EB48SL 1/8 Superlight 4WD Elec Buggy Kit

EB48SL Features:

Chassis:

• 4mm CNC lightened aluminum black anodized chassis.
• Super narrow layout – widest point is only 125mm (less than 5”) mudguard-to-mudguard.
• Class leading front and rear clearance (short chassis overhang) provides better bump handling and jump landing.
• Lightweight aluminum pivot balls and suspension bushing are standard.
• New lighter camber link rod ends and turnbuckles.
• Adjustable, LCG lightweight wing mount.
• Integrated battery tray/mud guard, battery is sunken into chassis for a super low CG.
• Integrated electronics tray/mud guard for easy removal of electronics.
• Spacious, enclosed, easy access radio box with integrated transponder mount.
• Adjustable chassis brace system for fine tuning flex with front, center, and rear braces.

Motor Mount:

• 2-piece CNC aluminum motor mount with precision dual clamping gear mesh adjustment.
• LCG lightened motor mount insert is standard.
• Split center diff mount for easy maintenance.
• Lightweight direct-to-diff mount design.
• Uses standard MOD 1 pinion gears (TKR4171-TKR4190).

Differentials and Drivetrain:

• 3 fluid filled adjustable super lightweight diffs.
• Newly redesigned precision diff gears with innovative 1-piece cross-pin design for increased durability.
• Lightened outdrives and diff couplers used throughout.
• Aluminum tapered aluminum center driveshaft.
• Angled rear gearbox with large bearings reduces wear.
• CV driveshafts with captured pins on all 4 wheels.
• Standard 17mm wheel hex fits standard 1/8th wheels without the use of adapters.
• Straight center driveline and less rotating mass = better acceleration and efficiency.

Shocks:

• 16mm bore CNC aluminum hard anodized threaded shock bodies.
• 4mm hardened steel polished shock shafts.
• 4mm 7075 aluminum LCG shock towers are standard.
• New clamping spring perches with captured shock boots.
• Innovative conical piston design (not just tapered) provides varied compression and rebound rates.
• Fully adjustable long travel suspension geometry maximizes stability and traction while providing superior cornering and on-power steering.
• Triple guide design for true consistent shaft action.
• Options for vented cap, emulsion, or standard shock configurations out of the box.
• Optional springs and sway bars available.

Suspension and Steering:

• All new SCT410.3 front and rear suspension geometry.
• New V2 hinge pin brace system for incredible adjustability.
• Adjustable front arm sweep and angle to make the car more aggressive (swept forward), or easier to drive (swept back).
• New longer rear sway bar for better consistency.
• ‘Narrow pivot’ steering posts provide ‘0 bump’ geometry with almost 0 steering slop.
• 4mm inner, 3.5mm outer hinge pins, polished for smooth action.
• Adjustable Ackermann and bump-steer (bump in, 0 bump, bump out).
• Steering system is fully supported on precision ball bearings. No bushings here.

Other Features:

• Exceptional wear characteristics. Leave the slop and warping to the other guys.
• Easily adjust anti-squat, rear toe, front arm angle, front arm sweep, roll center, toe, camber, wheelbase, Ackermann, bump steer, suspension geometry out of the box..
• Extremely easy to work on with minimal screw count.
• Shares many parts with the SCT410/EB/NB/ET/NT48 = less parts in your toolbox.
• Compatibility with many existing parts and options.
• All metric hex hardware.
