I doubt there is even enough room on the chassis to do that , not to mention it would screw up the balance that Tekno has worked so hard to achieve .......

There is enough room to run the 2 2S packs as he has shown in the pics. I have mine in the same way but Im nervous about running a jumper wire that close to the driveline. I want to see a close up of how he ran the wires.

Default Driving impressions

How about some early driving impressions from those who already have your kits built. How did the EB48 compare to your old rig on the track? Any difference in your lap times? Did you change your driving style? More or less confidence? Too early to tell?

I am done with my build and am racing it tonight at a local indoor club.

The kit is great and i am a happy customer!

But does have a few minor things to watch out for. When running full droop the tires hit the mudguards while in the air under power. I am running proline wheels with hole shot tires. The mudguards could be easily trimmed for clearance. I just took mine off for now.

Also I did need to sand the front hubs down for clearance because they were sticking when turned right or left all the way (noted a few post ago).

Check out the manual update on their site. It mentions how tight the caps should be. My back shocks leaked past the bladder, so i just went a little tighter on the cap when i tried a second time.

I did have a lot more bleed through the bleeder caps than I thought I should have. Not terrible but still there, I found pushing the blatter down onto the shock body with my finger real well before installing the cap helped.

Might be worth taking off the o-ring on top of the shock body and using Teflon tape on the treads to seal it.
