Daniel - Have you guys experimented at all running dogbones in the rear to help lock it in rather than the CVDs? Coming from the HB D8 with the Lightning Pro conversions many folks found the dogbones helped lock in the rear. I also saw Losi has a dogbone option set for the rear end on the 3.0.
Is there a Tekno rear axle with a cup that fits in the captured CVD rear hubs (large inner bearing, smaller outer bearing). The Losi 3.0 one may work, as they also use a captured CVD. Don't know if their dogbone length would work either, but that's the easy part - lots of different length dogbones out there.

No, i've only broken those things due to my own stupidity. First arm i broke i was coming into a double section, and i totally nailed a turned over buggy in the middle of the landing. All you heard was a super loud smack. Surprised that was the only thing i broke after such a huge hit. I mean, it just stopped instantly as soon as it hit, no cushion or anything. Second breakage i ever had was me going over a tabletop/step on step off section. Car went off, accidentally hit the brakes and buggy just completely lawn-darted into a pipe. It's been very durable for me and has taken plenty of hard hits without breaking.

Ive asked this before but I'll ask again....
Any plans for optional caster blocks? Id really like to have that tuning option. I changed caster all the time on my old MBX6 and really miss it on this car.
Would like to see them for both the eb48 and the sct410.

We're almost finished with an aluminum design that will offer 13 and 16 degrees of caster. Stock is 10-12 (with kickup adjustments). We thought about 12 and 14, but we like the wider range of the 13 and 16 degree. No release date or price has been determined but we're a few months away at least.

How to remove shock caps
It's time to rebuild the shocks on my EB48. I'm trying to unscrew the top cap from the body using a 3/16 hex tool through the hole, with no luck. I guess I must have tightened it a lot more than I thought. The body is pretty much circular with no good place to hold it in place with a wrench. Any ideas how to unscrew the cap? Thanks.

They are very beefy, but eventually something will break. Our local hobby shop and track doesn't stock tekno either (hopefully soon because we'll have 5 vehicles now very shortly), and there is nothing worse than going home because you don't have parts. Also, work together with other local tekno guys as a mini informal team to keep a variety of parts between you.

+ front shock tower. Both local drivers (myself and another) have broken one. They snap following the thinner part of the metal where the shocks mount. I believe both of ours were impact related. I hit a SCT that jumped the wrong direction onto the straight and I can only assume I went "under" the front of the SCT with the brunt of the impact on the tower. I also picked up the rod ends, shock repair kit and bottom shock spring holder as well (had one fall off).
