Either install the center battery strap or shoe goo in a foam block. If the battery has front/rear movement it can damage it.

This is a buddies brand spanking new kit.. Is this something to contact Tekno about a replacement?

I was planning on doing that. I bought it that way.

Hard to tell if its bent or just the slop. One on the left looks bent. Got nothing to lose send them the video.

Has anyone ran lutz setup and if so how do you like it?

He was hooked up at Fall Brawl Myrtle Beach @ the Badlands, so if you have a medium to high bite track it's worth a try if you want to test something different. I tore through my entire car to upgrade, so I made a few changes to reflect what he's done. I was pretty close however, so don't expect anything drastic. I ran it indoors on a blue groove track and it felt fantastic. I'll test outdoors on a larger loose surface over the weekend more than likely.

will tekno make further improvement to the eb48.2 ? like maybe a eb48.3 ?

I doubt you will see another version anytime soon. The .2 has all the goodies already on it and has proven to be a tough really fast dependable buggy.

there is always some tiny things to make it better

for example a lipo tray that lets more freedom to place the battery rear ( until it touches the center diff tower )
little more space for the esc
improved air flow Under the body
8x16x5mm bearings in the gearbox
optionnal front arms reinforced with steel for the hinge pins
chassis braces that hold the shocks towers too ( to avoid to break the gearbox when hitting the shock tower )
wider top surface of the body to improve the nose dive effect ( to bring the car faster on the ground ). maybe a body à la hb d413 ...
reinforced and a bit wider front bumper ...


did anybody break a gearbox ?

I've broken 2 rear gearboxes. Both were the TKR5016B.

I've yet to break a rear gearbox on the EB or sct, nor have the folks (including rookies) that have borrowed them for a race night. There was a bad batch quite a while back, and some incorrect length screws being used at one point too, but gearbox breakage is not common.

This list could go on and on and on. Ide like to see
Split center diff (ex mugen)
CVD boots (ex serpent) really like to see universals
Aluminium rear hubs
Aluminium front spindles
It would be a 1000 roller if this wasnt optional part. Still sell tho

Wow at all the things ya'll think the buggy needs. My old 1st gen eb48 did really well and the .2 is even better. I personally don't see a need for any major upgrades on the .2 buggy.

I am planning on going to carbon towers on my buggy though most likely. They hold up good on my sct so I can save a tad bit of weight by throwing a set on the buggy.

Anyone else having this issue? or suggestions?

FastPete - How much slop would be tolerable?

Actually if you think about it, they've released a number of improvements since .2. LRC possibilities, arms, all the shock part changes, etc. I don't think a "new buggy" is even remotely in question, but wouldn't be surprised if we don't see a .3 to incorporate all the changes since .2 sooner rather than later.
