I started with Joes Southern Nats and made a few changes.
Front arm shock mount is A.
2mm rear wheel offset.
Front shock 32.5 AE
Rear shock 37.5 AE
Diff 7,10,3 AE
Track is outside smedium dusty hard packed clay, sometimes wet. I guess about medium grip.
I tried calibers, subcultures, hole shots, crime fighters, sweeps, all about half worn.
I did notice the servo saver could be made tighter. That might help. I'll try that next time I race.
Anyone have any ideas what I need to change to get this car around wide turns? It pushes when turning on power.

if you haven't already, look on the first page of this thread. There are several handle build tips that will ease the process. Like the chamfers on the dif case to ease the shim insertion.

Shock bladders!?!?!? Has anyone or does anyone know if other shock bladders work for the eb48.3? I'm trying to stock up on bladders cause they rip or get big after a few changes and don't seal. So instead of getting the tekno one that comes as a rebuild kit, I just want the bladders, but unfortunately they don't sell those alone. I'm thinking other 1/8th bladders would work. Because I see other companies sell like 8 packs for like 6 bucks vs 2 and rebuild kit for like 9 bucks.
Thanks

and by default, these would be a cheap option then:

Ran against some Tekno's today, track with small jumps mainly a driving track, that battery upfront definitely gave an advantage with on power steering.
If Tekno makes an EB48.4 version, I hope they look into including what has become some of the common items to pick up out of the box. Be a nice touch.

My setup is very close to yours . The only thing that I have tried that eliminated the push was switching the caster blocks and trailing spindles out and running the .2 spindle/ blocks. Unfortunately this made the buggy twitchy and difficult to run clean lines so i put the .3's back on. My track is a 1/10 scale style track with 3 180s and does not flow well . How do you like that center diff at 10k?? Thinkin about goin heavier on my center diff as my front tires balloon a lot.
I noticed my servo saver was about 5 or 6 turns out. Now it's 1. Racing tomorrow, will see what happens.

If I recall correctly, I ran these back in my eb48 days which assuming nothing has changed shock dimension wise should still fit:

Tekno's standard battery position is more "upfront" than durango's setup where there is a receiver box towards the front with the battery more towards the rear, hence more on power steering. Variety of designs these days that going on as well taking a queue probably from tekno.

Sheesh! How are you guys getting away with such light shock oils like 30-40?
I've tried all oil weights and did multiple rebuilds of my shock and if I have light oils I felt as though the rebound was way to fast and made the car very bouncy and easily upset.
I'm currently running 50f/55r.

Has anyone ever shattered an outdrive on the front diff? I dont really know how it happened. I came down a little rough on a landing from someone tapping me in the air. I was able to make it to the next little jump and then boom. I'm running a 3x4 buggy.

I snapped one in half a couple weeks ago.

all done with assembly!!! Just need to solder up the motor, paint the body and find more double sided tape for my esc. Going with a simple white body for the first one. Not a big fan of the stock body. Build was pretty much flawless, i did notice a few differences between the 'build manual' and the 'set up sheet' in the back but it wasnt a major problem or anything. Cant wait to take this out either this weekend or next!
Edit: got it wired painted and running. Had some serious issues with the spray cans so my white turned into a trippy purple since I added metallic blue to it. I also got to excited and forgot to cover up the window with the stickers they gave you haha. Thankfully this will turn into a practice body.
