The old steering somewhat prevented hard driving and confidence, but this update makes a very positive difference.

Most brands don't change their steering feel, but I'm glad tekno is willing to make changes for the better.

Other than the ackerman plate, steering bellcrank and two 3x10mm screws, cutting out extra space in the body for the new steering needs to be done. I'd recommend getting shorter turnbuckles because I have them as tight as possible without digging into the pivitballs, yet still getting toe in.

Do you have a part number on the shorter turnbuckles ?

There is another thread for the .4. There is no affordable way to go from the .2-> the .4. If you'd like to upgrade to the .3, which is still a very good car, then here is a package

Add in the .4 steering stuff, and I think you'd be happy.

I just found the official .4 site
I DO NOT have time to read anything but it might be more feasible to
buy The New 48.4
My 48.2 is only 1 spring season old with TONS of parts!

Good question. I still have my .2 as well and may post it on here for sale. Probably ask $200obo(roller) as I have spare parts as well.

If you race any indoor, the .2 is an awesome indoor buggy if you lighten it up with a PRO4HD 1850 or T8i 1950 motor and the 4500/3600 Mah SMC 4s batteries. aluminum hubs, SCT410 center driveline and or carbon towers and you start to get a nice advantage. :nod:

In the process of installing the new Ackerman plate and bell cranks on the .3, what is the recommended starting setup for the ackerman? Are the newer setups on the tekno site with the new plate or old? I know it's probably been asked but I couldn't find the info.

The middle hole is the recommended hole to start with on the new ackerman bar. I don't believe the new bar was out at the time the setups came out, but I still would follow them if that's what you wanted to try out.

The .4's use tkr5050. Wish they would have just came out with a new part because it's a little thinner, the mark faces the opposite direction of all the other turnbuckles and it's from the 1st gen of the sct.

Attachment 1410549This Spreadsheet may help those thinking to upgrade to the .4 or parts thereof. Prices are correct at time of post and not necessary the best deal available. But will give you a good estimate. Sorry could not get the xls spreadsheet to load just the pdf.
