Stupid question time. I just bought a new set of hinge pin holder inserts and noticed some that are different than what comes with the kit. They have an offset hole, but have two dots instead of one. Are they an in between degree size?

Yes, Tekno recently updated the inserts to include .5 degree options. Enjoy!

Yes, they are an in-between setting, so now each pill can create 5 settings versus 3 for better fine tuning. I haven't updated the first post yet to include the settings but it will be up soon.

Bort beat me to it
Am I that slow of a typer?

I use 4°, and absolutely love it! Our track never really grooves up, and gets really dusty and fluffy. It has had very little maintenance , and is getting pretty blown out. This was the last little bit to get the buggy locked in for me.

I miss having my locked in EB. Ive been driving my jq and i cant find traction anywhere for that car. Currently have one backordered and im waiting patiently

got to drive a tekno team drivers eb the other night and it drove so nice it wasn't even fair! I was doing my best trying to muscle the jq around the track and when I drove his EB, it was so smooth and easy to drive. Really made me want mine to be here already.

He said he was running Curtis Door's setup with a few changes. I don't know what those changes were, but his car was dialed.

Did anyone else see the small mention of a lightweight version of the eb48 for indoor racing mention in RC car action. It was one line in a caption for RCX 2013. Been trying to find some more information about this but no luck so far.

I haven't heard about it, but I would guess it's a EB48 with a lot of the carbon and lighter weight SCT410 parts.

I am pretty sure that's just a 410 converted to Ebuggy. Tekno website lists parts to do it.

Add another EB48 first for me, front shock shaft snapped!

Using the outside dot with the 1.5, the EB48 really was really suffering for steering off power and pushing like crazy. The back end was locked down so hard it was almost impossible to loose traction. I went to the middle (3.5?) and steering picked up a bit, loosened up the rear slightly, so I could whip it around corners easier.

Even though there were only four of us running (we normally have a full main or two of e-buggy), it was really great racing. Halfway through, there was less than 2 seconds in between all of us (within 40' front to back person). The only other EB48 driver (David) sealed a win and I snapped a front shock shaft as I slammed into someone when they spun out right after a tabletop with no room to correct. We hit nose to nose and the EB48 lost this time. The only parts I've broken are nose to nose encounters. Last time it was a shock tower and arm when someone missed a jump and ended up the wrong direction on the straight (full speed hit as I was tearing down the straight).

Good night of racing and some wrenching to do.
