I appreciate that. I have been doing this for many years and also design pan cars for onroad. I am very familiar with suspension systems as i have some very innovative and functional designs for my cars. I am actually in the design fase of a camber link, dual oil damper front suspension for pan cars. Pretty much the 1st time ever tackled due to lack of space. I am no stranger to how suspension works and how to adjust it. Hell, i have to calculate where the adjustments go.

If you get a minute and can fill out a setup form for your current setup , that would be sweet. got the 2.8's and arms on the way.

Hey guys, I just picked up a used EB48 roller from a friend and I'm looking to sell. It is a really low use car, comes with some spares but not a lot (arms, diff cases, wing mounts...). It is in need of a front shock tower and a hinge pin (since hes a dork and planted it into a 2x4). The parts are backordered, but i'll sell it the way it sits. $325 shipped. PM and ill get you some pics in the AM. It's going to the for sale forum tomorrow.

Default rear shock tower

Hi guys
Anyone broken a rear alloy shock tower on an eb48 yet!
Is it a good idea to have one as a spare !

I've seen your site and designs- very nice!

I WISH onroad had a substantial presence here in Raleigh but offroad is king here so when in Rome... I'm glad smaller firms like Tekno are having great success by some simple formulas- real good designs, innovation, and that customer service you can't put a price on.

I haven't raced circuit since the mid and late 80's up in Toledo, Ohio.
1/12 pan cars and 1/8 nitro, fun times!

I don't think anyone has but I bought a spare front, possibly rear too, can't remember, during the recent Amain sale. It never hurts to have too many spares.

They aren't rears. They're the midsized ones unfortunately. Was there to practice on Sunday only to find out the track was closed. That was awesome.

Hey Mike hows it going?
I might, I haven't decided on that or Mimi`s on Sunday. I guess I will try to go to where the crowd is going. Are people getting a roll call up yet?

I tried and tried and tried to get used to the K orange rear springs but I never liked the way the felt. I keep going back to the blue (this is indoor). I run light oil in the back too and the combination of light oil and K orange spring didn't work well. The blue spring and light oil felt better everytime.

Finally put the thing together, anodized 90% of the aluminum and finally got to run. Great car, i just need to tune it and i think the rear diff went out. Im taking the dang thing back apart to investigate. What do ya guys think! Big Kudos by the way Tekno!

I think you should powdercoat those springs and tidy up the wiring a little bit.

The body and the anodizing looks nice!
