Just got the kyosho universals yesterday. Perfect length. Only problem is the hole for the hex pin is 2.5mm and tekno pins are 3mm. Options are to drill out the hole or buy kyosho hexes and pins. In the process of drilling mine out but kyosho hexes are in stock at dollar hobbyz for $4 a set. Will try them out this weekend.

When I ran universals I ran the Kyosho unis and Kyosho hexes. I didn't care for them. They made the car transfer weight weird. The car drove around the track dragging its rear around. That was early tho. I'm interested to see what comes up now that people have had the kits and setups have evolved.

Finally made the decision to fulfill one of childhood desires, getting my own 1/8th scale buggy, slight twist since there will be no nitro powering this one.
Local hobby shop, Nor Cal Hobbies, made a great deal on a package buy and before I knew what I was doing, I said "Order it up!"
Sadly, it has to come out West from the East coast or midewest warehouse so I might have it by Friday if all goes well. Nearly bought a 48SL but in the end the idea of all the upgrades for a slight bit more money won me over, thanks Rcgod!
Having read through most of the Tekno threads I have a feeling for the brand and what things to look our for so I had a strong list of items that should serve me well for our 2S indoor track.
- Tekno 48.3 Buggy
- Tekin Pro4 HD 4,300 KV
- Tekin RX8 Gen 2
- (2) Trinity 100C 2S 7,700 MAH lipo
- Savox SB-2282SG
- Proline Electrons, inserts and wheels
- Tekno Aluminum Servo Horn
I was not sure what pinion to have them set aside, I was guessing in the 16-19 range but not certain. What would folks suggest for a fairly small indoor clay track on 2S? I am also ordering the delrin shock internal set and probably some extra diff silicone oils to play with the power distribution. I will build everything else bone stock until I know what it may need for the track I run on. Anything else folks would suggest looking at prior to spending the time it takes to get it built?

I'd order a few extra screws for the diff cases. I've had a few strip and if you're going to be playing with your oils I'd make sure they are in good shape every time you put the diffs back together.

Been racing my EB48.3 indoors lately and I have struggled with this vehicle the most out of any of my Tekno line up. Week by week I'm making small adjustments which seem to help bit it's not as dialed as my ET48.3 or SCT410.E yet. I have to drive it pretty aggressively and get it sliding around to do 180 degree turns well. I'm also getting wheelies when powering on after a jump, not sure if this is a suspension set up issue.

Very new to three diff setups using silicone opposed to ball diffs. Having poured over multiple mfg of indoor clay track setups, I found the Tekno a bit lacking for setup sheets so stole from some other mfg, I am thinking of building my kit with a heavy front weight bias. I believe the kit comes with only 5K weight, I plan to grab most weight between 3K and 10K to play with on and off power steering. Our track is pretty small with lots of sharp turns and a few 180's. The new setup even has a massive banked sweeper that was giving some drivers fits for on power steering.
Does anyone have a good resource for tuning with silicone oil in 1/8th scale buggy differentials?
