Had an awesome day with the EB48 at a big race at the local track and the NB48 is coming around. When I picked it up NB48 a little over a month ago, I launched right in to Ramos's setup. It is pretty solid, but pushed real hard the way I drive. I heard good things about box stock, so decided to give it a overhaul since I had it completely torn down. Not a huge surprise, it's actually quite good! After just a quick tank at practice mid week (only had limited time), I fine tuned a few things.
I'm not only stacked up against a small handful of great local Tekno drivers (brand is still growing), but up against team drivers from Kyosho and a whole army of Mugen sponsored drivers. I need it to remain nimble and agile, especially in the very sharp corners we have. Using box setup, I have made a few adjustments that immediately helped out a bit to give a little slide in the rear to get around the corners faster. Using losi oils, I went to 42.5 in the front and 37.5 in the rear instead (85-95 degree heat). I shorted the rear link to the 'c' position. This was an immediate improvement, decreased the pushing, and allowed for much faster cornering.
I am narrowing the gap in feel between the EB48 and NB48, which is my ultimate goal.
Almost 16 hours at the track, almost 180 minutes running. Good day!
