I recently upgraded to universal on my EB48.3. Today something happened that I have never seen before. One of my front wheels and the whole axle fell off. It turns out that the only thing holding the wheel/hub and axle in place is the inner spindle bearing. This one gave e way.

It's that way in all cars... The bearings hold the assembly in place... If the bearing dies that's what happens, try to check your bearings more often... If they feel at all gritty you should replace them because the damage that a blown bearing can do to your kit is usually much more expensive to repair than the cost of replacing the bearing itself.

These bearing were only about an hour old. I like to take care of my machinery but I am not going to check bearings that often. I am thinking that the universals use smaller diameter bearings than the CVs and the stresses may be higher causing them to fail. I base that on the fact that I have never had this happen on the EB48 or SCT410 with the CVs. Actually, I have never had this happen on any car before. Then again, it could be I got a bad bearing. Just putting it out there to see if anyone else has seen the problem.

ok guys so my local indoor track only allows 2s batteries. would I be ok just throwing a 2s battery in my 1800kv 4s setup on my eb48.3 or should I get a different motor? has anyone ran a superlite setup on eb48.3? not sure what to do
#715
You need a dedicated 2s motor. I was able to get my full weight buggy (.2 version) down to about 6 lbs by running a lot of aluminum screws, aluminum, turnbuckles, and heavy use of the dremel on a lot of plastic parts. Even if you can't get it that low, as long as you're right around 7 lbs your 2s setup will work fine. A lot of stock SC trucks are up around that weight now.

what pinion size do you guys like to run with your eb48.3 with tekin 1900 kv motor? I was thinking 18 or 19t. I run an 18 tooth in my sct410.3 with tekin 4300 hd and like it a lot.
#717
I don't have a .3 but the gearing is the same between the different version, I run a 19t with that motor. Never gets too hot and plenty of top end and torque.
I run a 18t in my 410 with that motor as well.

does anybody like SMC Lipo's or are they a waste of money? I have always bought higher priced/name brand batteries. Is it worth it? Thanks!!
