Tekno RC EB410 Thread

A few build notes:
1. When inserting the grub screws in the front or rear hubs, make sure you don't mix them up with the ones that go in the wheel hexes. The longer ones go in the hubs. I accidently did this on the rear and couldn't figure out why the wheel would not go on. Duh...
2. Be very careful when putting on the shock caps. The threads are very fine and the plastic in the caps is very soft. I had issues with 3 of 4. Took quite a bit of time to get them not cross threaded. I have never had this issue with any kit even the SCT410 caps.
3. The left and right screws for the shocks don't fit in my JC thumb wrench. I had to use a plastic Associated tool get them tight. Really wish these were normal screws or at least had at 2 or 2.5mm hex in the end.
Overall the build went well and man thing is beefy. Can't wait to try it on some dirt this weekend.
And for anyone who is curious NEITHER xb4 or b64 center slipper will work on this kit. THEY DO NOT FIT. The xb4 is close and I think with some tweaking could fit. It's about 2mm too long in Stock form.

Lets try this again. Now completely race ready with the CF towers and center fan mount with fan. shock collars are all the way at the top to try and get everything even although I know have orange fronts instead of the kit yellow. Also have the front swayer. For reference this is with a Protek 4900, SMC 170 ESC, Protek 100ss servo (not a shorty but about the same weight, MRC transponder and Sanwa 481 receiver. No Ti or aluminum yet.

I was! Then I saw there were a grand total of 14 entries and I wasn't. But then I saw who he was able to beat and I was surprised again.
I understand the car isn't static. However, grams aren't transferred. They are static. The moment of inertia is static. No amount of accelerating or braking can get around that and not being able to adjust those values without bolting weight on the car is my only concern.
Using DG Designs and jmcelroy42 work (thank you both) a CG height assumption of 40mm (a 20mm ride height and half of the stuff on the chassis plus some change) and a 290mm wheelbase (2mm shy of the maximum allowed by ROAR rules, because I can't find that info pertaining to the EB410) every 1g (attainable even for 13.5T) of acceleration(positive or negative) there's 228gr that are transferred front to back so the weight bias during a 1g of acceleration would look like this:
F R
645 1008
39% 61%
Skipped squat induced CG changes and if the tires can take that 1g of acceleration (a bit lower transfer but remember we run anti squat so no big deal, the tires are the big deal but I think on upwards of low traction this info is solid provided the very scientific weighting method by DG Designs). This only happens for the numbers shared by DG!
@AntH3000 and @Krio, you seem knowledgeable, I like that. Always remember the car isn't static during racing
@Tekno, if you want me to keep spreading your secrets send free stuff to me. Just kidding!

Car should arrive today based on latest tracking , curious if it is possible to get the standard Tekno servo horn to fit with a LP servo with possibly some modification? I'm hoping longer screw and maybe some shims along with removing some material from end of serv horn. Anyone else have this same dilema until the NEW Tekno horn is available....

From the looks of the plastic horn you will need one like this to use the LP servo and mount.

Just mount the servo in the standard mount until you can get the LP specific horn.

maybe some custom weights too that give it a nice "factory" kind of look as well as adding weight too ...
Thats great news on tower. If they "ship" monday, I wonder if that means for pre-orders if they drop to processing prior to the closing of the tower e-cash period for this month? If not, thats kind of shady.
