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:

Does anyone know what the total thickness is of the hexes needed to run associated wheels? I know there +1 from the stock but I'm looking for total thickness. I have an extra set of tekno 12mm hexes that measure 4.66mm thick im trying to find out if these will work with associated wheels since I have a bunch or if I need to order +1 mm hexes still.

I tested a spool in 13.5 and various heavy weights in the center diff. The spool had the potential to lay down the single fastest lap, but wasn't as consistent lap to lap. It also didn't land jumps as well. You had to be very precise while driving it. Same thing with heavy diff oils but to a lesser extent.
I can see a slipper for carpet/turf tracks, but honestly the center diff is so much more forgiving I think it's benefits outweigh the slippers benefits, especially if the slipper isn't that much lighter. If the slipper were lighter and also slipped the front and rear independently then I can see using one, but otherwise I'm always going to run a diff.

I'll check tomorrow to see.

will bornhorst be releasing his carpet setup anytime soon?

Also curious if a spool will be an available option or if you can share where you got the spool, was it custom made or pulled off a random TC chassis somewhere?
I've grown used to running a spool on my K2 and would like to compare some lap times as well when I get my EB410 put together for our local turf track

I agree that adding weight to the ass end combined with the right set up this wheeler will handle low bite conditions great. I see Sworkz EK1 (1st gen wheeler) kill our 2 local low bite bumpy dirt tracks consistently and it has more weight forward than just about any wheeler out.

I'm kinda torn guys. I'm going to run 13.5 and I'm sure it'd help a bit, but do you guys think it's worth it to put together a full ceramic kit for this before I build it? Or maybe recommendations on which bearings to keep rubber sealed and which to run ceramic? I've only ever done ceramic in transmissions for 2wd's before.

Tekno EB410 | Essentials Bearing Kit
AVID also started carrying a new "Aura" bearing which is the next generation after the Revolution series which offers even better performance with a slick nylon race, but requires less abrasive cleaning chemicals and needs to be serviced more frequently so I opted to stay with Revolution for now, but might consider Aura next time:

I like to run AVID revolution ceramics with a steel race on only 1 side and leave the rubber seal removed on the opposite side, then flush the stock grease and run a dry teflon based lube typically used for bike chains. They have a kit for all the drive line bearings minus the steering linkage bearings here called "The Essentials":

. Just to clarify, you leave the rubber seal off even while racing? Or is it just to clean out the bearing, then you put it back in? Kinda nice too that they have the drop down menu to make your own kit. That was some quick work lol. I didn't think anyone but that JT company had made something for the 410 already

Yes, I leave the rubber shield permanently removed and face that side to inside of each hub/diff leaving the metal shield exposed to the elements. I typically remove/clean/lube the Revolution bearings once every 4-5 race days but I think the Aura series needs to be cleaned every 1-2 race days and I'm not sure if I'm THAT dedicated

AVID had these kits ready for the EB410 the same day Tekno published their bearing chart

lol yeah I think I'll pass on the Aura's as well. Just the price alone is like getting slapped in the face.
