Shock Filling Instructions
For both front and rear shocks
19
Step 1. Extend the shock shaft all the way down. Fill the shock with oil
until the body is approximately 90% full.
Step 2. Slowly pump the shock shaft up and down about 3-5 times to release
air bubbles from underneath the piston.
Step 3. Let the shock rest vertically with the shock shaft fully extended for ve
minutes or until all of the air bubbles have released.
Step 4. Push the shaft in to the amount of rebound desired. For example, to achieve little or no
rebound, push the shaft in all the way (in this case, about ¼” of shaft showing). For 50%
rebound, push the shaft in half way. Make sure that you match the rebound amount
between the left and right shocks. We've found that running the least amount of (0%)
rebound in both the front and rear shocks gives the most consistent overall performance.
Step 5. Next you will top o the shock with oil. The goal is not to ll the body completely,
but only to ll it enough so that when the bladder is placed on top there will be no
air underneath. If you do overll the shock, it won’t hurt performance, it will just spill
out and make a little bit of a mess.
Step 6. In this step you will be placing the bladder on top the shock body. While holding the
shock shaft in the desired position from step 4, push the bladder down onto the
shock body using your ngertip to fully seat the lip of the bladder onto the rim of the
shock body. If done correctly a small amount of oil should bleed out. If no oil is released
you may have some air trapped underneath the bladder and you will need to remove
the bladder and repeat step 5. Once the bladder is seated onto the shock body, pull
the shock shaft down about 20mm. This will “suck” the bladder down and hold it
in place. Carefully wipe away the excess oil that was bled, being careful not to
disrupt the seal of the bladder on the shock body.
Step 7. While continuing to hold the shock vertically, screw the shock cap down onto the body
and tighten fully. The cap will bottom out easily, but the bladder will be sealed tight.
You can use an adjustable wrench to hold the bottom of the shock while tightening
the shock cap down to be sure they are tight.
The following steps and information will provide you with the
proper way to ll and bleed your Tekno RC EB48 shocks.
After thorough testing, we've found it's easiest to complete steps 1 through 3 on each
shock before moving onto step 4. By the time you've nished step 3
on the last shock the rst one should be ready for step 4.
You can build the shocks in any manner you prefer, but we’ve found this way provides the
best handling and more consistent shocks. They will also last longer between rebuilds.
Use part #’s TKR6008 (pistons and guides) and TKR6009/TKR6009B
(o-ring pack) to rebuild your shocks regularly.

A mechanical brake setup will allow you to adjust the front/rear brake
bias as well as reduce the running temperature of your motor and ESC.
Mechanical brakes can provide an advantage on tracks where traction is
scarce, but it may suit your driving style in any case. These instructions
assume that the center dierential/motor mount is completed but not yet
installed on your EB48 (Step L). If your vehicle is complete, you will need to
remove the center dierential/motor mount to complete the brake
installation. Refer to Step L in the EB48 instruction manual if you need help.

You need a separate servo for the brakes.
A servo with at least 160oz/in torque @ .15sec
or faster is recommended.
Radio Setup:
Adjusting the Brakes and Brake Bias:
·
The total braking force is set by
your transmitter via servo travel
(EPA for 3rd/AUX/Brake channel)
·
When your servo is in the
neutral position, there should be
no contact with the brakes. Use
the ESC settings to adjust drag brake.
·
Adjust the brake linkage stops (TKR5222)
and servo EPA to set the brakes to your liking.
Some prefer the brakes to come on very quick,
while others prefer them to be a little more progressive.
·
The brakes bias is adjusted by lengthening or shortening the brake
adjustment turnbuckle (TKR5057). A longer link will provide more
rear braking bias, a shorter link will provide more front braking bias.
·
We recommend leaving the servo horn loose while adjusting the
brake bias. This way you can test the brake bias, take the servo horn
o to adjust, test, repeat if necessary. When you have the brake bias
where you want it, tighten down the servo horn.
·
To set up the brake servo action, you will need
a radio transmitter that has the ability to perform
3rd/AUX mixing on the throttle channel.
·
Adjust the mixing function so the brake servo
only moves when activating the brakes (moving
the trigger forward on your transmitter). If the
servo is also moving when on throttle, you will
damage the brake system or your servo and the
car will not function properly.
·
Set the ESC brakes to 0 (zero). Although,
you can still use the ESC for partial brakes or
drag brake if desired.
·
Refer to your transmitter manual for mixing
functions specic to your brand.
