Can you elaborate on this?

By that I mean I actually think the breakage of the tower was from the shock plowing into the ground after the arm broke causing the force to be transferred to the tower. I don't blame the tower, etc. just curious if my interpretation is wrong.

I read the original post as him saying the arm and tower broke from bottoming out.

What I was saying is that the arm broke first from the landing. Then there was no support to keep the tower from driving into the ground at that point (judging by the angle of the arm break the car hit nose down on the front passenger wheel.) the edge of the tower was the next to contact the ground and with the leverage and force of the car hitting the ground on that point caused the tower to break.

cool thanks for the clarification.

Yeah in my case I watched it happen and it was the shock basically plowing into the tower after the arm was toast. My fault as I was pushing it hard to keep in position and clearing the jump with no landing and came off a bit funny, all the weight own on that one wheel, surprised only the a-arm and tower were broken and not the shock body or cvd.

How many people here add weight to the empty "brake" servo side? In the off season I want to work on balance of the vehicle relative to the lipos I own to pass the time, etc. give the vehicle a nice once over.

I have done the same thing.the arm broke & caused the shock to break the shock tower . Don't forget to check the shock . The piston & shaft guide on my shock were also damaged .

wrong post

thanks for the info!

if anyone is looking to sell tires like AKA cross braces or Proline Blockades or Proline Tazers type tread on white wheels or unmounted let me know.

I was just looking at the Joe Bornhorst setups for the ET and EB. The use of the LRC rear brace is not noted in either setup. I'm just wondering if this is assumed or if he is using the stock brace. Any thoughts?

Highspeedsentry - Joe was not using the LRC block. He was using the stock 1.5 toe block. Most of the team if not all ran the stock 1.5 for the track conditions that were racing on.

That's awesome! Just to add to the fact that you can race a bone stock tekno and kick some a$$. Keep it up fellas!

Quick question, how do u get 10 degrees of castor with this buggy? I'm using the et48 spindles and I think I'm at 15 degrees

The stock buggy is 10 I think

how many parts from the eb48.2 can be swapped with the sct410?

It's easier to tell you what parts are different. Suspension arms, hubs, spindles, all drive shafts and diff out drives are the parts that are not interchangeable, then you just have the parts on the buggy which are upgrades for the sc, I.e ally pivot balls, hinge pin hangers, milled chassis and towers etc. also something I just found out, the ally front centre driveshaft from the EB doesn't fit in the sc out drives, just going to look and see if they have different part no's

The center shafts, couplers, and outdrives are different. You can, however, swap them as a group with anything they touch. So you could use the EB rear bone, coupler and an outdrive on the rear of the center diff while using the sct versions for the front. You can NOT do that for the 4 corners, as the shafts and axles are different lengths and mount points.
