Maybe such thing was noticed only by me, maybe it's so obvious so nobody mentioned this here, but anyway: somewhere between 2.5 and 3 liters buggy came into broken-in state. More plush in suspension, faster squaring on corner exit. I've heard that Losi develop required slops and begin to run as supposed near to the end of first gallon. Of course Tekno is not Losi, but did anyone feel same thing during first gallon? Or it's just my adaptation to this buggy?

Mp9's great handling comes from a super free drive train.

The increased performance is probably the bearings breaking in but also your engine breaking in and you prob have smoother power delivery and such...
About the new tanks... I spoke to Thomas at Tekno yesterday and it should be definitely by end of month but I got the sense it would be more like 2 weeks.
A diff oil will never stay completely clear. I change them about once a month when I race every saturday but more because I want to but not necessary

Hello,
As most NB48 owners know, there was an issue with the original fuel tank’s durability. We have worked very hard to correct the problem since the launch of the vehicle. We have received our new updated tanks and we are ready to send out replacements to all affected NB48 owners. The new tanks have been flawless in testing and we are very comfortable releasing them to the public knowing that the issues have been resolved. We have also improved many other areas of the tank in the process, providing you with the best tank on the market.
Revised tank features:
We would like to recognize and thank our customers for their patience and incredible support while we worked through this issue. This issue is a little different from our standard warranty policy so we are dealing with the replacement of the NB48 tanks accordingly.
