Good to know!!

I just went from a tekin 2050 to the reds 1900 as well. It's very smooth on a RX8g2 and having the sensor wire by the posts is a life saver in the EB48.

how come towerhob has the eb48.2 cheaper than amain ? is it the lastest version or an oldest .2 ?

Says their out of stock, as their on BO at Tekno. So im sure its the latest kit. Price isn't out of the norm, were close to that.

Just finished my .2 build I got from Tower. (bout 2 weeks ago) It was the latest kit with the non-vented caps AFAIK.

The Tekno vehicles often get rolling updates as things come out. Tower often does promotions just to move more inventory and they aren't tied to those updates as part numbers don't change or become discontinued. I wouldn't read into it too much. The eb48.2 is the current/latest Tekno eBuggy kit.

Anyone have problems with the fitment of the locking shock rod ends and the XT arms?
Using the standard, "top" position, the rod ends hit the arms enough that I cant use the CW/CCW lower screws. I have to use a regular bolt and force it on.

I had the same problem. I just dremeled the arm so it would fit.

The new "revised" arms, PN:TKR5030B and TKR5036B, have more clearance around the shock perch area and won't cause any interference. Dremeling your current arms will work just fine and you shouldn't experience any issues from the removal of material.

Those are the arms included in the latest .2 kits? They were on mine.

Its not the spring perch thats the issue, its that the shock/rod end included with the locking spring cups are really thick and hitting the inner part of the arm where it sits in the arm. I just dremeled it and only needed a very slight amount of material removed. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy.

Has anyone had issues with the rear diff out drives wearing out quickly? I haven't ran this buggy that much and they already look like this, other diffs are fine. Opened diff and everything looks and operates fine.

Any ideas on causes?

I never seen any wear like that before. Make sure the wheels are not rubbing anything, or bad axle bearings. Make sure they turn free while its apart, with the tires on and nut tight.

I saw that on an early set of diff cups I was using. Maybe you got a bad batch?

I would contact Tekno.

The first run EB48s had that problem due to a heat treating issue with the outdrives. Tekno switched to new materials and I have not seen one with that issue since. The car that I run on average of 5 packs a week still has the same outdrives in it from a year ago when I first built it

Has anyone tried a different or modified wing mount to drop it down a bit lower?
