I've been trying to make the switch from a Tekno RC8.2e to an EB48, but I'm still consistently faster with the RC8.2e. I've only driven the EB48 at two races (one hard packed high traction huge track and one one loamy low/med traction medium sized track). At the most recent race, I qualified 2nd with the EB48, but was forced to switch to the RC8.2e for the main because of a broken part. I ended up winning and beating my best EB48 lap time by 1 second on a 30 second track. The RC8.2 suits my driving style better because I feel like I can push it harder and carry better speed through corners and rough sections of a track. The only advantage I've seen with the EB48 is that it jumps better and gets back on throttle faster after landings. I haven't given up yet and will continue to tweak until it works for me. We're starting an indoor winter series soon and I think the EB48 will be great since it's lighter and designed by folks that race indoor a lot.

Just my 2 cents. Tekno junkies please don't flame... After all, the Tekno conversion is a huge part of what makes the RC8.2e an awesome car.
