I am currently building this. Couple of question for ya. I see that people are looking for traction but did someone tried a 16 clutchbell to calm the car down a little? Rear motor is it taking away too mutch steering? What about the wing? Softer on the clutch springs?1

trouble is as i say im the only person in the UK, and there is not even any team drivers here, so what chance have i got of it happening????

it is such a shame as here the weather is cold so it suits the buggy down too the ground, the places listed on Tekno web site both web sites are down and always have been and not very helpful when you phone them,, so any time i want any thing i have to order from tekno or A Main Hobbies, i not got any choice

Adding steering in the NB48 is easy as our box setup actually dialed out quite a bit. 16 would probably be too tall. Some are using a 14 instead of the stock 15. Our setups have primarily been developed around the front motor configuration. We are doing testing with rear motor and at this point it appears to calm the steering and make the car a little more stable on high traction high speed corners. The weight a little more to the rear appears to make the car less susceptible to catching a rut and traction rolling.

We are working on UK distribution. Hopefully we'll have some info soon.

After driving the et48 and noticing how nimble and well built tekno is does anyone have an opinion on the nb48 vs an mbx6/7, someone who has owned both ?

What about defective rear bulkheads on Tekno buggies, does NB48 affected too? Or just using longer screw to fix rear chassis braces is enough?

Love my NB. Did a little more setup tweaking and got some tuning help from my "nitro guy". Now it's about time to get it ready for PNB. :D

We believe some of the rear bulkheads on the NB48 were affected by the injection temperature issue. We are replacing any broken bulkheads free of charge. Please contact our customer support staff in the event of a failure. Thanks.

I have a NB48 now and previously owned a MBX7 when they first came out. Until i drove the NB48 i always contented the MBX7 was the best car I ever owned / drove. Hands down the NB48 is the best car I have ever drove now.

I think you will be happy with either car honestly. The NB48 is the car for me though.
