Straight cut are more durable and efficient in our opinion. Spiral is more compact, good for larger ring gear sizes (truggy ratios) perhaps to get the diff to sit as low as possible. Both obviously work, but we prefer straight cut.

To leave room for some option parts

I have a question about wheels. Will the new AE 83mm wheels or Proline V2 wheels fit on the EB48?

Thanks,

Chris

Cool , I was thinking that they might be a little more easier rolling/less drag than spiral cut since they mesh differently .

Yeah, shouldn't be any problems there. Any available wheel for 1/8th buggy should fit. We're tested all kinds of wheels and they are all pretty standard.

Should fit easily. I've run the super wide Proline V3's in the rear and front with no issues.

Thanks guys

Hallo and sory for my bad english!
I come from Germany and will drive the car in some national races here.
It looks so pretty and the german distribtor is very friendly!

For a long time i had driven the Durango DNX Nitro.
Now i search for a very good brushless buggy with good handling still in standard setup.
The Durango has the problem of a very light rear.
I suspect that even the Tekno has a very light rear to, so control is very difficult.
Is this correct that the rear of the car is not so stable and difficult to tune?
It is horrible for a better hobby racer when you must search many howers at the race for a setup when your car is so comlicated to tune?
Sorry for my bad english and i hope you have some feedback for me.

Is it July yet?

We have been able to get the rear planted or be loose, depending on driving style, setup, and track conditions. The comparison to Durango isn't completely accurate. Our roll centers and adjustments are all different. Shock positions, shock length, anti-squat, toe, dog bone sweep, dog bone plunge, etc. are all different.

Traction hasn't really been an issue in our setup tuning. Meaning, we've almost always had enough traction. When we first starting testing the car we were having a little trouble with high speed turn-in and high-speed cornering. We had too much traction and the rear wasn't coming around how we wanted. Mind you this was during the very first test sessions. Our setups have obviously improved since then and we now have a good balance.

In any case, to get more traction with our car you would follow the same setup changes as most other cars. More toe, more anti-squat, softer spring/oil, roll center adjustments.

what kind of run times are you getting on these?

It mostly depends on the driver and driving style. I'd estimate anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes.

Low traction in the rear is usually not caused by lack of weight in the rear, especially when considering side-bite. With off-road cars and their soft suspensions weight transfer (and 4-wheel drive) usually results in enough traction to cause poor steering authority.

RC Insider just posted this vid from JBRL Rnd #4 (race was a few weeks ago). This one was taken during the day so you can see the track a little better. Anyway, just something I found and thought I would post along.
