Screw the front clip onto the chasis the very front 2 screws are called out as tkr1346 I think (they are 15mm lg). I just put one in and it punched thru the diff case and jammed up the outdrive. Freakin pissed. I use a mini electric driver to go 90% of the way then do the rest by hand but the damn screw punched thru with still a couple mm of length left to screw in. It seems that the hole in the diff case is 9mm deep and the chasis is 4mm thick so I think the screw should only be 12mm not 15. I checked my eb48.3 manual which has the same diff case and that screw in that manual is 12mm. I emailed tekno. I kinda feel like they should send me a new diff case.

I don't recall this being an issue. The front 2 are listed as 15mm TKR1346, the rear 2 are 12mm TKR1344. The front 2 also go through the bumper, this is why they're longer as the rear 4 are all 12mm.

Damn it! I keep forgetting I'm not building a buggy here. That's why it broke thru is cause I didn't have the bumper in there.

I can see how this would happen, they should have shown lines from the 15mm screws to the bumper.

I did the EXACT freaking thing a few weeks ago. The instruction manual should show the screws going through the bumper with the chassis. I emailed them as well and they basically said it would be fine. Maybe I should have pushed them harder, but I just bought a new diff case for ~$10 or so and moved on.

Knew they would come out with that upgrade, but is there really any benefit to it? I have several other parts from them and I think they are overkill :lol:

They should have just made a front chassis brace. I believe that's the only brace used on most of the pro truggy setups and makes most sense unless you do high speed reverse driving lol

Big air, high speed muff landings on rear bumper is what was pulling shock mounts through the plastic body mounts when I was trying to learn trick flips. That is a brutal amount of force doing bad things to the rear of the truck.

Speaking of that particular problem, rather than the M2C solution, I made some 2mm Carbon fiber pieces (basically large washers) that fit in the recess formed by the plastic body mount holders, and it solved the 4mm nut being pulled through the plastic.

Now that you say it, it makes sense lol. Afterall I always see bashers landing on their rear bumpers after leaping 30ft in the air

Ya they definitely should have shown the screw going thru the bumper instead of having the bumper off to the left side of the page. But oh well. They emailed me and said the exact same thing. Basically it will be fine. I actually didn't break thru the case but it did push the plastic up. I tore it apart and was able to push the plastic Back down so it didn't interfere with the outdrive.

The other question I have is about the droops screws and attaching the steering turnbuckle to the steering arm (step j-2 page 15). In the manual it shows the screw going up from the bottom but on the eb it goes in from the top. So that is what I did since there is a recess for a nut on the bottom of the steering arm. But the end of the screw sticks out past the nut on the bottom where the recessed cutout is. Which brings me to the droop screws. The manual shows the droop screw being flush with the bottom of the arm. But I have to turn the in so that the arms are basically level with the ground or the end of the screw in the steering arm rubs on the c-hub when I turn. Should I actually install it the way the manual shows and make the head of the screw go inside the recessed area that looks like it is cut out for a nut? Hope that all makes sense the way I wrote it.

I had the same question there as well - I ended up installing per manual and Tekno confirmed that they changed the orientation for more clearance so that the screw end doesn't rub against the arm.

On the droop screws - I ended up getting TKR1238 (which are the same as the ET and EB I believe). So the button head ends up at the bottom of the arm against the chassis, with the adjustment accessible on the top side of the arm.

HTH!

For those that are concerned with the strength of the back-end of their truck, this has existed for quite sometime and does a much better, lighter, job of tying it all together and distributing forces.

It mounts to both rear brace holes on the rear diff case and then continues over the entire center diff, replacing the existing center diff plastic support.

Is there a problem with the rear end of this truck taking the abuse?
