I snapped off a rear drive shaft today, the ball end that goes into the outdrive. Lucky Mike had a spare to barrow. Are these under warranty?

They go in and out of stock all the time. I would not read into it too much.

It would be a bad business decision IMO to bring out a new version. The current one sells and there is nothing better out. They would only cut into their own sales and not the market. I would work on a design but not bring it out until their sales of the current model slow. Molds for injection molding are crazy expensive right now too.

Now a "new" model that had the thicker arms and all the lightened parts as a team version would be a good idea.

What would you change? I would like to see a beefier motor mount (bent two now) and better carriers/retainers for the anti sway bars. But really the car is both nimble and easy to drive and few kits are both.

Thanks guys for the info
But a 1st anniversary special of the eb48 buggy would be great to see !.

Check your outdrives wear. I was breaking drive shafts with the first batch of outdrives. Once they notch the ball of the drive shaft gets stock and breaks on hard landings.

Hard to say but I will not be holding my breath. I would think the new nitro buggy and e-truggy ate up most of their R&D time.

I would still like to see a split center diff housing. Changing the center diff is a pain on the eb48.

I take the whole rear suspension off and it makes it much easier..........

Yes...Split center diff please. Have been used to mugen for all these years.

That's a good idea
Does the dex408 have a split centre diff!

I know more than a few in Western Washington running them. We all like them too.

Anyone can tell me where can buy the shock tool for EB48

one poster did offer custom shock tool about two month ago here in this forum .
you need to roll back to about that date and you'll find it's picture and see some posters asking to buy from him.
Sorry i can't recall the exact page but it's about 8 weeks ago maybe more.

+1 on the APE-RC shock tool.

Is there a p/n on the EB48 velcro battery straps? They appear in step P-1 with no part number and I can't find on the Tekno site.

Thanks

TKR40007K is the part number for the straps. Unfortunately I have had so many of them rip I know that part number without looking it up... I am working on a solution that will emiminate the straps and have a carbon top strap held down with thumb screws on each end of the pack.
