Lucky lucky....my sct410 diffs were a 100% improvement over my eb48 diffs...I wonder if tekno will stop carrying complete diffs now that they are through all of the release 1-3 ones that were 2 tight, leaked and required break in. Wish I would have waited lol

one thing i found odd was that it has the same pinion as the sct410 (it needed the stack of shims/the flat spot enlarged)

WoW! My fingers are I crossed I get that lucky! I might just run downstairs and look to see if mine has new diff parts. I am building the 410 first since my son's birthday is Wednesday and "technically" it is his. LOL

I got to race my EB 48 for the 1st time since october yesterday. Car sat since october, i didnt rebuild a thing, threw some tires on and took 3rd in th a main. The car didnt miss a beat. Still loving this thing. I have one from the first batch of cars from danny. This is a pimp car

as soon as i opened my kit up it had the add on to the manual right on top with the pinion shims stapled to it

Seems that way, I went and opened my 48 and it appears the diffs are the newer ones (same as 410) They pins are notched and I think the old (first batch ) are round? Also there is an addendum and shims for the pinion's.

So with that said, my kit just came and was backordered a few weeks.......What are all new difference's for batch 3?
And Tekno...Thank you! It says a lot about the company when running changes are made this quickly! Top Notch!

Can you tell which arms are on it? I would think that the original ones would eventually become the lightweight option and that the beefy ones would become the stock part like the sct410...could be wrong though.
Edit: meant to say the sct410 seem like HD ones

I got a new kit (for spare parts) a few weeks ago and it has the old diffs still. I got it locally but it was pretty new stock. At least I got it real cheap.
Edit,
Can I just buy the SCT410 diff gears (TKR5150) and cross pins and use them in the EB48 with no issues?

yes you can buy the sct410 gears and cross pins and use them in the eb48 but if you are redoing a diff tekno recomended to change the diff cup also

the diffs were extremly smooth even with out breaking them in
