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.

I'm running a hybrid Super light (regular EB48.1 arms, spindles, Hubs & carbon towers with the lightened aluminum axles) and am interested to try out the new F/R diff gearing.

The new gearing may prove to be benificial with low traction surfaces on the SCT410/.3 vehicles along with the older EB48/.2 vehicles too...

I'm a 'new sct' guy and when I asked the rest of the team, they said only the LF Yellow rears fit. I don't know if there's plans for other springs or not. I haven't gotten that far yet

You have to download a .pdf viewer to make them open correctly on an iphone. That's why they appear to be blank.

You should be able to upgrade a .3 to a .4, but it would cost quite a bit because there is a lot that changed. That's why I imagine you see so many for sale right now. Pretty much everything should be backwards compatible, depending on what it is though you may need other parts to use it.
