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:

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.

I can say we're not really thinking about 17.5, but we're aware that 13.5 is a growing class and will be offering a spur that provides the correct ratio for that. I couldn't see myself ever running 17.5 on a wheeler, sounds painfully slow.

IMHO, the teaser was strategic timing due to another brands release (not naming names, but those chassis are taco'ing now), due to the project being under development for a while. And I know several guys who canceled pre-orders due to it being teased.. Interest hasn't wanned at all. (I don't think) It's just right now is outdoor season and not many run 10th outdoors, besides 4wd sct. The 10th wheeler will be anounced before it's time to go indoors, there is no doubt about that.
They did say mid 2017....So July\August? And with that timing, I'm sure the supply issues of the eb48.4 wont be had with the eb410.
Tekno don't make no Junk, so I think we'll all be happy with the outcome.

It will be interesting to see what kind of spurs are used here. One thing I liked about the durango setup was that I didn't need a special 4wd spur, there 2wd ones worked fine which were also compatible from other manufacturers.
If it does require a tekno specific spur however I do hope its not going to be $$$ for one spur.

Yeah, I think the "don't make junk" comment is why a bunch of us are watching this vehicle carefully. I just hope they include the good stuff that they are using versus dumbing the kit down. One touch on the YZ2-DTMs I got here I liked was that it was common for people to go and buy the machined pistons on other yz2 models, the DTM included them.
They didn't have to for sure, and it wasn't this big $$$ cost, but its nice when a company finds that the stuff that their drivers actually use and pretty much everyone recommends they put it in the kit. Getting a race level kit and then going to replace stuff to things that are "recommended" but are not included is very annoying and artificially inflates overall purchase price.
Now that its May, I am curious when we can start seeing some spy shots, maybe even discussions on features.

AE brand has a serious following, the 64's have caused 4wd to explode, especially the 13.5 class. that being said, it has also caused many racers to buy other brands of 4wd's. i think tekno's timing and patience is right on

would have liked but your post doesn't offer that option

I saw the EB410 run a bunch of laps last night. It is AMAZING! Granted the guys driving them were really good. It was the owner/designer of Tekno and 2 of his engineers driving and compared to the 64s on the track they looked better. Hooked up and meaty! They drive a lot like the 8ths but obviously much more nimble. Acceleration out of corners was excellent . the suspension they used looked really supple especially landing, but still tuned on a dime. A masher of a 4wd like Tekno always creates. Definitely not a car for a 17.5. It does not look particularly light for a 17.5. They were driving it that buggy super hard and we're purposely testing its durability. Goal achieved! It will be well worth the wait.
