correct on the auto parts store for the red grease. You can use the black on the diff rings as well but i found the red will stay put longer.
also when it comes to shimming the diffs you do not always need the 2 shims on the ring side for the diffs. If you can not get them in there you do not need to force them.

would recommend reviewing the first page, good info there.
From there, I would review setups that appear to fit your track conditions and see what parts they used for setup.
Some things that are nice to have on hand I think would be different pistons than stock (6 x 1.5s I am liking, kyosho style but Teknos should be even better, I am just cheap lol) and the LRC rear toe in block.
Depending on how rough your conditions are, give the steel spur gear a look too. I personally run them on all my Tekno's due to conditions out here.
Other things would be more setup related, like spring selection I would say.

Instead of the Green Slime I use motorcycle shock oring lube. I think it works better and it's cheaper. Instead of $4 for a tiny little tube you can get a one ounce tub for $10. I use it all the time and still have a lot left. The Green Slime goes quick. https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p...-O-Ring-Grease

Gentlemen,
I am about to join the ranks of an EB48.2 owner! I have done research almost daily as I am really getting into the hobby. Although I've done plenty of wrenching on my 8.2e rtr, this will be my first kit build. I feel this is a more knowledgeable and professional forum as compared to others, so I was just wondering if there are some things I should consider before starting the build. I don't want to screw it up. Thanks!

It's an awesome buggy I'm sure you're going to love it.

New parts now available:
TKR5215B – Brake Cams (10° offset, steel, 2pcs)
These brake cams will improve the braking response and feel on the NB and NT48 vehicles. They are also compatible with our EB/ET48 brake kits. The new cams feature a 10 degree offset that provides quicker engagement of the brakes. The offset ensures the linkage does not bind before reaching full brake and also allows better use of fiberglass brake discs (TKR5206) with steel pads (TKR5214). The shape of the cam itself has been rounded to enhance brake feel, making the brake curve more linear. The cams are CNC machined from quality steel, then hardened and black oxidized for durability.
Features:
•Stronger braking power.
•Quicker braking response.
•Enhanced brake feel (more linear).
•CNC machined and hardened for durability.
•Compatible with NB/NT48 as well as EB/ET48 (optional brake kit required for electrics).
TKR1238 – Droop Adjustment Screws (M4x10mm, 8pcs)
Our new droop screws makes it a breeze to set droop on your vehicle. A 2.0 hex is machined on the shank end for easy adjustment and a normal 2.5mm hex is on the button head. They are compatible with virtually all 1/8th scale vehicles including the Tekno RC EB/NB/ET/NT48 and also our SCT410. Manufactured from high quality steel. One package will outfit 2 vehicles.
Features:
•Easily and simply adjust your droop.
•Compatible with Tekno RC EB/NB/ET/NT/SCT and most other 1/8th scale vehicles.
•Hardened steel construction.
TKR6065 – Shock Piston Blanks (CNC, conical, 16 dimples, 16mm)
Made from self lubricating Delrin material with our exclusive conical design, these CNC pistons have 16 dimples to help you create custom pistons easily and are machined to perfection. Any hole size and configuration you’ve ever needed is now possible.
Features:
•CNC machined for precise fit.
•Fully customizable piston configuration for your unique track conditions.
•Unique conical design allows for different compression and rebound characteristics.
•Smoothest suspension action.
•Compatible with most 16mm shock systems including Tekno RC EB/NB/ET/NT/SCT.
TKR1240 – Lower Shock Mount Screws (2 clockwise threads, 2 counter clockwise threads, EB/NB/SCT)
Ensure that your shock screws never come loose with these CW and CCW shock mount screws. These screws also feature a dimple for easy droop/shock length measurements. Rather than threading the screws all the way, each screw features a shoulder that fits more precisely into the pivot ball on the shock rod end. This reduces slop and reduces wear on the pivot ball compared to a fully threaded screw. They are CNC machined from high quality steel then hardened for durability. The black screws have CW threads and install on the front left and rear right shocks. The silver screws have CCW threads and install on the front right and rear left shocks. A perfect upgrade for your EB/NB48 and SCT410/EB48SL.
NOTE: These are not compatible with the ET or NT48, however they are compatible with many other vehicles on the market.
Features:
•CW and CCW threads will not loosen during a race.
•Machined dimple for easier droop measurements.
•Partially threaded to reduce slop and reduce wear on pivot balls.
•CNC machined steel construction, hardened for durability
•Easily identifiable CW/CCW (black/silver)
•Uses a 5.5mm nut driver to install

I'm torn between building a 4wd 1/10 buggy or a 1/8 buggy this winter...Tekno is really popular at the local track so I've been eyeing them up...is the eb48.2 going to be discontinued anytime soon? If I decided to go with a 1/8 buggy should I order this one or wait to see if they release something new?

most companies won't announce until they are ready to release a new version of the vehicle. I would say if it matters to you that much to not get caught with an older version of the vehicle, I would wait till you need to actually use it.
Unless something radically changes though in general what i am seeing with Tekno you can upgrade the platform as needed too.
