When I got this buggy I picked up 65 sec in a 5min qual .. was running a losi 2.0e now I run with the fast guys and sometimes beat them now.

Ha ha, I probably would have seen that kind of improvement if I could actually drive and knew more about set ups!

Ah well, being a beginner is still fun.

I have some of tekno's CNC 8x1.4 Has anyone ran them with good results. I'm running CSI blue 37.5/32.5 Has anyone ran both of these or thoughts?
thanks in advance

well depending on what csi blues you have I would think that fluid combination is way too heavy. I am running the vports and I am 30 and 27.5

I cant wait till I get my new buggy I hope th order comes soon I am dieing to run it

Yea tell me about it. Been waiting more than a month now. Tekno kept telling me one more week and now they said a couple more weeks last Tuesday, apparently manufacturing issues. My guess is they r concentrating on the NB48, which is cool and all but don't forget about us.

well ant the nb48 and et nt 48 coming out same time

You guys haven't been forgotten.

I have the 8-port. I cant complain about them at all. I found that the heavier the oil the better they worked out. That oil weight is all around good for where i run. Indoor has some air with flat landings and the outdoor is spot on for that weight. The vports are a little different, they work better at a thinner oil compared to the old version (8-port).

does anyone have a list of parts that are compatible with the short course and the eb48???

I was thinking about converting mine to a sct.....not much ebuggy up here...

I may even just throw on the DE 17mm sct wheels and call it done...

I thought about putting the hexes on a lathe and buzzing them down a bit...maybe 2mm on each side......

But a conversion parts list would be nice.

From what I understand the NB48 is coming out in a month or so and then the ET/NT in October-ish. So going from 2 kits to 6 kits in 14 months could easily make the whole manufacturing process just a little bit more complicated for a team of 4 to handle (if this # is true, btw Ill quit my career as a VP in enterprise tech sales if you need people ha) and I know they can not predict manufacturing issues across the Pacific but I would perfect it before releasing all these kits and having a lot of unhappy people waiting months to receive their orders.

Trust me, this is all love for Tekno I have sold every RC I have to go 100% Tekno, I'd much rather keep my $ with a small independent entrepreneur but don't lose touch with the attention to detail and customer service that got you to where you are today.

After a whole mess of oil combinations, that is where I ended up too. 30 F / 27.5 R. I'm using AE oils so if you are using Losi, mine would have a bit more pack. What springs are you having success with? I've been trying everything. Lastnight I ran Yellow F / Red R. These CSI Blue V-Ports are very tricky to tune in my opinion, but when you get a setup that works, they work pretty well.

With the V-port, how do you stop the membrane from collapsing? Foam?

I dont think the csi pistons have enough blow by. The tolerance between shock bore and piston diameter is too tight. They just don't feel smooth to me.

I think the tekno machined 8x1.3s are the ticket.
