the arms are different as well as the brake linkage besides the towers and shocks. I was able to see the car at Jan Jam last month. if there is other stuff different i wasn't able to notice it just by looking.

Maybe if a goes well we will have a NB48.2 version.
And kick ass at DNC!!!!

We had just won a race on a Sunday and borrowed the Tekno off another driver on the Monday to test. The person we borrowed the car off was the second owner and hadn't even driven the car himself!!
The Tekno was more than a second a lap faster than our present car.:) After the car was cleaned and our motor / electronics removed we jokingly asked the second owner if he wanted to sell it, he said yes and we did a deal. We got a complete EB48 included as well!! I had sent a queery to coast2coast but got no reply. I called them a few days later and spoke to them, That night I ordered an NT48 through them, got it 3 days later.
The original owner of the NB48 and EB48 was at the track and told us where he had brought it from-FierceRC. He had bought it when the $ was above parity with the US, therefore making it cheaper even with shipping!
There you have it we had a full factory drive and won many races with it but we needed a change, hence now we pay for everything again..........

So your paying for retail for cars, parts, radios, tyres, motors and fuel Darrin? Unless you are you aren't quite back to "reality" like some are quite yet...

Looks great. I like how you took the time to fit that Tekno sticker on the wing. Nice job.

Lutz is looking good so far at the DNC.

Re-read your post Rob, Had you had a few when you typed it????

See Rob when you win and have consistent good results sponsors actually come forward and ask you to use their product. Some are free, some heavily discounted. We have been asked to use some products for free which didn't work for us, therefore I'm happy to pay for something that suits us rather than get something for free that doesn't:nod:

Still have sponsors for Tyres, Radio/ Electronics, motors, the car and you know which brand we were running isn't having any development work done on it now and was becoming uncompetitative. I have 7 chassis in the RC room that I got from the factory and customised, some were blanks that I drilled and milled and bent up to change the weight distribution and layout. All we believe were faster than the original, but someone buying that car wasn't going to get the same as what we had:)

Hi fellas i have a NB48 for sale in the Australian for sale thread.

What i see: new arms (f and r), new toe blocks (all four), uni's, new caster blocks, new rear hubs (Al), new camber links, new brake linkages (maybe frankenparts from other vendor), new wing mount, "new" shock towers and shocks. Enough to pack it all into NB48.2.

Darrin,

I understand how sponsorship works. If your only paying retail for cars and spares your still getting away cheaply.
