Hi Joe

What track are you referring to in your EB/811 comparison? Curious where this large outdoor track is? Shiverville or Tallahassee?

I run at Mills Ponds, one of the premier 8th scale tracks in FL and it's good to know where there are other quality 8th scale facilities. Thanks.

Joe and I run at B & B Hobbies about 45 minutes north of Tampa.

You can turn down the current limiter in your ESC. Also check to see if your radio has a traction control function. I use both. I usually set CL to 85%. If I'm still pinning the tires everywhere I keep turning it down until I feel the car is driveable. Then I fine tune the response with my radio.

We did 10 hours of endurance on this track in the wet last sunday so it doesn't look as fresh as usualy . But it provides massive grip and tire wear for sure

It definitely was a great time, the EB48 is selling well here as we only have a 1/8 buggy national championship in electric. It should do great in the winter also on astro tracks.

I won't buy one now but might switch for a tekno conversion for my JQ. Once the EB48 will be more mature I will give it a go then.

If you plan on sticking with savox servos make sure it has harden steel gears the model should be ***SG, for example, I've owned 6 SC-1268SG servos over the last 2-3 years and not one of them has failed.

stay away from the models ending in xxxxTG or xxxxMG
Nick Thanks a lot, I will look into changing this.

Working on my build, center diff appears to be rubbing on the top diff plate. Does this mean that perhaps i have the 6 shims wrong? or does something need to be shaved down?
