My setup is very close to yours . The only thing that I have tried that eliminated the push was switching the caster blocks and trailing spindles out and running the .2 spindle/ blocks. Unfortunately this made the buggy twitchy and difficult to run clean lines so i put the .3's back on. My track is a 1/10 scale style track with 3 180s and does not flow well . How do you like that center diff at 10k?? Thinkin about goin heavier on my center diff as my front tires balloon a lot.

Woke up early this morning to start on the buggy. Got it last night around 8 from ups and started around 530 this morning on it. First kit I've built and it's been going flawlessly. Can't wait to finish

I loved building this kit . I goofed and wedged my shims in a bit crooked on the diffs but they bent back straight after a few tries .

if you haven't already, look on the first page of this thread. There are several handle build tips that will ease the process. Like the chamfers on the dif case to ease the shim insertion.

If I recall correctly, I ran these back in my eb48 days which assuming nothing has changed shock dimension wise should still fit:

and by default, these would be a cheap option then:

Ran against some Tekno's today, track with small jumps mainly a driving track, that battery upfront definitely gave an advantage with on power steering.

If Tekno makes an EB48.4 version, I hope they look into including what has become some of the common items to pick up out of the box. Be a nice touch.

I like the way it handles. Just looking to fix the push in long corners. We really only have one semi long turn, but it's right before the straight. It would be great if I can get it turning better there without sacrificing the handling elsewhere.

I noticed my servo saver was about 5 or 6 turns out. Now it's 1. Racing tomorrow, will see what happens.

Actually i havent had any issues at all with the diff shims. ive got the front and rear diffs, arms, sway bar, etc all done. my forearms and fingers were killing me so i stopped haha. just time to get the steering together, shocks, and electronics/chassis done by tomorrow

What battery up front do you speak of?

Tekno's standard battery position is more "upfront" than durango's setup where there is a receiver box towards the front with the battery more towards the rear, hence more on power steering. Variety of designs these days that going on as well taking a queue probably from tekno.

Sheesh! How are you guys getting away with such light shock oils like 30-40?

I've tried all oil weights and did multiple rebuilds of my shock and if I have light oils I felt as though the rebound was way to fast and made the car very bouncy and easily upset.

I'm currently running 50f/55r.

could be relative to your track conditions as well as piston choices.

Has anyone ever shattered an outdrive on the front diff? I dont really know how it happened. I came down a little rough on a landing from someone tapping me in the air. I was able to make it to the next little jump and then boom. I'm running a 3x4 buggy.

I snapped one in half a couple weeks ago.

I've never had an issue with shattering outdrives, but the new ones are even tougher than the standard ones, so maybe you should try a set of these as a replacement.

all done with assembly!!! Just need to solder up the motor, paint the body and find more double sided tape for my esc. Going with a simple white body for the first one. Not a big fan of the stock body. Build was pretty much flawless, i did notice a few differences between the 'build manual' and the 'set up sheet' in the back but it wasnt a major problem or anything. Cant wait to take this out either this weekend or next!

Edit: got it wired painted and running. Had some serious issues with the spray cans so my white turned into a trippy purple since I added metallic blue to it. I also got to excited and forgot to cover up the window with the stickers they gave you haha. Thankfully this will turn into a practice body.
