Tekno RC EB48 Thread
#6662
Not a fan of the new body myself, I like the sleek lines of the top of the Tekno body. Obviously others have the opposite opinion though, and I'm glad there are starting to be more options for the car.

I like that JC Finnisher body MUCH better than their other 1/8th scale Finnisher bodies , being so narrow the squared off window and roofline look so much better IMO ......The stock EB48 body is still the best looking though .......
Hineckin , The anti-roll bar is essentially a transverse-mounted torsion bar designed to reduce body-roll during turns. It exerts no influence on the suspension when wheels bounce in unison. If vertical movement on one side exceeds the vertical movement on the other, the anti-roll bar exerts an opposing force. Along with its primary function of reducing body-roll, the anti-roll bar will also reduce the combined cornering force and the adhesion limits of the side-by-side tires that are being acted upon. Consequently, the location and stiffness of the bar can be modified to influence the oversteering or understeering characteristics of the vehicle.
A softer front bar:
1. Increases front chassis roll.
2. Increases front grip or traction, while decreasing rear grip or traction.
3. Slower steering response.
4. Increases off-power steering at corner entry.
A stiffer front bar:
1. Decreases front chassis roll.
2. Decreases front grip or traction, while increasing rear grip or traction.
3. Faster steering response.
4. Decreases off-power steering at corner entry.
A softer rear bar:
1. Increases rear chassis roll
2. Increases rear grip or traction, while decreasing front grip or traction.
3. Less on-power steering.
A stiffer rear bar:
1. Decreases rear chassis roll.
2. Decreases rear traction, while increasing front grip or traction.
3. Faster steering response in high speed corners and chicanes.
4. Increases on-power steering.

Can someone please explain the effect of swaybars on rear traction? I've gotten the suspension where I like it for the bumps and jumps. Removed antisquat, max rear toe, and rear camber at 1*. Also removed rear brace. Car is more planted than stock. I purchased all of the swaybars and want to tune with them now. Seems the threads I'm reading have opposing info, so I'm asking you guys. Thanks in advance.

With a 2mm shorter screw mine has never rubbed again. It only did it when I first took it to the track, then I fixed it.

Guess I could shim up the front body post and problem solved.

100% agree with you chris . Those cab foreward designs turns any buggy into a caterpillar like. nothing like the dex408 body, eb48 stock body comes 2nd.

Fair enough, I too am using a 14mm screw with the HB arm. My servo must be slightly taller, just enough to make the nut touch the inside of the shell on a right turn. The 'rubbing' is very slight.

For my Radiopost servo it needed 2mm off the stock screw length.
