Bob B 8/10/17 - Should I start with the kit setup?
The kit setup is a great place to start. One other option that many of us start with is Joe's rough track setup. You can find that setup here
In order to run it you need 3x2.1 pistons and 3x2.0 pistons. (They are marked on the sheet as 3.1 and 3.0).

Matt W 7/7/17 - What is overdrive and when should I use it?
The NB48.4 comes stock with a 12t pinion (TKR8152) and the 39t ring (TKR8151) in both the front and rear and the EB48.4 has a 12t pinion (TKR8152B) and the 40t ring (TKR8151B) in both the front and rear.

The two sets of gears are used to overdrive the front of the EBs or underdrive the rear of the NBs. If you have both vehicles and want to try underdrive it's as easy as swapping the front diff and pinion of the EB and the rear diff and pinion of the NB. Underdrive helps on very loose tracks, when you need more on power steering or if the rear of the car feels loose.

Tips and Tricks
Setup Sheets:
Setup sheets for all Tekno RC vehicles can be found here. Please be sure to try our recommended setup. It works very well on most tracks.

Warranty Policy:

Tekno RC is the only company in the industry that will give 50% off of parts if returned to them using the General Warranty return policy found on their website. The parts can be lightly used or completely abused, as long as the part is still being produced it's covered!

Piston Drills:

Some of our setups recommend using pistons that are enlarged. For instance 4x1.9 or 3x2.0. To drill the pistons we recommend the following:
GMK Supply Piston Drill Set
16PC Metric Bit Set Metric Sizes 2.00 to 3.00 MM.

They definetly are. There have already been pictures of Joe's and Jared's ebuggy's showing them to be alot wider. Seems like it will be around the width of the HB or losi.

Most famous is Dutch Oven Design. Before this they sell the alu DoD rear shock tower with extra holes for camber link. Now they stop making alu tower and starts with cf tower... But only for rear

Ones that makes both front and rear are
1. Prostar rc
2. Beserk rc (aus)

Both made some customization on their cf tower.
Especially beserk rc. But u cant find in their website, u need to email them for it

It is also the same shock bodies Front and Rear, lower center of gravity, ball bearing sway bars, and yes diffs are bigger and hold 35% more oil and are consistent throughout the whole run and with bearings on out-drives, they run much cooler and do not burn oil up as fast!

Hey guys, newb question here. I’m looking at getting a buggy and the 48.4 has caught my eye. Is there a reason that Tekno uses such a narrow chassis? Does it improve handling characteristics? I’m also looking into Losi and associated 1/8th scales. Totally new at this so any input would help. I’m running at a local track and I’d like a nimble buggy..

so there is no performance loss for a narrow chassis?? Or is it an advantage? Just wondering.. I’m about to buy a 48.4

No performance loss, but since it is crampt, u are limited on what electronics u can use.

The buggy is nimble, aggressive and lightweight, but it does get up set easily when clashing with other buggy. So it will teach u how to be a good driver around traffic.

If u want to upgrade, first upgrade wud be alu servo horn. At advance level, u can upgrade ur shock package to wiggins' piston setup
