There is a lot of adjustment in the car , and it is very responsive to changes. There is more than enough there to lame the rear end as much as you would like without having to resort to changing layouts around or adding weight . Since getting the .3 after having a .2 , I actually had to loosen the rear end up to get back to where I was.

interesting
what about jumping ? do you have to keep the throttle in the air to avoid a nose dive ?

Is it the higher the spring rate the stiffer the spring?

1) driving style
2) jump face construction/shape
3) setup
That being said, most of the time a buggy will jump fairly flat if you hold the same wheel speed after you leave the jump face. If you're accelerating up the jump face then you'll tend to have nose up, and if you're letting off and scrubbing or coasting then you'll tend to get a tiny bit of nose down. Since it is eBuggy though, all of those can easily be adjusted in air by use of trigger or brake, so we don't normally worry about it too much.

ok thank you guys. I was used to old school buggies that have much weight on the rear drive train
the mugen i ride now is like the eb48 : moder layout with much more weight on the front drivetrain
it's indeed better for tight turns but it flies differently !
anybody has a vid of a EB48 making a backflip ? didn't find one on youtube

This is highly dependent on all of:
1) driving style
2) jump face construction/shape
3) setup

Anyone running the lighter wings? ie proline trifecta clear, LFR, or the new jconcepts? Did you notice any handling differences with the rear? I am running the trifecta wing and now the rear end of my car is all over the place. Only thing I have done differently is the lighter wing. I have tried a few setup changes but still not getting the rear traction I had before the lighter wing. Anyone notice a difference, what did you do to compensate? I have tried 1. lowering camber link on tower 2. lengthening the camber link 3. shortening the camber link.....

I just got the new JConcepts Hybrid wing. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but it does look sick!
I'm late to the conversation (as always). I ran my 48.3 for the first time at Motorama and every time I came off the driver stand I had a big smile on my face. This car is just so fun to drive. I was SUPER impressed with the way it jumped and handled the rough stuff. To me, that's what makes or breaks a car. Every car can be made great on the ground. How it handles the big jumps and blown out sections is what makes or breaks you.
I ran Joe's Wicked Weekend setup with a few small changes.
Pink front springs
4 washers on the back of the steering spindle (mechanical steering stop)
32.5 wt oil fr and rr
changed the bump steer shims on on the spindle to 4-0 vs 3-1
Looking forward to an amazing season with Tekno!
Here's what I used:
EB48.3 (no option parts except pistons and springs)
Novak Activ8 V2
Novak HD8 geared 19-44
JConcepts Green Reflexs
Savox 1268HV

I would go back to the exact set up you had , tape a half oz of weight under your light weight wing and see if that's really what the issue is ( I doubt it ) or if its kinda in your head.

Does anyone remember what page the universals are in but I remember talking about it at one point.

You would want to raise the rear link on the tower for a lower roll center. With less weight up high , you are losing some of the roll , and lowering the link will make it roll even less. You may also be giving up some rear weight transfer when you get back on power, you can add a little more droop to the front or less anti squat and see what you get

Well I just ordered some shock shafts from Amain and the compatibility said that the front and the rear shock shafts fit the Tekno EB48.3 but they were wrong 
so now I have to return and order the extra long shock shafts. Now I have to wait another week or so to be able to run my buggy
. Thanks Amain.
