TEKNO ET-48 2.2 "Cool Edition" Where Looks Match Performance

The Tekno ET48 2.2 already had the performance. Now it has the looks. Meet our “Cool Edition” custom RC truggy—with a JConcepts F2 body, silver paint, smoked windows, and a Castle-powered 4S setup. Build your own or let Parkflyers RC build it for you: https://www.parkflyers.com/products/t... LOOKS THAT MATCH THE PERFORMANCE When we first featured the ET48 2.2, its squared-off stock body divided opinions. So we gave this 1/8-scale electric 4WD truggy a fresh look. The transformation starts with a JConcepts F2 body finished in Tamiya PS-48 silver, with PS-31 Smoke on the windows and a Parkflyers “P” vinyl appliqué completing the look. Underneath, we kept Tekno’s manual suspension setup, stock springs, and stock oils. The goal was a balanced build with the handling Marc loves—and styling that finally does it justice. In this video, Marc walks through the body makeover, tire choice, electronics, gearing, and finishing touches.
