I'm not an expert, but I'm going to give this one a shot, somebody else please comment as well.

Based on the track layout I found on youtube, it looks like there's a bunch of short runup areas and off camber turns making you slow down with only the straight allowing for a wide open run. As a result, I would think power to be more important than ultimate top speed (provided you can make the tires stick to use it), so I'd probably start with a 17t pinion when using those motors, though 18 would probably also be ok with a bit more top end (I plan on 18 at my local track).

Will anyone be racing this new EB48 at the electric Nats??

Agreed, start with 17 and go up from there if you need straight away speed. You could also keep the 17 and dial in a little progressive timing (not sure what they call it on the Tekin).

Joho, glad the build went well for you!

I would imagine Austin Blair should be running a EB48 next week when the do 8thscale and SC. Right Danny?

Austin Blair will be there racing it as well as several intermediate/expert drivers.

mine should be on its way to the lhs. I've got a couple more questions

is the mechanical brake set up available yet?

what is the f/r diff ratio, so I can plug numbers into a speed calculater

what most people running as far as center and rear brace options. I'm thinking starting with just the rear.

I saw the manual diff oils are 5/7/3, what calls thought on 773 or 553 these are what I'm used too.

what are the stock springs like, soft/med/hard.

I think that's all. just going to work on a base setup. can't wait to try it out and for next year. this will be my first 1/8 that isn't second hand. this year was a bad racing year. I pretty much finished last at all major races due to lack of wheel time due to a new job in oil drilling. hopefully the new buggy and purchase of vrc (to practice at work) will make 2013 a good year.

Maybe a 16t for a 2250kv? Same here I'll be using it for the Norcal track. I finished my build last night. All electrics are in except for the used motor[Tekin 2250kv] I'm expecting tomorrow. I only have a 16t for the meantime. Hoping thats a good start. Excellent kit. It was pleasure to build. Got some spoke wheelset like the old Kyosho Kanai and all set to rip once the track[Norcal] is finished redesigning their 8th scale track

15 or 16 will be good for NorCal. I'd lean toward the 15.

Mechanical brake set up should be available soon. Keep checking the site for info.

You really need to run the front brace. Not running the other two is a good place to start. Add from there.

Stock springs are in the med range. We offer lighter and harder option sets.

We will be posting a filled in set-up sheet with a great indoor set-up on it after the nats. It will be great for most indoor clay tracks - stay tuned.

thanks.

I run mostly on a rough dusty/loose track here in Texas. not too many smooth tracks over here.

I'll make sure we post one for both conditions

not sure if I missed it but I didn't see a baseline for ride height in the manual. I am also running at Norcal, hopefully this weekend I put a 17 in with my Tekin 2050, have to see what it does...

28mm rear, 26mm front is a good starting point. From there, if you need more steering -> raise the rear or lower the front. If you need more traction -> raise the front or lower the rear.
