids too! My recommendation, talk to that person you dont know thats pitting next to you, might be their first day, and just might be your next best friend.

This is great Sean, nice one buddy! Hope to see you back at Nemo again soon!

Do you use a stick handset or wheel?

Well said mate, thanks for sharing your story. Congratulations on being a father

I was into to it 1989 , I was 16 , in and out over the years , got back into it 2020 , I’ve been pushing hard , recently got a sponsored by exalt , it took a lot work , 10 to 15 hours a week of practicing, it’s a amazing hobby if you can afford it , now I try to help as many people as I can to succeed at racing , I really enjoy seeing other succeed at racing .

Stop putting stupid ahh music in it

I started racing 4 years ago at 48 and absolutely love it. Wished I would had the opportunity to begin earlier in life. Some of the best friends I’ve ever made has been around the R/C racing world. Great video!

Lovely video Sean! RC has changed my life for the better too! I started when I was a teenager, my dad bought be a traxxas bandit for christmas one year and me and my bro raced that and his Tamiya around the dining room table every evening after school until my dad took us to a race meeting. I ended up 2nd in the B final at a regional 10th scale event. Then i grew out of it for 20+ years. I picked the hobby back up around 10 years ago but with 8th scale, and the last two years i've been competing at nationals. Finished 36th overall this year! RC is an amazing hobby with some amazing people in it, i've made more friends through RC than any other hobby, and as you said it teaches you life skills you didn't know you needed. Congrats on becoming a father! Keep up the good work mate, hopefully catch you at a race meeting in 2025 :D <3 Chewy RC

Video popped up and started listening.. within the first couple of minutes I subscribed 🙏 sounded very familiar and continued to enjoy your story 👌 hello to everyone leaving and reading comments 👋 and thank you for your story seanyrc

My kid is a little over 2 and one is 6 months, I don't want to fly by but I look forward to when they are 5 or 6ish to get them to a tack. I hope they love it the way I do. My parents never got me an RC so I had to wait until ll high-school to get a traxxas t-maxx but I'd always go to my local tack and watch nitro races and wish I could do that. Here I am at 37 and unfortunately nitro isn't as popular in my area but I race multiple different electric classes and tho I have friends at the track, I wish I had someone close to me that enjoyed it also

Touching story....Seems beautiful where u reside at
