Is the setup online somewhere? I always like to see what others change on the car.

Hello guys!!! My name is sidney tripp an I am addicted to Rc racing.
And my 6yr son is just starting too.
I just ordered my tekno eb48.2 . Is there any building tips to look at? Diff oils? I did race kyosho buggy so I do have the springs and 1.3 x 8 pistons all ready. I have seen these buggy in action and take a lot of beatings so parts will be basic and understood. Arms -shock shafts - graphite towers only cause I like the carbon.and drive shafts. And spur. And bearings. Extra body.and the alum hinge pin mounts. What else would u all buy?

Is there a conversion "kit" to get up to the v.2?
Or do you just have to get the parts? (*and if so, what are the parts?)
I'm asking about going from the EB48 to the EB48.2, not the lightweight conversion.

wondering if anyone has a prefered method of sealing up the vent holes in the aluminum shock caps. I'm thinking about using some JB weld otherwise a decent epoxy should do the trick being my current train of thought. Please advise if you have done this and have any tips or tricks up your sleeve...
