Thats what I like about the CSI pistons. If you get to a nice pack point, but feel you don't have the shaft speed necessary (shocks aren't returning to the suspension's base ride height fast enough) you simply move to a more progressive piston and and the pack seems to stay about the same.

So have I and it wasn't resolved until I sanded it down. Hence the reason I asked this: How long is quite a while ago? I received my kit a little over a month ago (when that latest batch became available via a number of vendors) and it still had the centering issue.
So either they have another issue, have old parts still getting into new kits, or it's not fully fixed.

Went to the opening day of the local outdoor track and we had 2 full heats of e buggy and 12 of the 18 buggies that raced were Tekno EB48's ! My son was TQ with his and would have won but couldnt hold it together for the full main .
Buggies worked awesome all day and we only had 1 front arm breakage from stuffing it into the face of the landing from a huge 35ft step on/step off feature jump .
Everyone was lovin their EB48's and some of the other drivers that had different manufactures buggies said they were going to switch soon as well ......

I did it on mine a couple days ago but haven't gotten to drive it since sanding. I had a first run kit and have been slightly annoyed by the non centering all along. I must have missed the first time the fix was discussed.

I assume that means you cant hurt it by going to far and sanding one that doesn't need sanding.

Actually I think if u sand the tips of the saver off just a little to keep it from bottoming out it will help as well. Cause if any dirt gets into saver and settles in the bottom it will not center properly .

Was talking to a couple of guys in our area that just got the Tekno in the last week and told them I was going to email about my drive shaft wobbling out of the box. They both said theirs did as well. Is this common?

i believe the official explanation is that it's normal to have some wobble with no load. once there is load on the system (once it's on the ground), the wobble goes away and/or doesn't effect performance.

RaceEm RC in Rockford IL , kind of a haul from LHR but its a great track with a great bunch of guys running it . Only drawback is their isnt any onsite power so you either have to charge off your car battery or bring a generator .
Here is a pic of the track , nice dirt/clay mix that has good traction especially after they water , which they do when needed .

They are also hosting a midwest electric series race in a week or 2 but I am not sure of the date ....
