And then you have the convenience item of the split center diff, which is a must for maintenance reasons. And you also have the .3 trailing spindles. It's debatable if these are needed though.

*****Posted this in the EB48SL thread, but it doesn't get near as much traffic as this thread, so figured I'd post it here as well, one additional comment for this thread, I wish my EB48.3 was a little lighter, be nice if it was a bit closer to 3200g*****
I weighed my buggies and just thought you guys might find it interesting.
EB48SL - HW XERUN pro SCT esc, Tekin 3300kv, 6500mah 3s vant lipo, DS1015 servo
EB48.3 - Tekin RX8G2, Tekin 2050kv T8i, Vant 6500mah 4s lipo, DS1015 servo
I'm interested in trying to get the SL up to 3200g, i'm switching to a Tekin Pro 4 HD 3000kv motor that will add 28g, so I think I'm down to needing 116g to reach 3200g. Any recommendations on what to use to add 116g?
Thanks.

I had an issue the other day with my eb48.3 on race day.
The bladder on the rear right hand side kept "popping out" thus emptying the oil completely after a short while.
It did this a few times and I couldn't explain why. I properly bleed it when I assembled it with no rebound whatsoever. I even managed to feel the bladder pop out of it's place when testing the shock still in my hands by pushing up and down fast. When I was slow I could go full stroke easily and when I push harder suddenly it when plop and oil was pouring on the side hole. I redid it again and so far no problem but I can figure what went wrong. Any ideas ?
Thanks

thanks for all the tips on the shock bladders . I'll try the trick not to fully compress them when assembly. The whole kit is still pretty new. The bladders had maybe 3hours of runtime max total (two races a a couple of training).

Quick question likely answered somewhere but I couldn't find it:
I upgraded my EB48.2 to the .3 (mostly) and I also have a 410.3 Even thought the front and rear shocks are slightly different lengths between these two vehicles, they use the same springs right?

(the rear bodies and shafts on the SCT are the same as the front on the buggy. Keep appropriate springs though.) Now you have spare shocks for the front of the SCT since you did the upgrade on the buggy.

Not really. I usually set my current limited to around 70 which I think you can do without having the Hotwire programmer. Make sure the low volt cutoff is set to 4s, and that you don't have any timing added.

I'm having a problem with one of my rear shocks and i haven't been able to figure it out yet. The bladder keeps getting dislodged and oil comes out the breather hole. I tried a new bladder thinking that would help because the old one was a little swelled up. It did not help.
I'm not running shock boots but neither are any of my other teknos and i am not having that problem with them or the other shocks on this buggy.
wow didnt see this a few posts up. I'll try this

Well used bladders are hard to seal correctly as they have expanded. Also, with no rebound, it is possible that you're sucking enough to pull the bladder out of perfect seal when at full shock length. The tighter you get the cap when there isn't oil between the bladder and cap, the less likely you are to have issues. If you're going to re-use bladders, the only way that generally works is the method as shown by Lutz in the Tekno shock video.
