Then we thought, “why not make it even easier for our customers to get what they want and offer a full blown SL kit?”  Enter the EB48SL.  Tekno RC was the first company to offer a purpose built 1/8th electric buggy when it hit the scene a few years ago.  And now we’ve done it again with the first purpose built ‘Super Light’ 1/8th electric buggy.  The EB48SL is built on the new SCT410.3 platform and shares ~95% parts compatibility with it.  All of the new improvements and features put into the SCT410.3 are all present in the EB48SL, along with a couple others specifically for the buggy.

The EB48SL represents a new and emerging class that is far more accessible to more people just starting out in the class.  Batteries, motors, and parts are less expensive than their full weight 1/8th cousins.  The kit itself is also an undeniable value and is backed by the best customer service in the industry.

But enough of that – how does it perform on the track?  ‘Easy to drive fast’ would be the best way to describe the SL.  Full traction patch of a 1/8th scale tread with much less weight and a touch less power results in maximum traction and corner speed.  The EB48 is known for it’s steering, jumping ability, and efficiency and the SL continues this legacy.

Lightened differentials, lightened driveline, and lightened aluminum parts are standard and used throughout.  16mm bore, aluminum threaded body, long travel shocks are standard.  Updated SCT410.3 suspension geometry is standard.  Split center diff mount and lightened chassis are standard.  This is how we say ‘thank you’ to our customers, by providing maximum performance at a reasonable price.

THIS IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR THE EB48.2.  THIS IS A NEW 1/8th BUGGY KIT FOR AN EMERGING RACE CLASS.
