Well I qualified 2nd in SC yesterday at G`s Raceway in PA. and finished 2nd, the truck was good, but the driver wasn't.
I also ran my EB-48, I qualified 3rd. and Won. The buggy jumped great and turned awesome. I moved the rear hubs all the way forward and took the rear toe to 2.5. With the help of my VP PRO tires I was hooked up and the buggy felt like it was in the track...............on another note I saw another guy running the buggy and he broke a shock tower, have any of you seen this before? I was truly shocked!

Need a recommendation from some of the experienced racers. I'm about to order my buggy and I'd like to order the proper pistons / springs / sway bars for my track at the same time. Rarely does a kit setup work on my track. It's a fairly large outdoor track, very hard packed, very dusty, and rutted something fierce.
I'm not sure what to order since I don't know what comes in the box. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance for the help

If I recall correct, I think the vehicle comes with 1.2 x 10 hole pistons? You may find a piston switch can benefit, going to the 1.3 x 8 holes. If Tekno is out of stock, Kyosho white ones fit fine, those are what I am using.

For springs, you may find a benefit to mirroring Austin Blairs setup. I don't recall if Tekno has the weights the same as he used available, but a variety of manufacturers have springs close to what he used his vehicle. For me, I went Hot Bodies White 60mm springs up front (4.54 lbs-in) and Hot Bodies Blue 76mm springs on the rear (3.53 lbs-in). These fit nice, and are a bit shorter than some other springs out there to get some more ride height adjustment room if needed.

Xray springs in the Grey-Blue Fronts (4.568 lbs) and Blue Rears (3.4831 lbs-in) also work on the buggy. These are what I had originally on, albeit, more expensive.

You may also want to pick up a variety of sway bars as well.

If i'm running the stock 10 hole pistons. If I flip them is there a big difference in pack or will it be the same?? Or should I run thicker oil?

Thanks! Do you remember which springs and sway bars are included in the kit? Want to make sure I don't end up with 2 of the same.

You might want to look at CSI pistons. Another guy on here turned me onto them. I must say i was really surprised how well they were working out. Im running the Blue right now. For springs, I would get them all from pink up honestly. Stock yellow springs worked out at a large outdoor track that sounds like something like yours. Sway bars....got them all and i still run 2.4 rear and bounce 2.2-2.3 up front

The updated front skid from Tbone Racing turned up yesterday. Installed, no dramas. Would have been nice to have had it installed from the start, but it's only seen two days at the track, still early days.

has anyone tried a spectrum s8000 steering servo? my savox 1256 took a dump with only 4 packs thru it,something inside let go,first one i have that failed. the spectrum is very tall and i think i will have body interference issues,i have the linkage under the servo horn but im not sure that will work when the alum horn gets installed...

I was looking at those. They describe the black ones a being for my track. I think I'm going to try the other pistons Tekno offers first
