Hi all, will the Reedy 2S 2700 mah hump pack fit the nb48.4?
I would post the link but the forum won't let me as I haven't posted enough posts to be allowed to post links yet.
Thanks in advance.

Reedy 2S Hump LiPo Receiver Battery Pack (7.4V/2700mAh)

Edit: Sorry, meant to post this in the NB48.4 thread

This is the norm to do on all track surfaces. You do need to be a clean driver though. If you case jumps, you can very easily bend the middle front driveshaft. But removing the middle and rear braces allows the chassis to flex and provides much better rear traction as well.

This guy makes them, he does custom designs with your name too!

This. I am about a middle of the road driver, in general I personally now am running both the front and middle braces as the track I go to for running this vehicle has a pretty big jump that if for some reason you hit it wrong, you will have a hard impact and the flex on the chassis is enough to do what was described here. So personally at a minimum I would start with just the rear brace removed and see how you like it.

I would contact them directly, not 100% sure but I think the SCT410.3 might share the same hole pattern on the chassis for the EB48.4, if not, I'm sure they will make one available fairly easily, you just need to ask

I can't remember the last time I've weighed my buggy, but generally most drivers in my area tend to prefer larger capacity packs which increase weight to help add stability and increase length of run time. The club in my area does 10 min mains, and there are folks who struggle to make that length as their packs age.

Only time I have heard of weight being an issue was when Ryan Lutz lost his podium position in nitro truck for a national race, it was just a few grams too... basically lost weight from tire wear... the lesson learned there was to not get anywhere close to min weight IIRC.

Hey all - I am building up one of these bad boys and one tip I will give anyone else building one is I ran into a snag when building the front and back ends when you attached the A-arms. I had reamed them out with the Hudy 4mm reamer and everything was moving freely until I screwed in the thick droop screw and I noticed the arms would drop slowly like there was a bind. I didn't realize this at first but went backwards and after removing the droop screws the binding went away. Spoke to someone and I guess you are supposed to ream after putting in the screw since it pushes out the plastic enough to bind, which I did and all is now well. Figured I would pass this along to anyone who missed this. Also, the Hudy reamed, although expensive for a rarely used tool, did a good job in case anyone is on the fence about what to use. Prob better than the drill bit, although some said a chainsaw file is best in terms of price and performance. Thanks all for all the tips in the forum!

Picking up the Tekno EB48.4 this week and would like to run the Jconcepts Finnisher body. Will this body fit the 48.4? Are all the EB48 the same in body size?

I'm pretty confident it will be a 90% fit but the front end where the Ackerman moves side to side might need to be cut wider for clearance
