Had an awesome day with the EB48 at a big race at the local track and the NB48 is coming around. When I picked it up NB48 a little over a month ago, I launched right in to Ramos's setup. It is pretty solid, but pushed real hard the way I drive. I heard good things about box stock, so decided to give it a overhaul since I had it completely torn down. Not a huge surprise, it's actually quite good! After just a quick tank at practice mid week (only had limited time), I fine tuned a few things.

I'm not only stacked up against a small handful of great local Tekno drivers (brand is still growing), but up against team drivers from Kyosho and a whole army of Mugen sponsored drivers. I need it to remain nimble and agile, especially in the very sharp corners we have. Using box setup, I have made a few adjustments that immediately helped out a bit to give a little slide in the rear to get around the corners faster. Using losi oils, I went to 42.5 in the front and 37.5 in the rear instead (85-95 degree heat). I shorted the rear link to the 'c' position. This was an immediate improvement, decreased the pushing, and allowed for much faster cornering.

I am narrowing the gap in feel between the EB48 and NB48, which is my ultimate goal.

Almost 16 hours at the track, almost 180 minutes running. Good day!

Hey has anybody driven and xb8 2014 and then switched to Tekno? How do they compare is Tekno getting ready to release a new car ? I like X-ray ,stable easy to drive and almost indestructible but they change cars to often to keep up . But with all that said X-ray was way more stable then my mbx7 so I am not looking to go back that way . To the slippery back that Neva seems planted . Any help would be great .

I just gone the other way Tekno to XB8. There are similarities between the 2, they both have mad steering, both tough, but on my local track, the xb8 wins hands down, in a nutshell better setup options and easier to drive.

Thats the first time I have ever heard someone say the xb8 was easier to drive, I had the opposite experience, thought the xb8 was very twitchy for my style but obviously theres a million different setups and I think the reality is with enough trial and error or just pure luck you can find a setup on any kit that will work for you. What setup options does the xb8 have that the nb48 does not, I dont remember anything major but I only drove the xb8 for a weekend.

Got my NB yesterday, spending a rained out Saturday building. Intrigued about running rear motor, but seems like no one is running it. Not worth it?
