Yeah I think I seen your post but wasn't that kind of limited to a single track anomaly also I think the rear diff case on truggy is different on account of longer rear drive shaft

EB48 .2 versions are snapping at the upper shock tower mount.

Try a longer screw in those two upper mount holes as well as the chassis brace to help absorb some of the blow. This looks like repeated upside down landings and at speed pulling it, you can buy small angle brackets like those the guy made at lowes or home places usually.

Is that included with kit coming from other retailers?

As for the rear diff case breaking. I have done and seen many spectacular crashes at my track with no rear case breakage. Im not sure what you guys are doing to break them. I would say make sure when you put the screws in the case that you are not over tightening them. That could be putting stress on the case and cause it to break.

+1 this is the first i've heard of it. I've used both cases on my .1 with no issues.

Over tightening of the screws will also cause the case to crack and break over time. I suggest only using hand tools and no power tools to build or tighten things. This may help.

Nope, the ET48 and EB48.2 share the same rear bulkhead / diff case.

Tower just notified me that my payment was approved and my order is being processed. They also applied my $90 off coupon from when I preordered it in December.

Now the only thing I need is time to build it.

+1 1/10 4wd growing around here
-100 2WD SC on life support, maybe actually dead

That's kind of a regional based opinion I think

I don't know where that info came from (2WD SC), but the only thing I can tell you is that 2WD SC is definitely not the next platform .

good call.. SC will remain the most popular 2wd class for outdoors, but indoor buggy is back up a lot.. but nobody runs them much outdoors around here.

4wd buggy has been slowing gaining ground, with the new losi and updated version of Durango and others this wouldn't be a bad area but it would require a lot of part re-work..

With what parts are available I would thing a 1/8 SC would be the easiest class to jump into.. be pretty hard to turn anything you have now with out new molds into a 1/10 buggy.
