Did anyone catch Hunter's speed secret outro 🤔

Hey Ryan, you made a mistake on your base line setup sheet the front and rear droop should switch around

Hey Ryan, nicetekno car 🚗❤️

mcnugget sauce on shock o-ring sur made me laugh

Love the move to Tekno. Never clicked a vid so fast.

[@velohana3781]

Ryan, I think you have about the best damn channel in all of R/C. Just super good quality and I think you deserve a broader audience! Hoping that happens for you! I'm learning from you as well and one day would love to get a 1/10th scale buggy - never had one and currently bought a Trophy Rat to have fun with my kids! Plus, i'm too terrible a driver but hoping your tips help me! Cheers!

[@PaddyPatrone]

Bought a eb48 2.0 when it came out. While the box setup is not as stable on loose tracksas the 2.2, after a while and some changes here and there, I got it there. And man the quality. It must have been many hundreds of batteries I have run in it by now and I only broke 2 A-Arms over all that time. Love the thing.

3 weeks ago i bought a used 48 4 for a price i couldn't refuse. Loved the way it drove and the build quality. Ordered an eb 2.2 soon after. Its going to be a build a thon weekend! Excellent video as always bud

[@idrum2loud]

This video has me not only wanting a 1/8 Tekno, but now I need to build a 1/8 track close to my house ASAP!!! ( Hampton Roads VA needs 1/8 love!!!)

[@MapleNachiman]

tekno trucks and buggies have been dominating our very rough dirt track I club race at. Makes me want to get one :)

[@141Marios]

Had lots of different cars. Ive built a mp10 tki3 when it came out and after 6 months ive decided to sell it and get a 8ight x 2.0. It was the worst decision ever. Now after i sold that crap i got another mp10tki3 and from the first tank i felt the difference. Fast alot of stability easy to drive and the most important thing is that it gives you lots of confidence. I don't know the tekno cars because where i live there's no one driving or supporting tekno but kyosho for me is the best car ever made. And for those that will say it breaks easily it doesn't! After a front a arm change when i was building the kit to a Hard HD arms and lots of liters and a race day on it it does not break anything. Great video Ryan!!

[@gainsrc]

Hunter speed secret was hard to digest 😮 Awesome to see you driving a Tekno! Wierdest DNF ever!! My first Nitro was AE and while it was a great car I ran my NB48 2.0 on Sunday it felt like home. I'm looking forward to getting the 2.2 at the end of the year. Hopefully we can keep nitro alive here in FL. Great video Ryan!

[@RcOffroad9513]

The car looked great! I have been racing my nitro buggies and this past weekend I had an air leak in the carburetor slide boot which made the engine run too lean and was a headache all day. I am loving some nitro these days! Great video! Thanks for the awesome content!

[@jamesmkalbaugh]

Great Video! Running in New England, I share your love hate relationship with the tracks and the way they blow out! I started with the NB482.1, and it is an awesome platform, and have done very well! I just built and ran my new NB48 2.2 this past weekend and it was LIGHTS OUT amazing! B-Q'd and won the 12 minute B Main, bumped into the A, in the back of the field and finished 3rd after a 20 minute main, just 4 seconds away from 2nd place! Extraordinarily happy with the Tekno NB48 2.2!!!

[@BAYRAKTAR_MAN]

This guy never misses an opportunity to blast light into his blue eyes lol. In all seriousness though I wish you’d do more 1/8 E-Buggy stuff, I’m torn between a RC8B4.1E and a EB48 2.2

[@p_hat]

Love the way tekno's drive. Just hate working on them. Their radio tray layout is cumbersome

[@norevlimitr1602]

I like how Ryan talks about "feel" and "confidence" These are terms that most wont understand unless they are veterans and its burned into your brain from a ton of experience.

Back when we still had outdoor offroad tracks to run nitro at... my favorite had to be a TLR 8ight-T 2.0 I always loved the looks and handling of the truggys but you have me wanting to build a buggy now...

[@ShortCourseWorld]

Daaang....i might have to get one of these bad boys!

[@jorgechacon2943]

Awesome video!! It’s been a while since I drove a Tekno buggy, had them when they were the 48.3 platform and from the box it was extremely hard but once I figured out some things in setup the car felt awesome. I’ve been thinking for a while in come back to tekno for this platform, there is no other Brand new tekno in my country son I’m thrilled to give it a chance. Been racing for mugen for the best part of six years now.

[@whiskeyhotelpapa]

Great video as always Ryan!

[@Dsandss]

Not driven the buggy but my introduction with the 1/8th scale world I picked up an ET48 2.0 and am very happy. Waiting for there update soon box stock, predictable, easy to drive. Highly impressed!

