I'm super stoked.....my EB48 should be here monday or tuesday at the latest......

May have to order up a sct410 this week.

Do a build video like you did on your B4. That was very cool.

Is the internal dimension of the EB48 shocks close enough to any other brands that the new RB Bypass shock sleeves would fit?

i'd been a solo driver for long years with several models and brands, and since about a year maybe more i started solo driving under every setup possible seeking the highest that i can get on/off road , wide and narrow roads , you name it . Long story short, the eb48 tops in every single aspects compared to others BUT and unlike i was thinking and most of thought the only weak point in it's design : it's over narrow chassis ( from it's middle going back to the end ).

honestly i thought that the narrow chassis would be a huge advantage for this buggy, i even posted two youtube's reviews just to show how great is the handling of this buggy BUT recently i realized that the chassis should be widen from the rear edge till the middle of it.

during sharp high speeds turns or sudden maneuvering i noticed that it's tail simply spins out like something been thrown from a centrifuge machine if my description helps me here.

when i compared this buggy to the mbx6 eco i felt that difference so clear . The two buggies had nick to nick equal at every single point beside when it comes to high speed sharp turns .

The mbx6 eco wins this exact challenge . No question from my side .
solving this in my humble opinion should be based on the chassis design ..
Triangle shape chassis will make it even better for handling .

Car set up on a narrow vs wide layouts really end up pretty different. I have run about every car available and the tekno when set up right worked the best. The mugen is a safe car but i never really could hit the laps that i can with the tekno. To be honest, the serpent handled the best out of the wide cars. The design of the tekno for me has yielded the fastest laps and runs of all the cars. Narrow cars change direction faster than wide cars which can break the rear loose if the setup isnt right but once it is right, the car is hands down the fastest i have tried and the easiest to drive.

didn't you notice it's rear end thrown the opsite way during charging out of corners specially on mud ?

other that this i didn't find anything wrong about this buggy. check some of my posts within the past two weeks at the mbx6 eco forum .

Desert , you are a basher yes ? (you dont race) . Are you running the stock setup ? You say "especially on mud" ? Any buggy would probably over steer in those conditions and there are many things you can do to change that biggest thing being having the right tire for the conditions you are running in .

MOST owners of EB48's do not bash them they race on tracks and tune the buggy to suit their conditions and driving style .....

Thats the plan.....I was gonna do a build then set up and review video ......hopefully one set up and racing vid on indoor clay and then one for the outdoor track at Leisure.....next Saturday the 15th is my last raceday before I move to California.

Jason did you make some standards or conical? I'm interested if you want to sell a few pair! I need some for the eB and the sct410!!!

Hi Bashemsmashem .. yeh you're right about that i'm a basher and almost everyone here in the forum did read that i'm saying so even above i mentioned that i'm a solo driver for long time . it's just about posting what i felt during comparing it to the mbx6 eco.
maybe pushing these buggies to it's limit reviles something here or there although i admits that no racer will be allowed to use my setup as it's not approved no with ROAR regulations nor with any small local racing track.

Sweet. That stop motion build video was awesome.

If they are finally going to race on the outdoor track at LH that day I may see ya up there. The last couple weeks I haven't been able to get out and race and I'm jonesing for some track time. Normally I'd go to kings on Sunday but with that Sunday being father's day I think Saturday at LH will work out better. Do you know if they have opened the outdoor track yet?

Although with the MWNS that same day it may be a light turn out for 1/8.

I made them domed on top with light champhers on the holes to help direct oil with less turbulence. I went with a slightly thicker wall for the holes due to this. I want to reduce air bubbles as well as get the standard dampening you would expect from this size piston.

Let me see how they work and if they go as planned, i can make some to sell.. I just dont want to jump the gun, sell them and find out they sucked after i ship them out

I never ran in mud but i know what you mean. This car is aggressive and does need to be set up for loose conditions. A car that is too locked in is not fast in racing though. This car really is a high performance race machine. Post what setup you are running and i am sure everyone can give you a hand getting the car tamed for those conditions. Myself along with many others have been running this car for a long time. I know what makes this car work for every track condition i encountered. I havent had a race where i couldnt get it running great.

Anyone running Traction Drive and having issues with very brittle Clutch Bells breaking teeth?

/Birger

I dont know of anyone who runs it but if teeth are breaking, i would say they are a little on the overhardened side.
