Cool thanks Ill look for M3 soft tires...I use Savox servos in all my Clods and MTs...I was thinking of using the Savox 1258

Great info thanks alot.... Ive been to a few races before but never had the opportunity to race anything..Thanks for the info on the tires...I would like to have a few sets if possible so I can change them if necessary...I cant wait to get it

kingclod,for a little more i would get the savox 1256. ck it out if you havent bought the other yet.sr

The 1256 is not the best choice for 1/8. The titanium gears are not strong enough. A good steel gear servo is the way to go. I tried the 1256 and it made it about two race days and the gears broke.

Fellow EB48 owners, what setup wold you guys recommend I start with on a high bite wet clay track? We usually run gold bar codes and clay switches, the track has an 80ft straight, and not too many big jumps (indoor). Cornering speed is critical, but I like a smooth buggy that steers with the front tires, not the rear (old eyes and reaction times). Thanks in advance for the guidance.

my 1256 has ate alot of pipe since 5-11-12 and still workin good.for the price and torque #s you cant beat it.sr

I was thinking of getting the 1256 because it had more torque than the 1258 and 1257, but the 1258 works well with my MTs and I figured I wouldnt need the extra torque with the Buggy, bein its so light. Ill look into all 3 tho. I havent bought it yet..


also does the EB48 has 32p or 48p gears? and I also thought about using 1 of these Viper 550 systems....

The EB48 like most 1/8th scales uses Mod 1 pinions ..

I have been running the 1256 in my Tekno RC8 for a couple years and it works great. Never had a problems with the gears.

The gears are mod 1 pitch which is larger than 32 pitch.

Neither of those motors are suited for use in a 1/8th scale buggy unless you are tying to do a 2s setup (not advised). You need to find something in the 1700 to 2200 range to run 4S. There are some cheaper systems out there by Hobbywing and such.

I was just curious about the motor Viper motors...Im gonna stay with the Tekin T8 and RX8 on a 4s....I like the Savox servos and will defintely use one...

Ok cool Ill look up Mod 1 pitch pinions, I wasnt sure what it was...So I can use one of these??

Yes, those are the correct pitch but I don't personally know anything about their quality. Tekno, Robinson, and Losi all make good pinions.

Has anyone tried the competition suspension shock pistons the black, blue and red ones i want to get them but there 50$ for all three so any feedback would be appreciated

those were the first ones I saw....I found sum Robinson Racing 16t and 18t pinions so ill pick those up.

browsing tires now..

If you need pinions check out advantage racing products very good quality and prices are competitive

i ran my eb for the first time this weekend.. and the best word i can find for this car is EPIC.. i was extremely blown away.. i ran pretty much a box stock setup. ran pink beans which were slicks. i was able to turn 2-3 more laps than usual. and i cut my lap time down by almost a 3 seconds.. amazing.. its a blast to drive.. drive it hard or drive it soft it does whatever you want it to do.. weight transfer is unlike any other i have drove. cant wait until next time. so i can dial in a few very minor things. buying this buggy was a good move for me. last and final hopefully the wear on parts are just a good as everything else.

TEKNO EB48 places 1st and 3rd in EBUGGY AMAIN in BATTLEFIELD RC, ROSSVILLE, G

What a performance in a very fast field.
