Matt,
Thats great that they are going to update the chassis and spur. But I have spend almost $70 bucks on spur gears as it is now, and now I am going to have to buy yet another version, another chassis, or spend money on a M2C chassis. This isn't what I was expecting when I bought the truggy.....

I am running it. It is a bit heavier than stock and does change the handling slightly. It paints much easier and I trim the hole for the engine a little farther forward than marked for easier glo plug access. So far, it is holding up much better than stock for me and that was my main reason for switching.

Thanks for the reply. Does it fit the chassis close helping keep dirt out? What does it change handling wise? Thanks.

Just in case anyone was on the border on buying the proline enforcer NT48 body, here is my little review.
This last weekend Billy Fischer let me run his practice enforcer body.
To start off, the two main positives I feel you would get from this body is the thickness, durability and the looks. But that is where it pretty much ends for me. I feel it made the truck handle a little bit differently, more twitchy and a little looser all around. Also the body is twice as thick therefore being twice as heavy (this could be a plus or negative depending on you) the body is also way to wide and does not come anywhere near the side guards, when starting the truck the glow igniter is at a really awkward angle (same when temping it) and lastly and most importantly to me, my engine ran 40-50 degrees hotter with this body compared to the stock one.
I do like the looks but I'm sticking with the stock one.

Great information. Thanks.

Motox450 thats also my point. Tekno is aware that theres a problem but we still ended up paying for it. Doesnt look like their usual philosophie and just plane s$cks when you bought the truggy/buggy and have not even 3 weeks on it....

Dissapointed..

3 weeks your lucky...I had one race day on mine. Our local track has been under water for a month....and honestly I haven't been woried about it. I'm disappointed that tekno hasn't came up with a suitable correction yet.....

It is really important mesh is set properly on the current NT48. I have at least four gallons on my current spur/clutch bell, enough that I replaced my clutchbell a couple weeks back due to wear. The mesh should be quite tight, just enough to barely move and not make hardly any noise.

My trick is to take a driver and place it horizontally between into the spur gear and top plate. This won't allow it to move even slightly. You can then wiggle the clutch bell and see exactly how much movement you have. If you don't know what I mean, I can make a video quick.

I have personally never had a spur problem either, the mesh does need to be quite tight... make sure when you get a new spur, always pair it with a new clutch bell so they can wear into each other.

Guys I know how to set mesh....this isn't my first time. There is a design flaw with the open hole for motor placement in the chassis. If the track has large jumps or flat landings the lack of material in the center of the chassis allows for to much flex causing the spur to break. If your track doesn't have a great deal of large jumps I would guess some would not have issues. Our track does have larger jumps and three of us are having issues. the others have went to the M2C chassis to correct the issue. Tekno has stated on here multiple times they are aware of the issue and are working to correct it. I just hope they plan on making it right with those of us who have had issues.

I feel your pain on the spur gear issue. I run at a big track with big jumps as well. When I first got the truck I went through no less than a dozen spur gears. If I came up short or cased a big jump under power 2-3 teeth would snap right off. I almost gave up on the truck because of the frustration and cost but a few of the local Tekno guys came up with two solutions. The first was to make a simple aluminum brace that fassened next to the diff/motor through the factory mounting holes for the mud guard. It's a $1, 5 min fix. With that fix I didn't have any more problems with the Tekno revised spur. The second $35 fix is to either use the serpent center diff or the Associated rc8T 50t center diff. I currently use that diff and the custom chassis brace and haven't ever broken a associated spur. Don't give up on the truck, it's so good. I'm sure Tekno has these problems fixed on the upcoming .3. Hopefully they can help you with a resolution to your problem like maybe swapping you your old chassis and spur to the new .3 parts, or maybe a discount on them through the warranty process.

Oh I know the truck is good. That's why I haven't given up on it. I am just frustrated with the amount of time it has taken them to come up with a correction.

Hi guys,

This issue has taken longer than expected to resolve. We will have new spurs and a revised chassis coming very soon. Anyone that has had trouble with the spur gears is encouraged to contact our customer support when we have the items available. We'll do what we can to help you get going again. Thanks.

so are you guys planning on releasing a .3 version of this kit or just updating chassis/spur on current kit. im curious because im going to be purchasing this kit once its updated. thanks tekno

There are NT48.3 references all over the tekno site, so fresh kits are assumed. As always, I'm sure it's upgrade possible.
