Does the inside of the car get dirtier than before the body modification? I drive on a track with a lot of loose dirt on top. I don't want to constantly have to clean my electronics off if I don't have too. Cleaning the rest of the car is tedious enough, thats all.

Thanks for all the advice!!
I didn't notice the car any dirtier than normal.

No, the inside of mine doesn't get any dirtier with the front body mod. I wouldn't like that either. I hate when the outside gets as dirty as in the pics, but I just had a much needed practice session and the track was dry and dusty.

I was just wondering if people have any experience breaking outdrives in the front. I've broken my second or third one, and for the life of me i don't know why. a few of them weren't really even in hard landings so i don't get why the metal would break. It's happened in my Nt48.3 as well. I've had 5 different brands of kits and these are the first times i've broken outdrives.

That's strange. Been driving my EB48.3 for 2 years and ET48.3 for over a year and haven't broken an outdrive. Only bent a few shock shafts.

I know it's weird, there a couple of other Eb48.3's at my track and they don't break outdrives as well. I've rebuilt the front a few time and it still does it. I can't figure it out. This whole is really frustrating.

How is the wear on the pins? Once outdrives and pins get really heavily worn, they can possibly "catch" since they don't move as smoothly.

The Pins are fine, i don't get to use electric as much because we do mostly nitro. So the kit is pretty fresh.

Default EB48.3 vs EB48.3SL

Going to be jumping into the ebuggy scene & I'm not sure what I should get, my home track is indoor 2S but I travel often so would the super light work or should I go with a normal ebuggy

Are the front and rear clips (arms, diff, suspension, etc) the same between the EB48.3 and the NB48.3?

The rear gearbox on the NB.3 is offset, otherwise the rest is the same. The EB.4 and NB.4 have the same rear clips minus the gearing.

Grab the full buggy, it will excel outdoors, and doesn't do bad indoors on 2s either.

Default In a bind

The front suspension arm pulls on the hub carrier half way thru the suspension travel and continues the rest of the way causing a bind, had anyone fixed this problem?. I thought it was the drive shaft binding in the diff outdrive but it's not. Also the universals don't make a god dam difference to the binding.

Yes, a little shave with a dremmel resolves the issue. On the track, I think maybe it's not as much of an issue.

What is better for a bumpy track a flat 8x1.3 piston or the stock conical. Also has anyone experimented with the new .4 steering and how do you like it vs the origional.
