The pads should break in, but backing the posts off a touch is totally fine too.

This kit looks interesting.. Too bad I'm in too deep with an mp9

looking at common consumable parts, I got some clutch Bearings handy for maintenance, glow plugs, but forgot about air-filters, will there be air-filters on the Tekno store or is their already an air-filter I can already get on the market? any other parts you would recommend to keep on hand?

Well if you've been waiting to pick up the new Tekno NB48, now is the time as AMAINHOBBIES.COM is having their Cyber Monday sale. You'll get 10% off every item by using this code-

What size pinion/ clutch bell recommended using an os speed?

The kit comes with a 15t bell. That's what we recommend.

Somebody post some pictures of there car! I am thinking about picking one up. What does the actual body look like anyway?

Oh no!!

Pictures on previous page....

Curious if the other clutch bells from Tekno fit? AMain lists a handful of them.

Just ordered!
 

So I just ordered my NB48 today....very excited...this will be my first nitro buggy! A couple questions....

1) I am planning on ordering TKR5253 – Aluminum Servo Horn for the steering. I assume the kit brings plastic horns. Right? Are there aluminum options for the throttle servo, or do these only come in plastic?

2) Are there any other specific NB48 parts that I should order? (Brake pads, air filters, etc)

3) Is there a link to the instruction manual somewhere? I would like to to start reading it ahead of time before my kit arrives. (I checked the Tekno Instruction manual link and there are none for the NB48).

4) What are the exact radio/servo battery specs? (size, hump, etc)

Thanks!

The NB48 and NT48 bells are different than our other bells. They are also compatible with any clutch bell made for the Losi 8. So if you have any laying around you already have a few spares.

1: Correct, the kit will come with standard plastic horns. The throttle horn should not need any upgrades, but we do recommend an aluminum horn for steering. TKR5251->TKR5253 were made for the Tekno RC vehicles.

2: The spare parts haven't arrived yet, but they will be here in the coming weeks. The NB48 has demonstrated excellent wear all around. Everything should last quite a while before needing to be replaced. Air filters, a spare fuel tank, maybe some center shafts - normal stuff you'd want on hand for a nitro. But again, we are very pleased with how durable the buggy turned out.

3: The NB48 manual has not been posted yet. We'll see if we can post it up by the end of the week.

4: During testing we used the ProTek RC 2600 lipo packs and the 1800 LiFe packs. We also made sure the box would accommodate a 5-cell standard hump pack. So pretty much any hump pack should work. The RX box is big enough for just about any receiver. We always had plenty of room in the box no matter what RX we used.

Please feel free to ask any other questions. Thanks!!

Thanks Danny! Very excited about my first nitro! Glad to know I'll have the best support from an RC manufacturer to assist when needed! Teckno ROCKS!

Skid plates
 

I'm a HUGE fan of the following rear skid and front bumper for my EB48. Was wondering if these would work with the NB48?

Is the chasis shape different? Are the front/rear chasis diff mounting screws in the same position? Thanks.

Chassis shape at the front and rear sections are the same as the electric vehicles to ensure compatibility with parts already on the market.
