Haha respect sour powered!!
Also big sites like amain and tower are gonna have them in stock in about a week or so anyway. Tekno's website will have them in stock in a day or two I assume, although they already announced its back in stock on their FB page, it still only gives the option to back order.

The manual calls for the front toe links to be about 77mm between the rod ends, this gives the truck a lot of toe out. I built them to 80mm which gives you around 1* of toe out.
The stock droop screws have to be adjusted from the bottom which isn't ideal, I installed the droop screws from the RC8T which can be adjusted from the top or bottom.
The bump on the motor side of center brace will have to be sanded down if you a 15t or smaller pinion in order to properly set mesh with the spur gear.
Other than that, its super easy to build. I'm sure someone that has had some more driving time with their truck can give you some tips on the shock and diff oil.

Most of us have changed the stock diff oils from 20/20/10 to 10/15/5. This is the main change most of us have made.
I am personally running stock pistons, shock oil, and springs still.
I only have one race day on the kit, but it felt good once I changed to the 10/15/5 diff setup.
Just make sure you reinforce the front of your body well and you will be good to go.

Ok, So I ordered my truggy today and I was looking for a base setup for a loose track and some setup info. Are you guys happy with the stock oils? Anything i should know, look out for? do different?
Thanks upfront. I just dont wanna read about 2500 posts

These are just some of the notes I've compiled by reading every page. Our first ET48 comes this Monday (gonna be a long weekend)--so will post additional tips after she's built and running.
Thanks Tekno for making us another awesome platform!!!

Is this your first Tekno ride? If so I think you'll find it amazing right outta the box. Some of the earlier tips the guys gave are good. I've been hearing yellow springs in the rear are a must. Also-guys were saying run a 14mm screw in the rear gearbox instead of a 10mm--helps prevent case breakage. 10/15/5 and 7/10/5 sounding good for a loose track. Some guys liking the Tekno metal spur--I for one will be running metal for outdoors--but this will come down to personal preference. 16-18t pinion is most popular. 2000kv truggy motor on 4s most popular. Run all 3 braces. Don't skimp on cheap servos. Lastly--tires tires tires!!!!

I bought the 410 on release date and i was really displeased with the stock set, I thought it was horrible. After a couple of months and lots of track time, really came around. Now that setup is the stock setup. Honestly, I just wanted to Grip and Rip. Do the Fine tuning later

i came from mugen to tekno. I have had my eb48 for a while now. The mugens seemed more " stable" on an outdoor track. Indoors teknos are amazing. But after a while of tinkering i found the base .2 setup is pretty darn good. The 15 degree spindle carriers helped alot . I found myself able to turn alot faster laps with the tekno. I still struggle with it a little outdoors but I love it.........now the truggy.....holy @#*& it is amazing! Easy to drive and so much fun. I hate to say it but I wish they made a wider eb48 buggy. The fat ladies are a bit easier to drive lol

Need some advice!i just ordered the et48 with a tekin gen2 rx8 and 2250kv motor.the battery I will be using is a track power 6800.with that being said what will be the best gearing to get the most run time from this set up?reason I'm asking is because I will have to run with the nitros and don't believe I can hang with them for a 20 minute main without a battery swap.any advice would help.
