toe out has always tended to make the car more stable going in a straight line, but more aggressive on turn in. it give it just a hair. you dont need a whole lot

Any suggestions on diff rebuild to assure no leakage. I built it, ran a few packs and the front and rears are leaking. Buggy is awesome, and suggestions/ info would be great.

My first ever build has come to an end!! I'm so glad it was this Tekno EB48, what a sexy beast!

Finally completed the body last night, kept it simple to match the wing and wheels, with blacked out windows and minimal stickers. I just couldn't bring myself to put any more on. The shock covers were bought prior to getting the Tekno kits when I was going to paint my Vorza red to match my car. I had enough material to do both cars. I don't mind the contrast, but will get some green ones next as I can't seem to find this type in this yellow.

Now I want to build my spare kit, but I'll see how I go with the electrics I've chosen for this one, and if I'm happy with it I'll get the same again and have a duplicate buggy as a spare.

After my first question about the diffs early on, which is like a no-brain er now, I'm surprised how easy it was really. I thought I was going to be asking a million questions.

I still have to get the 5mm bullets installed between the ESC and motor, to which end I realised I have 5mm bullets in my EC5 connector spares!!! I also have the 5.5mm bullet spares I no longer use, but I think I'll use the 5's. My new batteries didn't turn up in time for this long weekend so I'll probably get them Tuesday and then I'll have them EC5'd and do the car at the same time.

Today I drove it around an oval and car park with my brother but I took some pics before hand. Tomorrow we're going to our local track so I can try the EB48 out and practice with it.

I ordered myself this buggy the other day! I can't wait to get it! After getting my sct410, I just had to have this buggy. I will be running a tekin rx8 and 1900kv t8. I was wondering if this buggy has the same servo horn issue as the sct. Is the stock one basically garbage?

Yes, it comes with three plastic horns, so get the HB horn, it works perfectly.

I was there and it looked great! I was very surprised to hear it was a stock set up. My buggy was loose all day (wrong tire) but I do love the buggy. Lots more people in my area looking closer at the EB-48.

This was one of the most bumpy tracks I have run and it truly shows how good the buggy is.................

Your buggy looked good also. I think people were using a small pin tire and thats good if the track was left with no water. But the water made it kinda greasy feeling so Josh went with a very unconventional tire in my book . But it worked. Car is great and he is super stoked to be running it. He said next race he is gonna do a video with the car doing a 720 just to 1 up the Austin Blair video The car has an awesome suspension and it just soaks up the bumps.

Everyone seems to be out of stock on this, what gives?

Have a hobbywing 2250kv and 120a SCT ESC on the way, now I'm servo shopping. Would be nice to order a buggy...

Thanks...........thats what I was running a small pin tire. I wanted to run the Axman from VP-PRO but I did not have a set of those. Thats the tire I used on the SCT410 and it hooked up very well, I just had a couple of traction rolls in the sweeper from all the bumps in sc pro. I noticed that even his buggy tried a flip at the end of the straight in the video...........
