What option parts should I consider buying with a new kit?
None are required but we recommend the following:

Aluminum Servo Horn:

-TKR5251B (23T)
-TKR5252B (24T)
-TKR5253B (25T)

TiNi Shock Shafts

-TKR6017T (front)
-TKR6061T (Rear)

This car is very durable. Here are the spare parts that we recommend you keep on hand:
Tips and Tricks
Vehicle Setup Adjustments and Build Tips

Tekno RC Instructional YouTube Video Playlist


Warranty Policy:
Tekno RC is the only company in the industry that will give 50% off of parts if returned to them using the General Warranty return policy found on our website. The parts can be lightly used or completely abused, as long as the part is still being produced it's covered!

Piston Drills:
Some of our setups recommend using pistons that are enlarged. For instance 4x1.9 or 3x2.0. To drill the pistons we recommend the following:
GMK Supply Piston Drill Set
16PC Metric Bit Set Metric Sizes 2.00 to 3.00 MM.

Setup Sheets:
Setup sheets for all of our vehicles can be found here.

What is overdrive and when should I use it?

The NB48.4 comes stock with a 12t pinion (TKR8152) and the 39t ring (TKR8151) in both the front and rear and the EB48.4 has a 12t pinion (TKR8152B) and the 40t ring (TKR8151B) in both the front and rear.

The two sets of gears are used to overdrive the front of the EBs or underdrive the rear of the NBs. If you have both vehicles and want to try underdrive it's as easy as swapping the front diff and pinion of the EB and the rear diff and pinion of the NB. Underdrive helps on very loose tracks, when you need more on power steering or if the rear of the car feels loose.

Pretty shocked how good the starting setup is on the the .4. I brought one used, threw an engine in it and onto the track. When I rebuilt it afterwards, compared to manual, was suprised to see it was built stock.

Adding the caveat that it may be a fluke that setup just works for my track surface and my driving style. Anyways ...

So now I am torn between sticking with how it is and tuning from there, or would I see immediate benefits from putting a known setup on it ? Thoughts ? Thankyou.

If what you have is working don't just throw some other setup on it. If there's any negatives to your car you should try to tune them out one change at a time. This can be time consuming but the benefits of this far outweigh any negatives.

Absolutely. Had some lively discussion on FB today on this topic also, and others agreed with their experience with the baseline setups, Going to stick with where I am at and go from there (as needed). Thankyou !

Hi all,
I need to read this entire thread, but in the meantime my 48.4 is on its way and I'd like to know if this RX pack fits. Thanks in advance!

The Gens ace hump pack works well and is pretty cheap at $17.

Default Servo saver.

Does the o-ring on the bottom of the Servo saver simply go onto the threaded post after/under the nut?
Why is the nut fancy and hollow? Does the o-ring go inside the nut? Thanks in advance for any response.

Default VRP Pistons

Have anyone tried the VRP pistons? If so, how did you like them.

I recently picked up a nice use NT48.3 . I need a decent starter box to go with it. Everyone recommends the blue ofna box. However it is discontinued and I cant find any on ebay or here in the classifieds. Are there any others that are good currently in production?

Look for the Q World box. It's the same.
