not following on the bait thing but yeah the design of the HB car looks like the V4 conversions with there own twist on some things like the battery tray. If its a very good copy of the V4 layout then it should perform well as it has a good base to go off of.


Still seeing these as late dec for a variety of places. Any more news on that like packages shipped out to places like tower, etc?

If you go to the Tekno web sight and put your arrow over the pic with the chassis/dblock, it gives an animated pic of the changes.

good base or not, every top brand had conversions too, but they didn't half ass it and just copy it just because it works or is fast. ...

I am assuming the usual parts should be picked up for spares, however, with some of the changes done for new type of parts anything particular to pickup there that may wear faster than just normal maintenance items that you would be worth carrying as a spare? (ex- spare bearings for the new spindles)

Cain, recommend the normal spares, hinge pins, shock shafts, steel spur, 13x18x4 bearings, arms, spindles/carriers and hubs. Kit now comes with universals on all four corners and the plastics are very durable, so it will last quite a while.

Yeah I see that one, I am looking for an overall chassis pic however if its just the same as the regular on the rest of the chassis that's fine, I was curious if there was more changes than just the rear end, as well as see how they changed the rear relative to the actual droop downstops.



I think you may want to take another look at what various top brands have been accused of based on various discussions concerning copying. You may be surprised based on comparison pictures and the discussions. Some of the recent vehicles have an uncanny look in comparison to others.


Looking forward to the first build posts. :nod: I am hopeful that the local track here will do 1/8 E buggy as the track is being built from a "1/10" perspective but is said to be SCT sized vehicle friendly, so I would think they will work good.

Looking at the two Bornhorst setups for the 48.4 can somebody tell me what the shock pistons are? 2x3.0?

I'm new to Tekno, so are these custom made Pistons or Tekno parts?

Hello Caffeine357,
The kit does not come with an aluminum servo horn. You can use pretty much any horn you might have and we also offer our own which is clamping and offers two separate lever lengths.

its interesting to see going with less and less holes but larger ones. Looking forward to seeing how they work out.

So when do we expect the next shipment of eb48.4s? Towers out.
