My Tekno EB 48.2 is lacking traction, specifically straight line traction after corner out. The local indoor track I race on seems to be fairly low bite. It's surface is clay surface, but there is a loose top layer.

Do you guys have any suggestions for things I can try to improve overall traction please?

Posting up a current setup sheet will help out lot.

I'm running the Tekin RX8 1900kV motor with a 46 t spur and a 16 t pinion gear. I'm running the red Tekno springs in the front and the back. The ride height in the front is 28.5 and in the back I'm running 29.5. I'm running 4000 diff oil in the front and the middle. In the rear I'm running 2000 diff. I'm running Losi shock oil. In the front I'm running 40 shock oil and in the rear I'm running 25.

There could be a few things making the car act odd. The diff setup is pretty light. I usually stay between 10k and 7k in the front, between 15k and 7k in the center and I rarely deviate from 5k in the rear. The front springs seem hard, but that wouldn't have much of a effect on the rear. With out seeing the all of the setup its hard to make suggestions. 

You can find the editable setup sheet here so we can see exactly what you are running.

here (PDF) or here (image) is a setup I think may work for you.

It's not for a track. Its a good base that I start with when I am somewhere I've never been.

Around what diff and shock oils would recommend start testing at?

[nitrodude]

I just purchased a EB48.2, are there any specific parts that I need to have that break often?

[croland1980]

Here is a short list.....
Rear Diff Housing TKR5016B
Front A-arms TKR5036XT
Rear Outer Hinge pins TKR5034
Front Shock Shafts TKR6004
Diff Gaskets TKR5143
Wing Mount TKR5026
Extra bag or two of the 40mm screws TKR1333


That is pretty much it... Now keep in mind... Those parts don't break often... But it is a good general list of what can break first. Unless you hit a telephone pole or something lol....

Do you have any good setups for a lowbite outdoor track?

[croland1980]

Once I get back into town I will post up what I been using on low bite. I know cpt_RedBeard has a lot of setups for many different track surfaces as well too...

I got the car pretty dialed in on low bite, I am going to an indoor high bite track. Do you have any good setups I can take a look.

Hey guys checkout this new Tekno buggy body.

[krazydave]

I builing some shocks for the eb.2, do you guys know if the o-rings fully go inside the caps?

[matrix]

The o-rings do not go inside the shock caps. They go on the actual shock body threads, then the bladder, and then the cap.

I have used the 8x1.3 but the csi seem to give more pack. Still trying to find the right oil combination for the kyosho blue and orange spring combo

Which csi pistons?

I have tried the CSI blue Kyosho pistons, 35F and 30R, and it was too stiff. The car sucked in the whoop section. I'm thinking 30F and 25R would be much better. How do you like the  CSI pistons?
