Like driving on sandpaper, only 6 packs on the tires holding up pretty good, almost no loam left on the track, gonna try Hybrids thanks

I just finished rebuilding my shocks that I haven't touched in at least 4 months. I run indoors without shock boots and I just had the slightest bit of dirt in the oil, just at the end of draining the shock body...awesome! Love my eb48.2!

On to the pics...









I've also spent a great deal of time tuning the center diff and suspension set-up. Looking forward to my next track day
Pics look good! Where are you running 1/8 lite at? Why did you switch out your gear? We're you having issues? I have been thinking about doing the same thing to my sct410...

If you can do it and not burn them up, try black hybrids. They are mega soft and really hook up. If the track is too abrasive, go with the greens.

Thanks! I really enjoy 1/8 eBuggy but didn't have a place to track/race one since WCRC closed. When I 1st saw the Buggy Lite conversions I confirmed I could run one at my local 1/10 track (SCVRC) and pulled the trigger on the build. Figure I can also make the drive to OCRC on occasion.

I went budget at 1st and got a used VTX8 and a lighter duty Spektrum servo but after my first track day I wasn't as enthusiastic on that setup. I like the Viper, it's very tunable but (maybe I'm just too use to the feel of Tekin) it just didn't feel right to me. Could be because it was used and had issues. The servo just wasn't strong enough.

I guess hybrids are pretty popular back order on a few sites no local shops carry them here have to be patient i guess.

Gotcha. Ya it's a shame that WCRC is no longer around. You could also try IERC & SDRC, they usually have a good 1/8 class & I know IERC runs a 1/8 lite class for sure.

On the setup sheets, under "Shocks", we have the:

STD/EMUL/VENT options.

On a lot of setup sheets, both here on the forum and Tekno's website, "STD" appears to be quite common.

My kit came "standard" with vented caps.

To try one of the other options:

-emulsion
-non-vented

...you'd have to purchase either some optional, non-vented caps and/or o-rings or even the composite caps with bleeder screws and o-rings.

I went to the non-vented caps and use "STD" on my setup sheets, whereas before that I used "VENT" when using the standard (stock) vented caps.

Is this correct? If so, is everyone who puts "STD" on their setup sheets buying the optional non-vented caps? Or are they using "STD" to denote the "standard" as that which came in the kit (vented caps)?

Thanks - Jim

Hmm, I forgot about IERC. It's a bit of a drive but it seems to be a nice venue. I'll have to make plans to check it out.

By dirt do you mean clay?
