Excited to run my EB410!
Just about ready to test this bad boy at the track tomorrow! Just have to glue the tires on is all! And I’m very proud of the paint job. Not bad for only my 2nd one. Anything I need to do before I put it through it’s paces, such as breaking it in or anything?
Setup specs:
Tekin Redline Gen3 6.5T
SMC 170 amp esc
Amazon servo (we’ll see how it does for $25)
Venom 4500 mah 100c shorty
Proline Positron MC all 4

Paint looks awesome, maybe a few more stickers? Have fun.

After you get the tires glued, you need to set the ride height, check camber and toe settings. Did you program the esc and set the end points for the steering? If so you need to drive it around to make sure the steering trim is set so the car drives straight.
A 6.5 is a lot of motor, so don't be surprised if you repeatedly crash your brand new car really hard. The Tekno is durable, but it does have some weak points (hinge pins and turnbuckles are soft, and the rear outer hinge pins are not captured).

Looks good! I also just finished my EB410 build last night. Running a Tekin 5.5 with the SMC 170 ESC as well.

Love the business grey paint scheme. That's all I want to say.

Thanks for the feedback guys! Little update....
You guys are right, this is a whole lot of motor! I had to turn my throttle endpoints down to 85% to make it a little more controllable for my newbness in the racing realm. I have been crashing it but nothing too crazy. Only things I have needed to replace so far is the plastic servo horn did strip so I bought an aluminum Protek RC one. I also needed to replace the front upper shock holding bolt that goes into the tower, along with a wing. That’s it so far with quite a few runs on it by now.
Loving this car so far! My lap times are at least 1 sec faster than my 2wd 17.5 stock car which is to be expected. Bigger motor and more traction with 4wd.

But it’s an amazing esc so far. I read reports that the drag brakes were a little weak on it. I wonder if they did a firmware update for that or something because mine are good. I even turned drag brake down one notch from factory setting!

Teeyo.. keep an eye on the shock caps, we've been running the eb410 for a bit now, my brother and a buddy of ours had issues with the caps popping off and elected to go with aluminum caps. Interesting how you got the rear wing to fit with the shocks underneath it like that, you don't have any issues with the rear shocks hitting the wing? Where's your track located?

Your comment about the wing has me realize I was supposed to cut out the openings for the rear shocks lol. But I haven’t noticed an issue with it like that. But I don’t know lol. I race at Murf’s Intermountain RC Raceway in Salt Lake City (indoor clay track). How about you?
