Ordered my ET48.3 2 weeks ago and got a couple extra bodies with it. There aren't any other options available that I know of for the electric truggy, but these look great, are fairly cheap and are great quality. I'm about to order my 4th one in 2 weeks! I like having several different paint schemes to choose from... UPDATE: After running my truck about 25 packs at the local outdoor track, and crashing and landing on my lid probably 100 times, the first body lasted about 15 packs before it cracked along the window lines from the roof down. It's still technically useable, but I've moved on to number 2 out of 4 that I have. Plus with Tekno's awesome warranty program, you can even send worn out bodies back to them and they will sell you replacements for 50% off. Ove ordered and built 3 Tekno kits in the last 2 months because I'm so sold on them. It's a great company that makes in my opinion the best all around vehicles on the market if you want ones that can win races but still take a beating. They are the only ones I know of that can do both... I've broken one part between my ET48.3, EB48.4 and SCT410.3 so far, and I send it like crazy over the jumps on the track...
The body looks really nice HOWEVER IT DOESN'T FIT .THIS BODY DOES NOT FIT MY ET48 2.0. ITS LONG ENOUGH BUT NOT WIDE ENOUGH .
These are stock TEKNO ET48.3 body and it's the only one that fits the chassis without modification. These look really slim and flimsy but it is actually sturdy! Amainhobbies has great price on these so I picked up two while I had a chance. with some shoe goo and dry wall tape, I look forward to bashing these!
Be warned, does not fit the modern et48 2.2 model. Figured that one out after spending all the time to paint it. I've heard you can swap out the shock tower to the older 2.0 and have it fit, so I'm gonna try that when the tower comes in and I'll update this if successful.
Very nice and stout body this should be able to take a beating and is not to bad to paint and i thought doe to it being narrow would make it tough but it was not and but i did not mask the windows so im not sure about that part . I did a Tekno MT410 chassis lengthen and this fit perfect with a bit of mod to the body mounts. Yes i would recommend this to anyone with a ET48.3 or if you mod the MT410 or may fit others as well.
Reviewers largely praise the body's durability and value, with one owner reporting it lasted about 15 packs of heavy bashing before cracking along the window lines. Fit is the main point of disagreement: it is described as the stock fit for the ET48.3 and fits without modification, but two reviewers report it does not fit the ET48 2.0 (too narrow) or the modern ET48 2.2, the latter after a full paint job. One reviewer reports it fit a lengthened MT410 chassis with minor body-mount modification. Reviewers note it looks slim but is sturdy, and that it is reasonably easy to paint.
