I've tried the Losi tank pull and the DE Racing tank pull. I prefer the DE tank pull myself.

Hey Guys just a quick plug for the NB48, have only had one for a month now and its sensational. First outing over our old car and without much suspension tuning its more than a second a lap faster

Were based in Australia and have been dealing in the USA with Pete from fiercercsolutions.com. Top bloke, very knowledgeable and very communicative, keeps you well informed of how your order is progressing

Just got our NT48, will be running it in this weekend, any quirks anyone has found that we should look for? Then again if its anything like the NB48 it will be bulletproof

None of my business but why wouldn't you get it from the Australian distributor coast2coast in QLD he sells it for $620 and has some off the best customer service i have ever seen, i mean you can call him pretty much 7 days a week and he is more than happy to help and fierce has it for $539 which is $695 au plus shipping so it actually cost $100 more i would have understood if you were saving money, at the end of the day we all want the best deal, but you actually paid more, like i said not my business just very curious.

Drews, it would appear that way, but I bought the NB48 thirdhand from here in Australia. My son the driver had a factory drive with another brand (Cars, all parts all free!) We had just won a race on a Sunday and borrowed the Tekno off another driver on the Monday to test. The person we borrowed the car off was the second owner and hadn't even driven the car himself!!
The Tekno was more than a second a lap faster than our present car. After the car was cleaned and our motor / electronics removed we jokingly asked the second owner if he wanted to sell it, he said yes and we did a deal. We got a complete EB48 included as well!! I had sent a queery to coast2coast but got no reply. I called them a few days later and spoke to them, That night I ordered an NT48 through them, got it 3 days later.
The original owner of the NB48 and EB48 was at the track and told us where he had brought it from-FierceRC. He had bought it when the $ was above parity with the US, therefore making it cheaper even with shipping!
There you have it we had a full factory drive and won many races with it but we needed a change, hence now we pay for everything again..........

I will tell you that Tekno is always developing and testing products that will make a great buggy/truggy even better. Tekno will comment on what products they are releasing when they feel it is ready to be released. Keep an eye in the next month or two.

Hes running and testing longer shocks to give the car more droop.

Yeah, I don't think you could get much more droop than the stock parts already provide without getting into binding issues. I think I know what he is trying to do, and it does make sense for certain conditions. I have enough parts laying around to try that on my EB48. May do it just to see what happens.

You won't be able to run what him and Joe are running with stock parts. That's all I can say about it
