I ran my new eb48.3 tonight for its maiden voyage at SDRC. The car ran great! It still had great steering and with more traction. I felt that the stock black front springs were too soft for the clay surface so I ended up with kyosho orange springs all around. I also I'm not happy with the bit of slop that the car has when built...but it's easy enough to shim it away. After the spring change the car felt better & I ended finishing 3rd. Thank you tekno for the new ride, love everything about the new buggy aside from the slop.

Your gonna want the 4x1.8s.... I tried my existing 6 hole ones from my .2 on my .3 upgrade parts and didn't like the feel, gave it a totally different feeling and handling. I put the 4x1.8s in last night and just form doing the bench drop for ride height felt way better

The only slop I have in my EB48.3 is in the A-arms because I got a little too aggressive reaming them out... So, totally my fault, I guess there might be a smidge of slop in the front wheels from something, but it's a small amount in my opinion and like the other poster said, could be eliminated if you worked at it.
That being said... I wish Tekno would properly prepare the A-Arms before they send them out we don't have to risk damaging them ourselves. My SCT410.3 and EB48.3 needed quite a bit removed from the inside of the A-arm hole to move freely.

Use these by hand or in a drill. The hole will come out straight and the perfect diameter. You can get them at most hardware stores.

No big deal, but it is there and requires shims. Arms are also tight and I got 2 bent drive shafts. Car is nice but not perfect.
BTW the new AE car is pretty nice, super smooth drivetrain and looks to be way better built than the old car.

Forward to back movement of rear arms and hubs are a bit sloppy.

I like that they send the arms small and let you ream them perfect. No slop on the pins then. The ae car had all kinds of slop there as well.
Between the two above, combined with, combined few a few other areas the front tires on the old rc8.2e had about 1/2" of slop in every direction lol.

I hadn't drilled mine out yet cause I was still waiting to find a 4mm bit. Well, I went to mrdochs, found a 3 pack of these 12" long files like you linked too for $5 and they worked absolutely perfect. They measure roughly 4.05mm diameter and the hinge pins measure roughly 3.95mm diameter. Thought it would be a little loose, But it seemed you can run the file in with a drill and the longer you leave it in there the more material is removed... so just run it in and back it out and test, too tight run it in again, and so on until it is perfect. Took me like 10mins to disassemble and do all four arms. They have zero play and have zero binding. Thanks for the tip dude!

I have been noticing my front end seems to bounce up after a jump while my rear end seems to stay planted. I'm also not loving the way the front end feels when I compress the suspension with the factory set up. It just feels stiff and mechanical like I'm compressing a sway bar, not a shock.
Anyone have any issues or have a nice feeling front end while pressing the front shock towers down? Mind just feels different than the other Losi ebuggies at the track and from my ET48 and SCT410.3.

I know what you are referring to as far as the front end slapping if not landing 100%. Try going up in front oil.
