R/C Tech Forums - Tekno RC EB48.3 Thread

From your setup sheet I'd try 24mm or less front ride height and 1° toe out front.
The camber links are already giving you quite a low front RC compared to the rear RC to a car that, as said, has tons of steer.

My two cents as some says :)

Edit: Something just went across my mind : what tires are you using ? Sometimes it's as simple a that.

I appreciate the advice. I'm running AKA Impacts.

Yeah I can't get it to attach. Keeps saying file size is too big. Anyone know how to reduce the file size of a .pdf?

EDIT: Maybe this will work...

I'm trying to get a good grasp on wha the pills indicate. Your rear toe is -3.5 degrees right? You posted "0" on your setup sheet, but I figured you just left it blank and didn't actually mean "0" degrees? Am I right?

Most definitely, we have been using TKR6018 emulsion caps on the EB, NB, SCT and EB48SL with great success!

Matt,
I crash too often to risk plastic caps on a buggy. Please say an aluminum version will be available soon.

Thanks

I'm struggling with off power steering (or just getting through a corner tight vs taking it wide)

I used the Joe Bornhorst setup but I have gotten so far away from that that I'm not sure what to call it.

I am using 7/7/5 in the diffs and I believe 425/ 475 in the shocks. The car just won't turn into the corner, I can't comment if its getting out of the corner well because I have to go so slow to setup for the exit.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have my 48.3 setup to factory standards except for shock oil. I am running 5 5 5 in the duffs and have no issues with tight cornering entering or exiting. I enter the corner with speed or coast and get back on throttle 1/2 way through and the rear just comes around perfectly. I am running on a loose dirt outdoor track. I would say medium to low bite at best. I am also using TLR shock oil 40wt front and rear. So far so good.

Not for some time. We have been using the plastic caps for a while and they are very durable. I personally have never broken one. Several of our team guys have been using them for years and only broken a couple.

I have never broken a plastic cap on my NB, I was running plastic on the NB for awhile because I hated the look of the scratched up alum... But haven't had any issues with durability.

Is there much of a difference between emul and vented? I run emul on my sct and vented on my buggies, but don't know the actual differences in performance.

Quite a bit of difference actually. Emulsion is better on bumpy tracks and also helps reduce chassis roll, lands better too. We run emulsion on all EBs and NBs. Vented caps have a slight delay when the bladder compresses before they start producing resistance.

Why isn't emulsion recommended for stock setup? When I built my SCT i went emulsion since that is what I used on my Losi SCTE, I never knew the differences between the styles though. I only went it because it's what I knew.

Thanks for clearing up the pros/cons a bit.

Has anyone tried the new JC Body? I am finding the servo horn hits the body and not just a little bit :flaming:

I haven't had any issues with servo horn rubbing, I use the tekno alum horn and 0 issues

I just set mine up based on the new outdoor setup. Man the bump steer is agressive. At full compression theres allot of toe out. Ill find out tomorrow night how it feels
