Also tekno is working on a solution for the servo saver set up which is still causing problems they thought it was the spring causing the problems which has been changed in second run i beleive but even so it has not solved the issue
Tekno has said that they will let us all know when they have solved the issue/s with servo saver set up

I hope this soon great to see tekno is actively involved in making this buggy better then it already is

Once this is done I will buy the buggy
You would hold out on a buggy because of a body? I think Tekno did an awesome job with the body. It is very functional (it fits the chassis very well) and looks better than 90% of the other electric bodies out there.

I agree stock body is great. And for the servo saver mine is super glued together.

Allright guys I couldn't hold out any more I just ordered my eb48 today I have to say the guys at Tekno were great they answered all my questions and Matt even suggested some options to order for hop ups. I was totally impressed with sct410 I cant wait to get the EB48. In a few days it will be like xmas in march .

Here are some:
"TKR5036XT Suspension Arms (xtra tough, front, 2pcs)"
1 "TKR5030XT Suspension Arms (xtra tough, rear, 2pcs
2 "TKR5073 CV Rebuild Kit (front/rear, for 2 axles)"
1 "TKR5034 Hinge Pins (outer, rear)"
Just bere in mind that the quality of Tekno's products are second to none by the way I can see on my sct410---hope this helps.

I was thinking of the Suspension Arms, but I have two regular spares for now, so I'm keen to see how I go. If they break, I'll definitely get the new ones.

Thanks for the ideas on the other parts, I'll look into them.

Congrats for the new buggy !
don't even think about wasting your money on anything in the rc cars world rather than 1/8 scale buggy.
Tekno is your top choice and you did the right decision.

Not sure why you would need more aftermarket support, the car is really durable as far as 1/8 scales go and as far as the servo saver issue, just tighten up the nut about 1 or 2 more millimeters. I have one of the original kits and other than the Ackerman plate that Tekno has addressed and a few front arms (normal crashes) the car has lasted incredibly well. Pull the trigger and get one, you won't be sorry.

this thing about the body is quite strange to me,the stock one hugs the chassis and allows virtually no dirt in,and a fancy,if desired, paint job makes it quite nice. to say the purchase of this kit hinges on the body does not make sense to me....
