Is the linkage to the servo at an angle to the servo horn ? This could put stress on the servo . I havent had good luck with Savox , had a 1256 fail from the very first hit put on it .

There is a little bit of angle on it, but noy much. You could shim it up a bit on the saver side.

i have the linkage level with no binding. first servo blew out the top bearing, this one locked up. i have a spectrum 8000 but it is tall and you have to cut out the body so the linkage doesn't rub, looks like i will have to try that...

Looking forward to trying the .2 kit. Waiting for Tower to get some in.

It's a great buggy, but let's not get crazy now.

I love the way you manage the EB48 line. You are so reactive with the "bad parts", the "little errors" of the first batchs...
I hope and think the EB48.2 will be a great success too.
I can imagine your designer is one of the happiest one in this industry !
You are one of the company which has understood the first, that 1/8 electric offroad will be a major class in the future, and then you succeed in doing a very recognizable car with a really different design.
The EB48 success here in France, is unbelievable. Great job !
Bye !
Thanks for the kind words KOULLIT. I've seen your work as well and it's very innovative. France is our strongest market for the EB48 outside of the USA and we hope to travel there one day.

What servo horn are you using? We just came out with some low-mount servo horns because pretty much everything else we tried puts too much stress on the servo shaft.

Try one of these, you should have better results.

They don't have the updated info yet, but they will only receive the new EB48.2 kits.

Sorry if this has been answered but I'm not seeing it... What was the timing for the new .2 buggy to be available?
