Although 2WD, Frank Root talks about the changes made to the 22 4.0 when it comes to correcting the roll center when running low ride heights, needed when racing on carpet.
For what its worth (about the 3 minute mark):

Regardless, I'd be shocked if Tekno didn't take into account for the need to allow their team of drivers to run on all track types.

Is there such a thing as dirt/carpet distinction for 4WD's? My understanding is that with 2WD mid motor layouts, there are various laydown options with motor mounting locations where less grip = farther back on the chassis and more grip = farther forward the motor is mounted.
I think the bigger question is if the EB410 will be shaft or belt drive?
Will it support shorty, saddle, brick... or all of the above?
These are probably key indicators for what traction conditions the car is more suited to handle, droop stops would be icing on the cake

having a vehicle that can adjust to multiple conditions doesn't mean they can't release a dirt and carpet version. while yes, i can buy a dirt version B64d and buy the parts to better suit it to carpet, the cost of the parts would be more than starting with the carpet version B64. nothing "gimicky" about it. they've produced a versatile platform and tailored the kits to one extreme or the other. tekno would be wise to follow that model (with the exception of a delayed release of one or the other like AE did. that's a bit gimicky imo because people who just want the new release end up buying the first one and then paying again to convert it to the car they want).

Hoping for shaft drive! Depending on the layout, I'd love to do a rally car conversion!

We will just have to wait and see what they do in that regards.

I'm curious how the tall shocks will work on carpet tracks, strictly from a CG standpoint. AE went through the trouble of lowering the rear shocks by 3mm for the B6/B64. Maybe there will be a carpet vs dirt setup option with shorter/lower shocks?
Also, going to toss in my speculation on the chassis layout:
Copy of their current platforms with the motor on the right, center diff/slipper in the rear, and shorty pack on the left. This would allow them to have that sharp taper at the rear of the car seen in the videos. Servo on the left with the battery with space for the ESC and RX in front of the motor on the right, keeping with the info given that not much wiring is needed. That puts the ESC and motor tabs within an inch and the battery just a short jump over the center driveshaft. I think the driveline will be raised just enough to let the servo be mounted partially under the front driveshaft, but it will be 90 degrees to the more common layout with the mounting screws facing out the left side for easy access. A shorty servo won't be long enough to go under the driveshaft, but a regular size servo would.

Just like a mini EB48.x

how does this buggy go with stock 17.5 class

be cool if they did consider that as some countries I heard run 17.5 for their 4wd buggy class. Which, I think is a good thing whether its 13.5, 17.5 etc. as it offers someone the ability to get into the class with controllable power versus full on mod.
