Daryl Robinson Verified Owner Saturday, Jan 11 2025 (9 months ago) Tekno RC ET48 2.2 1/8 Electric 4WD Off-Road Competition Truggy Kit This truggy kit is awesome. Very well built and thought out. Shocks are buttery smooth. I would like a little more room on the electronics side of the chassis. I run the hobby wing xr8 plus and it barely fits. The quick access diff setup is great and easy to inspect your diffs. And I really appreciate the pill setup for the A arm pins. Love tekno rc and how well their kits are made. 7 customers found this review helpful. Nathan Williams Verified Owner Thursday, Jan 16 2025 (8 months ago) Tekno RC ET48 2.2 1/8 Electric 4WD Off-Road Competition Truggy Kit Tekno kits are always easy to build and super high quality. I don’t have any experience with the 2.0 truggy, or any other truggy, but this has been easy to drive. Took it to Southern Indoor Championship, qualified into the A Main on nearly box stock setup. This is my second Tekno, and I’m happy with it. 6 customers found this review helpful. David Evans Verified Owner Saturday, May 31 2025 (4 months ago) Tekno RC ET48 2.2 1/8 Electric 4WD Off-Road Competition Truggy Kit This kit went together even easier than my EB 48 2.2! Because this time I know what I’m doing lol.
It’s beautiful and as soon as I get the motor, I will be shredding it in the yard on the track. I’m confident that it will handle as well as the buggy! And the buggy handles better than any of my RTR‘s! Love it! 1 customer found this review helpful.

Jason Zilm Verified Owner Tuesday, May 20 2025 (4 months ago) Tekno RC ET48 2.2 1/8 Electric 4WD Off-Road Competition Truggy Kit This was the first build from Tekno and the first build I have done in years, but this kit was fantastic and went together easy as pie and the manual is very well detailed. I had this kit built in a couple of nights and can’t wait to get this on the track. Justin Eaton Verified Owner Tuesday, Apr 22 2025 (5 months ago) Tekno RC ET48 2.2 1/8 Electric 4WD Off-Road Competition Truggy Kit Great kit. Fit and finish is 2nd to none best instructions out there Roger Hubbard Thursday, Feb 20 2025 (7 months ago) Tekno RC ET48 2.2 1/8 Electric 4WD Off-Road Competition Truggy Kit Please do not try to run this truck on 6s for extended periods of time. First off, if you are used to Arrma Kratons 6s, you will find the battery compartment a bit snug on this vehicle. Second, the drive train was not designed for 6s. I have had a slew of problems with stripping the rear pinion and ring gear on hard accelerations. I am now in the process of upgrading to metal diff. cases and metal housing units for the front center and rear.
ON the plus side this truggy is very precise easy to run, and fun to drive. But its made for really the track only and 4S MAX. 1 of 11 customers found this review helpful. View all reviews
