Center Brace
In all Tekno vehicles including EB48.3, there is a front and rear mounting points on top of the stock front and rear chassis brace.
I developed bar made out of carbon fiber to reinforce the chassis flex. It will be like a center connecting chassis brace.
My engineering degree tells me it will serve the purpose of preventing the center shaft drive from bending in bad crashes.
Also it is a good mounting bar for a motor cooling fan.
Does anyone have in-depth experience or knowledge behind the center brace on RC cars?
BMW M3 and M4 have huge carbon fiber brace in the front hood as a strut bar
Would center brace help with durability or sensitivity in the handling?
Anyone who can explain benefits and cons would be appreciated.
Any input would be great because I am trying to develop the prototype for fellow TEKNO drivers.

But truthfully I think the chassis brace is a good idea but more for certain tracks where there aren't a lot of high frequency bumps like you get on dirt or rougher clay tracks. I could see the brace working better for carpet or turf

Is it worth buying the new ackermann plate for my eb48.3 and et48.3? For those who have tried the new ackermann, what are the advantages and differences from the old plate?
#2754
I installed it on my SCT410.3, but I also threw a completely different set up on it. My first thought was it was better than before, but I'm not sure it can be attributed to the ackerman alone. I have another ackerman I have yet to install on my .3, but I don't drive it much in winter as my EB48.2-SL is faster indoors

Tested the jconcepts s1 body yesterday. Switched between that and the stock body a few times. There is a difference in handling. With the s1 body the car felt more planted, more downforce. Plus I could drive harder due to it being more stable around corners. Seriously a must have for serious racers. Not exaggerating.

good job ! I also built a center brace with a steel pipe because I bent a center driveshaft. My channel will tell you why I need this...
the tekno are indeed very durable which is incredible because they are also very stiff ! I made my mugen very durable with soft parts !

I really enjoyed building the EB48.3, quality components, nice tolerances just went together smoothly. Appreciated all the advice and tips I found on this forum which certainly helped. So far only managed a few runs and club days but really impressed with the durability.
I've optioned up a few parts and running the Outdoor setup on a med bite outdoor track slightly dusty. The car jumps and lands very nicely but is a little loose in the rear mid corner so trying the dial it down a fair bit so that I have more control and get some consistency.
Only part that I consider average quality are the shock boots, two where split before I even ran the buggy and the other two where went soon after.
I trialled a few other brand boots and found the Team Associated boots for the RC8 (Pt No:ASC89058 / ASC89059) fit nicely and are more durable, look good too.

I will say, the stock boots feel slightly thinner than the spare parts boots. There are a few tricks to keep them in good shape including doing the same thing you do for tires. Take a leather punch and put a 2mm or so hole near the very top, right below the support ring. This allows air in and out as the shock is compressed/decompressed. When you assemble it, keep that pointing to the back.

I have always run all 3 chassis braces. I know a lot of people run the front brace only. I have not tried it for fear of breaking something since there are a few big jumps at our track. For those who have run it with and without the braces, is is much better without the center and rear braces? Thanks in advance!
