Yes! Super durable, turns on a dime and handles bumps like no other with the extra long suspension. If you are thinking of getting one, go ahead, you will not regret it one bit

What type of track will you be racing on, what is the size of track you will be racing on, and is the track smooth or bumpy?

Outdoor, clay/dirt, bumpy, dry, sometimes wet, I think about medium size.

I run a different vehicle now but was running a lot of tekno previously, checking out the new eb48.3 I have to say it does look much better on the loose rough stuff here. If i was in the market again for another buggy, it would definitely be getting a good hard look from me.

One thing I do wonder, with the price drop, is there something new on the way, maybe some running changes, etc?

You'll do fine with any of the vehicles you listed at speedrc. It's a smedium (smallish medium) size track that is pretty tight to where you really can't stretch your legs out 100% with ebuggy, so it's more so technical than it is a fast track. The eb48 will do just fine there seeing as how fast it turns.

Wow! That's crazy because I have a 20t and thinking about running maybe 21t. I can't imagine keeping the thing from doing doughnuts with a 16t.

So I got everything installed and running. This set up is pretty quick. How quick? Not sure. I've only done street runs and didn't put it in the track.

I did notice that my center diff was pretty hot after zipping up and down the street. Not sure if that's normal. Don't remember my center diff in my other teks getting warm or hot.

street offers so much grip that the center diff has too much torque ( coming form the rear wheels ) to deal with.
I think it will work more cooler on a track

Yeah I figured the heat was from the 50ft wheelies. lol. Other than that, I have to wait for my body to come back to get to a track. She feels good though.

This buggy should do really good there. I would recommend getting the universal driveshafts though if it's bumpy.

Default Arm Mod

Is that the arm mod in the second picture in the link? Also what does it do to the buggy's performance?
