OK here is my wrap up of the NT48.3 upgrade, when building the new updated truggy, forget all your set up's from the previous chassis, the flex properties have changed and the new chassis is a great improvement, as most would know i have also been running the M2C chassis and again forget all your set up's from this chassis.
The new set up in the manual is fast and stable to drive, i myself have made some small changes after a day at my home track testing different changes, i moved the wheel base to 2mm behind the rear hub and 3mm in front, the truggy seems to rotate better for my driving style, a little more front wheel drive action for me too with 12/15/7 diff set up, 3.5 degree rear toe and went to 700/600 with the shocks and 10% rebound.
Really happy with the upgrades and cant wait as im heading to the NSW State Title event in 2 days time, so will get 3 solid days of testing done in a race format, will keep you posted when i get back from the event.
So if your upgrading to the NT48.3 complete kit, start with the book set up and adjust from there, If you purchased the chassis and using the NT48 complete kit, forget everything and down load the new chassis manual and start from scratch, you will not regret the new set up changes.

i have had a good test at the track with the NT48.3 and running the 46t spur, I would suggest just going up one spring rate with the clutch springs to get a fraction more snap out of the clutch to get you back to where the 48t spur felt out of the corner, I was running a staggered spring setting with the 48t to smooth the clutch out, once the 46t spur was in there was a change down low, first i matched the spring rates in the clutch rather than staggered set up and then went up 1 spring and bingo, perfect.

My NT48 is giving me a problem when I got it on a starter box and turn the wheels left or right not even all the way to the lock. If the wheels are not turning and you slowly apply throttle it has a violent shake in the front. This is a brand new kit never been ran. Makes you think the front axle drive pins are to long binding on the arms at the out drives but it has tons of clearance. Or like the front drive line coupling is hitting Ackerman plate and it has good clearance. Tires are balanced. Once it gets to a higher spinning speed it smooths up and you can turn it to full lock in either direction and as long as you don't stop the wheels it is smooth. I have been through this thing like crazy and can not see any thing rubbing any where.
