Welcome to the EB410 Wiki page. Basic Stats/Features:
Videos Servo Horns Tekno included a plastic servo horn but also offers an aluminum one. This is highly recommended. Here's a list of servo horns that have been found to work:
Gearing: Works out of the box for mod or 13.5.
Wheels
Setup Sheets and other documentation Setup sheets for all Tekno RC vehicles can be found here. Please be sure to try our recommended setup. It works very well on most tracks.
Piston Drills: Some of our setups recommend using pistons that are enlarged. For instance 4x1.9 or 3x2.0. To drill the pistons we recommend the following:
Aftermarket Upgrades:
Warranty Policy: Tekno RC is the only company in the industry that will give 50% off of parts if returned to them using the General Warranty return policy found on their website. The parts can be lightly used or completely abused, as long as the part is still being produced it's covered! Build Tips:

So another guy at the with an EB410 came up to me and showed me that he had rubbing on the rear axles where the spring cups are from the rear shocks. It appears that with stock setup there is some very tight to no clearance causing the spring cups to ever so slightly rub the rear axles. Now this is not a big deal, just thought I would mention it. I never saw it on mine as I have my rear arms all the way forward...I also put a washer behind the shock eyelet to get about 1mm clearance just to be sure.
I am in the process of converting my EB410 to a carpet setup. My plan is to start with the stock gear diff with 15K (will be running 13.5). Depending on how that feels, either go higher on diff oil or go to the AE slipper. There was a user on Facebook that tried the exotek eliminator (for B64) and found he liked the gear diff with 30K better.

Next week I plan to attend a race clinic being hosted by Ryan Lutz and Joe Bornhorst, I'm hoping to let them drive my EB410 and see if they can help provide some more insight beyond what Edwin has shared to suit my driving style on the turf.

Initially I had it in but was a pain when changing springs, so I removed it for convenience, but also the spring stop slipping off the cup after that so I assumed the screw was related to this. Its quite possible it will slip off again and may have nothing to do with it at all. The flexing may help...well see.

I thought that the team c tm4 team edition had 13mm or 14mm shocks, not sure.
Ill try to find a solution if it happens again. Spring going over the cup happened once.
On a good note. I drove the car hard on the a main and didn't break anything or stripped a spur. solid day of testing and racing! I might take it this weekend again but make changes (which I did) and get her set up to my liking.

I can guarantee you this, it's not a matter of if but a matter of when your cup will pop out on the track and fingers crossed you quickly find it or have a spare when that time comes

Over the years, I can only begin to tell you how many spring cups I've lost, it's one thing for the spring to pop off the cup (no big deal) but to lose the cup itself is pretty frustrating, even more so if you don't have a spare or the track side shop is out of stock, been there done that! I'm eternally grateful for Tekno using the captured design, I've shared this tip with other local racers who have started running the captured Tekno cups on their other 1/8 brands.

I can vouch for the coupon working for a pre order. I pre ordered as soon as they went live and used a coupon that expired by the time they actually charged and shipped and I still received the coupon discount. It just won't reflect the discount in your order until it ships That being said, good luck with Tower
That being said, good luck with TowerI do find it funny that orders seemed to be being filled right up to the 31st it seems ... and then e-cash started on Nov 1st.

FWIW, I don't remember the last time I popped a cup on any of my 1/10 cars, the jumps on the 1/10 track are considerably smaller than the 1/8 track.

While not everything is 100% applicable to the small car, the diffs build essentially the same as the large vehicles, so here's my diff build video tutorial from the ET48. The drop through and sight methods both work well, though I always point the pins at the screws so it is always easy to not guess on things. Slightly longer of a video, but it explains pretty much everything (including a couple things you don't need to worry about here). Never had a leaking diff or diff construction issue since I stopped running the original Losi SCTE. LOL

I know some of this has been discussed on the Facebook site (not by me), I thought I would share some observations on compatibility (fit only) with AE B64 and XB4 parts.
Center differential:
XB4 NOT compatible. Internal (plastic) gears NOT compatible.
B64D compatible when used with carbon center brace 6635C. Shims are needed to reduce slop. Internal gears not compatible. Stock weight with 81t spur is 43g vs stock EB410 is 34g. I don't have plastic B64 gears to check the weight.
Center slipper:
XB4 NOT compatible. Bearing spacing too wide and outdrives too long.
B64 slipper (92089) is compatible with carbon center brace 6635C and AE 110mm front dogbone (92065). The 78t spur (9652) works with this setup. Shims (at least 8) are used to reduce slop between bearings. Rubber spacers in outdrives recomended. Net weight of B64 slipper, 78t spur and 110 dogbone is 42g (33g slipper + 9g dogbone) vs 40g (34g diff + 6g dogbone) for EB410 front dogbone and gear diff. If going this route you may want to buy Shelle SHL1307. This comes with the AE 110 dogbone and 78t spur. I have not tested this but don't see why it wouldn't work.
