Ok couple quickies.. putting the kit together.. not going as smooth as many others but not awful either. I must say the diff spacers in this design are a pain, but small thing.. the real issue is the arms, they should be free flowing but with a 3.5 toe setup they are locked up pretty good.. do I remove a little material or am I missing something? Is there no way to get a 3' toe? What are the inserts w/ the two dots vs the one, the manual only seems to show setups w/ the single dot on them? I also see why people say keep extra a-arms these plastics are def a different material than many other manu's.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that though 
90% done w/ the build. Bed for now..

hello guys
Hello guys!!! My name is sidney tripp an I am addicted to Rc racing.
And my 6yr son is just starting too.
I just ordered my tekno eb48.2 . Is there any building tips to look at? Diff oils? I did race kyosho buggy so I do have the springs and 1.3 x 8 pistons all ready. I have seen these buggy in action and take a lot of beatings so parts will be basic and understood. Arms -shock shafts - graphite towers only cause I like the carbon.and drive shafts. And spur. And bearings. Extra body.and the alum hinge pin mounts. What else would u all buy?

As ebuggy lite is trying to take off, does anybody make (or Tekno plan to make) a front shock/tower guard? This would both protect carbon towers if used, but also help protect the track from digging the towers into indoor dirt that probably isn't used to ebuggy towers.
Also, is there a thread I'm missing that is dedicated to the eb48 lite setups?

I have a old viper 4.5 sc motor I could throw in with a 2s to try but my buggy has been reall good in the current form.

The current spec I've seen thrown around is 3200g as max weight and many places still require 2s. That's a bit above an eb48 weight on 2s, and well above a converted sct410 with a light chassis. The class is still in the forming stages though.
