IMPORTANT NOTE: EB48 differential assembly
Hello, Just a quick note to let you know about something we’ve come across during assembly of the differentials on the EB48 buggy.

Having designed and manufactured dozens of chassis for other manufacturer’s vehicles, we were in a good position to exploit all that we had learned and focus it into a new platform. In 2007…
EB48:Part 2 – Bulkheads and Diffs
Designing a whole car is a daunting task. But taken one part at a time, it’s not much different than our other aftermarket products. The big difference is the fact that it’s a clean slate, a blank page. You aren’t locked in to anything yet so you can do whatever you want. But you still…

That something was a wing mount and throttle servo mount for the Traxxas Revo. Those parts were followed up with a slew of other products for the…
