R/C Tech Forums - Tekno NB48

Question, im going to be running the xp digital 1015 servos is that enough torque for the nitro buggy steering or should i go to a hw servo with a faster speed and more torque.

I have run the 1015 in the past and they are a good option. I don't think they are high volt servos however. I personally run KO servos at 7.4v now and will not run anything else.

stock body is fine and takes a fair bit to make it spilt at all

i have been using mine every 2 weeks since i got this buggy way before christmas

the FTW body i have ready to go as well is thicker for sure

but the stock is fine :nod: :nod: :nod:

On some underhood pics i see rubberbands as return springs, in addition to 'regular' springs from the kit. Why someone decided to go with such 'tuning' option?

By kit springs I am assuming you mean the springs on the linkage? These are to keep the linkage centered and following the servo arm during movement. A
"throttle band" is there to pull the carb slide and linkage shut in the event of a power loss.

That's what I run in mine. They seem to have perfect specs for nitro 1/8. Ran them for 3 years in a truggy and still going strong.

I definitely don't wont to grind out the slot/chassis to get it in there, but the flywheel seems really raised. What other starter boxes are guys having luck with?

I had to do what mr240 explained. Switched the brackets and drilled a new hole to close the top. You'll notice the pegs shifted to the left as well. I've also added rubber tubing to the front right peg to tighten the fit up.

Thanks. Got it lined up and turning over now. But my rear pegs aren't on the box. Am I missing something there? Have to customize your own?

You switch sides the brackets are mounted to. I had some issues getting mine lined up also. The car sits to the left more than other cars.

Does anybody run the Outerwears Performance Pre-Filter Air Filter Covers? If so, which size fits the NB48? Is it this one:

Ahhhhh... I see the problem now. My box is about 6 or 7 years old. both brackets only have a single slot and not the 3. I'll have to see if I can order that bracket. Thanks for the picture.

Use caution when ordering the outerwear. I couldn't find a exact fit and called them to review the exact measurements and they recommended they create a custom outerwear to insure it fits properly. I did however switch the stock (Ofna) filter to Mugen MBX7 filter instead. (Easily available pre-oiled bulk filter from Amain).

Moral of the story...a call to Outerwear directly might be well worth it before you buy something you can't use.

Looks sharp. Love the FTW bodies. Hoping they make one for the NB48 sometime.

I contacted FTW directly about 1.5months ago and they advised they did have plans to develop a body specifically for the NB48. Hopefully we see something soon :-)

All three diff cases have very-very tight fit into metal spur gears. Is it ok, anyone experienced same 'feature'? Should i grind some plastic with sandpaper?
