Jim,
This is what I use and it is great fuel line. Comes in a plethora of colors and is available at most hobby shops.

Good fuel line, but I prefer the clear/translucent blue stuff. The colored stuff seems more rigid and prone to tearing.

Is it just me, or does the kit fuel line seem slightly smaller in the OD than what some of the fuel line I remember buying in the past. Not trying to over think this, just want to make sure that the replacement fuel line will easily feed through the hole in the tank, properly seal at that hole and not get overly squeezed, restricting flow.

I've got about 2 flawless gallons on the kit fuel line. Is still holding up, but would like to replace it and not have to troubleshoot any abnormalities by something as simple as this.

From my experience, the ID of the Dubro line is the same, but the OD is slightly bigger. It still fits snugly in the tank, but not so much that it pinches it off. It also has a nice firm hold in the line mounts as well.

+1 to this!

And I agree, the clear/translucent blue is the way to go :tire::tire:

What's the deal with the new shock cap bushings? Building both the NB48 and EB48.2, and they both are the same. They just compress into the shock cap and never "free" up, tightening them down on the standoff, they're practically locked up. I've built many kits over my years and I can't figure it out. My early run SCT410 with the old/plastic caps is fine.

NVM. Found it. http://www.rctech.net/forum/13130828-post1045.html


Different question, which sides do the new lower shock bolts go? Silver (lefthand thread) on right front and left rear?

Here is the info on the new lower shock bolts from Tekno. They work awesome.

Lefthand/reverse thread screws always to the left sides of the car seen from the front and the rear ...

Left side = engine/tank side, or radio side if we talk about front shocks?

The left side as you look straight at it (front or back) is how I think of it.

If you think of it as how you "drive" it, it's the front right and rear left arms.

RR Black one, LF Black one. Like your sitting in the buggy. If that helps.

Has any body tried the carbon fiber shock towers? If you have how did you find them.

vandalzzz 01-15-2015 10:04 PM

Oh, i got basic idea:
imagine rotation coming to screw from shock while suspension is being compressed. Direction of that rotation must tighten screw, not loosen it. So for NB, Black (CW) goes to tank side and switch side, Silver (CCW) goes to st.servo side and exhaust manifold side.

No different to I standard except if you end up , upside down off a jump they can snap.

I run them on my SCT but not buggys

Long time Kyosho driver. I have also owned a couple of EB48's. I'm excited about building this NB48. I got a couple of questions....didn't want to bother my team manager. What size is the flywheel? Rear motor position not very popular? What is the equivalent to Tekno 450 or 350 oil...and the Tekno diff oil? I don't think Tekno sells oil. Good starting point box set-up or Lutz Fall Brawl or Battle of the Sickest? 6 washers on Ackerman popular?

Thanks ahead of time. I am sure I will have more questions.
