Tekno RC EB48 Thread
I was surprised how well my tekno eb48 held up at psycho nitro blast. I put the .1 version diff case in and added our home made brace and didn't have any problems out of the buggy itself. I hit the chassis on the big vertical double and hurt the esc. Other than that the buggy survived pnb with my poor driving.
Just as a precautionary measure I would loop the motor wires around to the other side of the solder tabs leaving some wire slack. Especially when running the thinner more flexible BCE chassis. The EB48 flexes quite a bit and you really don't want anything pulling or pushing on the solder poles on a RX8.

I didn't really make any setup changes from my normal outdoor setup and the buggy handled great all weekend. It would hold the line as hard as I was able to push it within my skill set.
Dont know the weights of the Tekno CF tower but if its 4mm and the 5mm is 25% thicker at 5mm then it would be 25% heavier. Weigh your CF tekno tower and multiply by 1.25. That should be a reasonable estimate.
Tekno said that there was a bad batch of the .2 cases that was injected/molded at a lower temperature than normal thus causing them to fail at the top ears of the case. I ran the .1 cases at psycho nitro blast because it seemed people haven't had as many problems with them compared to the .2 diff case. I'm not sure if the .1 case is stronger or not. I do know the two guys I pitted with both broke .2 cases in pro e buggy class during psycho nitro blast. They both where able to finish the race because of the metal brace they run.
