Almost finished with mine. Just need to build the shocks and install electronics. It's a nice piece of kit for sure. Every step has it's own bag which I love. Only issue I had was a incorrectly machined and bent screw. Shot an email to Tekno and they are sending me replacements. Everything went smoothly until I got to the turnbuckles. Man those turnbuckles are a #$%^&^ pain to do by hand. If you have a drill use it. Your hands will thank you.

First night out with the eb48.3 and it's great!
I'd like to tame down the steering. Our outdoor track is pretty big, pretty sticky, and has a number of mid and high-speed turns. On any of these faster turns, I'd traction roll with 100% steering throw and anything more than about 50% throttle. So, I ended up having to only use about 60-70% of the steering and very delicately use the throttle through these turns. It was costing me tons of time. The rear was a little sketchy as times as well.
I'm using the Bornhorst Souther Nats setup aside from a few minor changes of 9-9-6 diff oils, the rear chassis brace, and the 1.5mm rear diff spacer.
Any ideas on what to change first to tame down the steering?
I was thinking to first lengthen the front camber tie-rods since they're pretty short as is in this setup. Or does anyone have any other suggestions?
I'm guessing that toning down the steering will also at least partially help with the sketchy rear.

First day with the car and I love it. I started with the box setup so I could 'feel' that setup before moving to another. In box setup the car pushes some but is drivable, IMO.
Really impressed with how the car accelerates.. Like an idiot I didn't get the aluminum servo arm with the car and I stripped the stock plastic one.. other than that, the car is built proof so far..

You might get some pliers and pull on the screw as you turn it. Also, make sure you are turning the screws the right way. You have to turn the silver screws clockwise to back them out. If hole in arm is stripped, you might want to replace the arm.

Grub screws
I don't understand why there are so many grub screws on this buggy. This is my first 1/8 scale buggy build and I dont know if these are for tuning or to prevent the loss of parts if something breaks. The reason I ask is because I have no clue on which ones to tighten all the way or keep them loose.

the ones in the front spindle and the rear hubs are to keep the screws/pins in place as a back up if they tried to back out. You don't 'have' to use them, but in 1/8th scales, stuff comes apart more so than in 1/10th... more power, more stress..

yes, use a small dab on all metal to metal parts. I am using the smc 6500 and car felt great. I wanted the extra capacity for when I have to run a 10min main
