[@wreckem4431]

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!

[@HardcoreRC]

Thanks and really glad you enjoyed it, we enjoyed making it, Tekno really is on another level for driving

[@savagex466-qt1io]

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

[@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

[@jimbratherton]

That drone footage with the epic cinematic music overlay was a joy to watch. Well done lads

[@HardcoreRC]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed that, i enjoyed piloting the drone and then editing that in

[@longboardguy]

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 👋🇨🇦

[@HardcoreRC]

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

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!

They sure are fun builds and great to drive, dont wait to long or may be out of stock

[@longboardguy]

@@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!

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..

[@HardcoreRC]

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

What is a better buy for general bashing around, nothing extreme. The Arrma 6S or the ET48 2.0?

[@HardcoreRC]

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

Would you choose their kit over the kraton 6s

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

[@blackbirdrc8348]

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 🤔

[@HardcoreRC]

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

[@blackbirdrc8348]

@@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.

[@HardcoreRC]

@@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

[@Tegridy_Rc]

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

[@Tegridy_Rc]

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

[@HardcoreRC]

Thanks , i really like the body now, plus can understand why you like it as well - great body on the Krajave 👍

[@HardcoreRC]

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

[@paulclancy2404]

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 .

[@HardcoreRC]

@@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

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.

[@HardcoreRC]

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

$15 servo in a $1000 Truggy😱......but then I “hear” who you bash with.....and it makes complete sense.....

[@HardcoreRC]

Hehe, was all i had to hand, will likely put a better servo in now we know how good the car is

[@jamesrobinson4950]

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) 😂😂😂

[@HardcoreRC]

Hehe, its a very very good car, Jack drove it today and now wants one as well 😂

[@rcjunkie260]

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?🥺

[@HardcoreRC]

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

[@rcjunkie260]

@@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!!!

[@HardcoreRC]

@@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 😂😂

[@rcjunkie260]

@@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!

[@HardcoreRC]

@@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

[@joshmcbride7188]

Your ride height is wack!!! I can bet your toe and camber the same. Lol

[@HardcoreRC]

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

[@dirtrider88]

why does the UK have the absolute worst RC tracks EVER?

[@HardcoreRC]

Makes us all better drivers 😂 these are not pro race tracks, just basher tracks

[@jeremycravens6973]

Quite possibly the worst body ever! But hay it's all good!

[@HardcoreRC]

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

[@addyshimov]

Daaaaamn, what an ugly shell. Can you get something else for the top?

[@HardcoreRC]

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
