2) Are there any other specific NB48 parts that I should order? (Brake pads, air filters, etc)
3) Is there a link to the instruction manual somewhere? I would like to to start reading it ahead of time before my kit arrives. (I checked the Tekno Instruction manual link and there are none for the NB48).
4) What are the exact radio/servo battery specs? (size, hump, etc)
Thanks!
1: Correct, the kit will come with standard plastic horns. The throttle horn should not need any upgrades, but we do recommend an aluminum horn for steering. TKR5251->TKR5253 were made for the Tekno RC vehicles.
2: The spare parts haven't arrived yet, but they will be here in the coming weeks. The NB48 has demonstrated excellent wear all around. Everything should last quite a while before needing to be replaced. Air filters, a spare fuel tank, maybe some center shafts - normal stuff you'd want on hand for a nitro. But again, we are very pleased with how durable the buggy turned out.
3: The NB48 manual has not been posted yet. We'll see if we can post it up by the end of the week.
4: During testing we used the ProTek RC 2600 lipo packs and the 1800 LiFe packs. We also made sure the box would accommodate a 5-cell standard hump pack. So pretty much any hump pack should work. The RX box is big enough for just about any receiver. We always had plenty of room in the box no matter what RX we used.
Please feel free to ask any other questions. Thanks!!
