Not sure I follow...

Bag A in the manual shows TKR5112 then a bunch of shims, then a bearing before going on to the spur gear. At least, that is what my printed manual shows.

Online, the current manual doesn't show this. I am wondering what changed on the vehicle so you don't have to use these shims. From that info, I can determine if I can remove the shims.

The motor mount was changed in October last year to take up the slack.

With all due respect, that was the one thing i would have liked to have seen on the eb48.2. I feel a new beefier motor mount would be a great idea and would greatly benefit the et48 as well. I would definitely order a new XT motor mount if it was available. Only problem with the stock mount is it develops a little bending on the lower lip of the mount. The only two things needed to make this kit as great as i can be are a new motor mount and maybe a spring steel driveshaft.

Is there a way I can tell by looking at the mount if its the new one or old one?

Looks like we got a few more today.

I thought they looked the same. I couldn't tell the difference but i wasn't really looking. You could always depth mic the bore or just dry fit everything and see if you can get the shims in. The bore should be about .6mm or .023 (ref) shallow if it's the new compared to the old. I could see it if i looked (that's what i do for a living) average person, probably not

You guys offer great prices, just need to get you more inventory seems like everything I want flys off the shelves by the time I pull my CC out.

On another note, because the EB48.2 pictures reminded me, does Tekno have a deal with Tekin? The original EB pics had the mamba monster but now all Tekno kits have Tekin systems?

Just gotta put the best electronics in the best vehicles!

Agreed as you can see below ha.

Anyone looking for a new EB48 original for cheap?

Whats cheap?

Can anyone say the purpose (benefit) of the HD Servo Saver Spring?

I have had what seems to be an intermittent centering problem, where I find that I need to adjust my steering trim from time to time. I have isolated it as to NOT be the servo itself. Everything seems free of binding. Wondering if it just needs a stronger spring or perhaps crank down on the existing spring a little more.

That does sound like is skipping a tooth or two inside the servo. The spring should align the cam in the saver easily. Pull the steering post out and check to make sure the cam halves rotate freely and that they are clean and smooth.

thanks for the info. So is it the metal part or the plastic one that changed? If its the plastic one, may just order it then.

I have a first release EB48.
Just picked up (2) new TKR6008 for a shock rebuild and noticed that there is a new group of two molded pieces on the tree.
The parts are:
---- upper shock bushing (2)
---- internal o-ring spacer (2)
---- internal o-ring spacer (2)
---- shock piston (2)
---- bottom piece of cartridge assembly (longer, redesigned)
---- UNKNOWN (2)
Unless the questioned pieces are an updated upper shock mount bushing, I'd like to know what the piece is.
Note: the URL above is the 'old' TKR6008.
Thanks
