any idea when Gp or Hrp(distributors) will be receiving their shipment?

Sorry to bore everyone who already has a kit with news about shipping, but for those who ordered from RPP Hobby, the kits are in stock. If everything goes smoothly, our kits should ship out the day they get them in (like the previous email said).

Wait...I just said they got them in...that means my kit should ship out today

Hot Diggity Dog!!!

Wheel nuts are same as d8
Wing holes are closer together than d8
Axles are different and will not work
spares are on their website, seem pretty standard

And I have a mamba monster NIB (warranty replacement) for $130 shipped if you are interested

Almost Done with build, just working on electronics install and final touches. Very impressed with just about everything, noticed all kinds of trick design and function touches as I was building, very nice!

I also had an issue with cleaning up the moulding plastic on the pistons, didn't come out as clean as I wanted, my own fault. Also seemed like the shock caps need to be pretty snug to not leak past bladders.

Have to paint my body so I can drive it this weekend, can't wait, going to be a looooong work week.

Ok so how do you get the center diff out quickly? I took the top plate off and removed the two screws on the back bearing mount.

But cant get it out. Whats a better way.

What is the width of the chassis with the mud/side guards mounted? I wonder if the FTW Exabyte body for the D8 conversion would fit (it is about 15.5 cm wide).

Less than 5in at the widest point, or in your case less than 13cm. (12.5cm to be exact)

Someone posted on this already, but the Tekno wing mount for the D8 is narrower than the stock D8. So Losi, Mugen, Kyosho, etc wings should fit without modification. It seems only the D8 wings have the wide holes.

Long story short, your wing should fit without issue.

Anybody????? Tekno?

Stormer charged my card this morning. Waiting for a tracking number now...

Their site shows 4 in stock in case anyone is looking.

According to this, if you're using a 340g motor you need a 505g pack to balance the car.

Not to be rude, but it's not all that hard to figure it out for yourself. Just find the weight for your motor, servo, esc, receiver ect. and make sure its as close to the weight of your battery and brake servo(if your using one). If you want to get really in depth, also take into consideration, the motor mount, the slightly greater amount of chassis on the battery side and the fact that the weight of the battery is slightly further away from the center of the chassis than the motor. This way you can test every set-up you can think of on your own.
Personally, I go by what Tekno has in the description of the buggy: Tekin system(as you mentioned) and a battery 500-600g. If you don't feel like doing all of these calculations, I believe with the most seemingly unbalanced setup on the EB48, you'll probably end up being as balanced as all of the other guys on the track.
For example: I'm pretty sure Austin Blair(without changing anything else) has gone between the two pro-tek 4100 packs(438g) and the big 6400 brick(653g) without any issues.

oops, didn't read it was a tekno wing mount for d8...
I also read all the way through the addendum and saw where it mentioned tight on shock caps, went back through mine to check. Just need to paint the body and I am ready to roll!
