Sent protc3 a pm about purchasing his inserts. Is that the correct way to go about it? Also, I'm wondering if these inserts have been tested in the ET48?

+1.5 is STD on the 48.2; but yes, it is the +1.5 stock part.

for your setup with the 1.2 x 8 hole piston in the rear, would you recommend this for conditions that are very very rutted or would say the 1.3 x 8 hole setup be better on the rear?

and if so, any suggestions on what spring and oil weight combo to use?

Yes that is the correct way, he is VERY helpful. Give him some time as he is a business owner and most likely fairly busy

So if you are using the centre dot pill the total toe will be 4 degrees.

You can use the sct 410 body mounts and just trim them down a bit........

This is the best setup I've found for any outdoor condition... I've hit several tracks different days different moistures blown out not blown out... it's just dialed. I swap tires per conditions but setup has yet to be tweaked again. Tq and 2nd tonight; threw the fastest lap and top 5 fastest laps of any vehicle including nitro buggies with a pile of outstanding drivers (the next fastest was my et48 that took the win). I had a couple tangle ups that just cost me too much time early in the race to catch back up.. got it close though I guess the one good thing, I lost to another tekno :P

Yup, mind you LRC pills in the rear and lowest setting the rear front pills.

Not sure if I noted this on the setup sheet... no center brace and rear brace is in place, but not screwed into the rear diff case up top.

I run the same LRC setup in my truggy and everyone is amazed by how well it handles.. so yes and yes they work well. Same setup lowest position on the front rear pills and the lrc rear pills.

this came up a few pages back, so I contacted TEKNO direct and was told by thomas that the pics in the first page and the eb48 manual are incorrect, with the 1.5 hanger I was told to refer to the NB48 manual it is correct and the eb48 manual and set up sheets will be corrected in future printings, here is a snap shot of it. and it shows the center dot being 3.5 deg.

So this picture shows the toe in with the 1.5 rear block fitted, correct? Just looked at the first page of the sct, and they don't add up right either! This needs sorting.

yes as quoted to me by tekno, the nb48 set up sheets reflect the newer 1.5 rear hanger and the degrees shown are correct.

A while back I mentioned I was going to try the durango 18T aluminum pinion and a few of you wanted me to post results, I found it to be super smooth and quiet, and the weight savings are very noticeable on acceleration and braking (actually had to turn the brakes down on sct), I ran it for 3 nights in my sct 410 and my eb48 on high bite clay with some hard on throttle landings, and it shows no signs of wear, I wish they made it in a 17t though as 18t is a little too tall for my sct, see the weight savings as compared to my 17t pinion, below
