Getting ready to mount up some new tires and been a while since I bought any 1/8 wheels...Used to buy AE 83mm wheels and always had good luck with them but wondering if there are any better choices available now for this platform...Just looking for some opinions or experiences with different brand/size wheels...Thanks
I have been runnin the AKA wheels but the AE 83's are great also. haven't had any troubles with either.

Always on any 1/8 gas or electric it's good to have front & rear shock shafts & hinge pins...I would say those are a must & then go from there...
so tomorrow im ordering the tekno, just want a last OK on the cart.
the kit,
tekin rx8 with the 2050kv motor,
savox 1258.
parts:
from and rear arms,
spur gear,
inner hinge pins,
front shock shaft,
CVD's,
AE droop screws,
DE racing skid plate.
any other part i may need? really dont want to get stuck...
any build tips? mods?
doe's the diffs still need a brake-in?
thanks!

I use a novak 2050 on my idoor track and it works very well. I have a 1950 novak that I used before that also work great. In my opinion either would work good. I have a buddy using a 2650 novak and he loves it . I'm thinking of getting a 2650 stator and trying it out.

From that list my opinion is to get spur gear and the new coated shock shafts and that's it. Eveything else is money you could spend else where. One tip on the build is on the servo saver there is a nut on the bottom where you attach the servo link to. Put the nut in before you put the mud gaurds on.
thanks for the tip.
I ran a Tekin T8 Gen 1 2050 motor this weekend in my Tekno EB48.2 geared at 17/44 and it was on rails.

Sorry I was referring to Tekin motors. But yea the Tekin 1900 or 2050 would both be fine. The 2000 is designed for truggy

I took the summer off. In my second race back with this buggy I win the A Main. I see a new generation of the buggy is out already. I won't be buying it any time soon. I like mine just the way it is. Always a little excessive wear in the rear coupler & dogbone, but I just buy another one. I am on my third and I have had the buggy since launch. Is the main difference the angled diff box and should I get and install it? Your thoughts?

Huge ups to Protc3 on here. I just bought his EB48 he recently had up for sale. I just received it and its super nice!! He takes care of his stuff. I can't wait to run this car. The only thing I may change on it is to put +2mm hubs on
to stabilize it a little more. What do you guys think?

Thanks buddy. I like to keep my stuff nice. I never tried those hubs. You can try lengthening the wheelbase to tone it down a bit. It will make it a little more stable. Depending on your track, changing the springs to green front and red rear will make it a little more stable. I like my car agressive but planted.