[@fossfamilyrc8066]

Yes I have been on a quest for a 1/8th scale chassis quest and I found tekno myself I can't wait to buy the EB48 2.2 I'm going to be driving it next year I'm so excited I have the 2.0 that I converted over to the 2.1 slash 2.2 and man it's awesome and I run my ebuggy on clay at my local club and man it's a blast and it has tons of grip for a smooth track! Yes on clay with clay tires guys they hook up on clay too just try it Ryan you will thank me later lol have fun

I think Max Mort posted something about the short springs in the rear a while ago, saying less length means less chance of lateral movement in the middle of the spring, giving a more consistent operation

Great video as always. 34 minutes. It was heaven lol. I drive Mugen and it has nothing on tekno on corner entry. I'm in the Northeast and everyone drives Tekno. Great choice. Quick question. Are you liking 1/8 scale more than 1/10? Or is it a 50/50 call? All the best. Keep the videos coming!

I love racing just about anything, but 1/8 has been a very fun routine this year. Very little desire to do anything with the 1/10 at the moment haha

[@joeddejohn]

The sct 2.0 has a cover for the rocks getting in the drive train. Wonder if you have that option for the buggy. I somehow think you will like this buggy for a while.

[@darenolney41]

Honestly IMO your average joe racer is probably better suited to a c hub design car. Any pillow ball car I have run has always had the same characteristics. Mid/late over rotation and then your trying to get it to stabilize. I've driven a tekno and just as you say it was confidence inspiring. Personally I run a Mayako and couldn't be happier. (Another c hub option) and just as you said the first tank in that car just inspired confidence driving it.

[@corletbt69]

The Mayako is intriguing, JQ knows his stuff. Anything you don’t like about it? I’m interested in this Tekno as well. Decisions, decisions.

[@hgthehulk2235]

We purchased the RC8B4.1 the same time, I was little ahead with this one. What's next for, upcoming version of the NT48? :)

[@Happy_FPV]

So you’ve gone from the AE which you were ok with but wanted more. Now the tekno is seeming to be a big direction you like dare I say perfection for you? So pillowball to C hub. What about trying the sparko car? It’s literally both. It’s a C hub with an upper arm. I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on that.

[@CarlNadfalusi]

Great content, how did you go regarding the clutch ? Shimming required like AMain did ? I am driving mugen at the moment and wanting more mid corner speed out of it, also using the mayfield .1 engine it’s so smooth and linear like you say too! Is there another brand on the radar for content ?

[@RCUniversity-kw4rt]

Next video…the new Spektrum iXSR is the best radio!! I bought it and love it!!! I don’t mind people making money but be honest about it. So sad.

[@blairhammond5456]

You STILL mad bro!?

[@roberttruesdell6151]

Spektrum is blah. Over priced junk. The DX6R was horrible. And iXsR isn’t much different. And stupid expensive

[@SupperGammer]

What kind of tires would y'all suggest in a surface similar to those first clips? Only 1/10 scale and more dirt, less clay. That's the kind of surface most common in Eastern Europe and I'll be racing 1/10 scale Open class next season. Big thanks!

[@kevbot5.0keller66]

I would love to get into 1/8 scale racing but the closest track is a hour and 45 minutes away. That car looks sick.

[@rawleymacias8921]

So, how does it compare to the AE car you built a few months ago?

[@grimmjackk]

You haven't tried Mugen yet?

[@RyanHarrisRC]

I’ve tried a few at the track. Wasn’t much different or better than the AE, so no need for me to build one imo

[@stankovic7150]

There is not a good and bad chassi. It seems that tekno fit your driving style. I like the twitchy feel of team associated, and i hate a "driving on the rails" tlr style.

[@lawnmowerdave]

Question for you, I run on a sandy clay track that rarely sees water (none usually). Typically these C hub cars handle a bit worse on loose tracks but you swapped out of the AE for this. Do you notice more mid corner stability over the pillow balls? Im in the market for a new kit and its between the tekno or XRAY (xray is due to a hair more local guys stocking some parts)

[@rolikx23]

why did you mount the airfilter from the previous NB48?

[@rasmusaskrot9627]

try a kyosho next haha

[@CarlSandvik]

Would you expect the same performance from the e-buggy? Sorry for the double post.

[@RyanHarrisRC]

Looks like a solid option for fast high bite tracks

[@juanpablosaenz7719]

[@theyatsyspam]

How much is changing on these new chassis that come out, really? Is it literally mm differences in dimentions of susp towers etc that warrant hype-trains?
