ok. I just built them like that (cone down) 35 front 30 rear oil and the rebound fills harder to pull out that the pack when you push it in. im going to try it tomorrow before I switch it, but it don't feel that good on the floor

You aren't paying 70% of the original cost, you are paying 90% of 80%, or in this case, 71.99%

Just picked up a EB48 today and want to get CSI Shock pistons to run in it. I know CSI does not make it for the Tekno yet but I believe the Kyosho CSI pistons work. Is anybody running these with any kind of luck?

Yes the Kyosho work. I picked up the set and am running the blue right now with 35-30 green/orange on an indoor track. Outdoor some people are running blue at 37.5-32.5 with good luck. I ran mine at 35-30 and was quite pleased indoor/outdoor, But going up for outdoor would have been a little better. I really aired it out and thought, yeah....tad bit thicker. Shaft speed was fast and nice. My tires looked like they were glued to the ground

Don't do that brother! We need pack on the compression side for the outdoor big stuff. You'll be bottoming out like crazy with them set the way you have it now.

Ill show you Saturday what I mean.

18-19T. You'd need a pretty big track to run a 21T.

Is Tekno fixing to release a V2 eb48? Just curious since they are on sale everywhere right now for around $50 off. I would like to pick a new one up but if they are fixing to release an updated one I will hold off.

I'm not sure the EB48 really needs more fixing. It's a pretty good buggy as it is. There are a number of reasons to place an item on sale, and my guess is that it is to lure customers away from other brands.

I'm torn between a dex408 or a eb48..... I know there is a dex408V2 being released next month. Don't know if I should wait for that or buy a new tekno eb48 now? Are all the bugs fixed in the Tekno buggy?
