The buggy is in great shape, I did price it out and it is considerably cheaper to upgrade all the parts to include the chassis.

Thanks Eric.

You posted NT, but then mention buggy in the next post, do you mean truck or buggy? If it's the buggy, there were a TON of changes and coming from original to .3 I would definitely buy new personally. Truggy, it could be bought new or upgrade, depends.

My apologies, it is a truggy NT48.

How is the NB compared to the EB because I'm thinking about getting into nitro?

Got it. Yes, I would do what I recommended then. FYI, this is the NT48 thread:

Hey Matt, these are the current EB48.3/NB48.3 thread, which will be what most people are watching. In the end, you can make them drive somewhat similar (with obvious differences in power curve), so it's all about what racing you have local and what you're most comfortable with.

I have both Eb48.2 and then NB love them both you wont be sad about going nitro

I realize that all of the cool kids have moved on from the EB/NB 48.1/.2 to the .3, but being cheap, I'm using the older models.

Has anyone run the JN2 rear suspension shims on the older models? I understand that they are supposed to make the .3 easier to drive on power with more corner speed.

The 1.5mm shim is pretty much specific for the EB48.3 and NB48.3 for the testing. I've heard of others testing on the SCT , .2's, and trucks, but that really is out of scope per say.

Most drivers that I've had contact with have been very happy with the .3 testing and the various aftermarket 1.5 spacers and using other smaller 1.5 shims.

I have 3DGY 1.5mm shims for both of the .3 vehicles and they are awesome. I haven't seen anyone use them on the older kits though.

I wanted to ask, are the bodies interchangable from NB48 to NB48.3. ?

Hi,


Yes, bodies are interchangeable. Just use the forward engine position for the NB48.3 .

will those shims still be as much of a tuning option with the new rear hubs? I haven't tried the shims yet but plan on buying the new hubs

Are you talking about the shims that guys were putting under the rear diff case? If so, the hubs are just a better way of accomplishing basically the same thing. Using both together might be too much of a change in most cases.

yes, that's what I was thinking too

Those that have had the NB48 version 1, had you had to clearance your chassis for the starterbox wheel? I have gotten a chassis, yet it has been beveled to accomodate one. I have a new replacement chassis on the way. Also what is the best size flywheel to run with the stock motor mount?

Thanks everyone
