First, yes you can reuse the bleeder screws and o-rings for the new caps. There is an alternative o-ring too that I just tried, they are: ASC21332. They don't fit perfect as there is a bit of overhang on some of mine but they are much easier to get on the screw.
As for the exotek bit, it is an unfortunate thing but Exotek has taken notice because this has been a common issue with their first batch of spools. If you contact them about it they should be willing to send you out an updated spool under warranty

I don't get it. Most people seem to love the way this car handles in the stock configuration. Tekno has been working on the design for a long time. Now MIP comes out with a new layout after less than 1 month of testing and it's supposed to be better. Seems like they're trying to make a quick buck.

It's great to see companies making optional parts for our product that allow people options. I will continue to support companies who push innovation and am happy to see their progress. I don't personally feel the need for the MIP chassis but I respect the amount of work that they are putting into their product. I will give their shock bushings and pucks a try, but I don't feel the need to majorly re-design an already excellent platform.

Totally agree, whats the point to change a platform that was meant to be different into something similar that already exists?
IMO its more like they are stuck in an different way of thinking that Tekno obviously broke free from. As well as trying to make a $ on people that have expendable incomes I suppose. Cant blame them for that at all!
Change doesn't come from doing things the same over and over, it comes from taking chances and doing things differently!
I think in reality Tekno has put some major pressure on the class and other manufacturers are simply reacting the way they know how to.
Right down to I saw a custom HB413 chassis that is imitating the eb410 layout!

all this gearing stuff: IS the 70t spur better for 13.5? or the stock?
I have both
Tekin 13.5 spec R
I know mesh isnt tight enough w a 21
I have 20-23t
small indoor clay track
timing? pinion and spur recommendations?
Tekin esc settings?
Nothing on tekins site for setups on eb410
thanks

13.5 spec-r
I’m running the tekin spec-r 13.5. Spur 81- pinion 24,stock timing, medium size clay track with a fan. Motor never went over 115 on a full pack. I even ran a 25 pin and motor temps around 120.
Hope that helps.

The only rear wheels that I have found with a different offset is the Xray. They are 1mm wider or 2mm for a pair. This might be OK if you are running on carpet or high grip but otherwise I wouldn't recommend it.
The biggest difference I have found in rear wheels is the inner diameter and if the area around the nut is dished or flush / inset. I did this measuring when some of the wheels I ran on my b64 rubbed on the hubs (eb410 would be the turbuckle).
Here is what I measured starting with smallest to largest diameter (some may be off .5 mm as wheels flex. I tried to capture without flex)
TLR flush 52.9mm
Schumacher dished 53.0
AE / JC MONO dished 53.5
Avid satellite (B6/22/RB6) flush 54.0
Xray flush 54.2

Another consideration is the thickness of the wheel where the axle goes through. On my Schumacher K2, the threaded portion is very short and there's not enough threads to get the nut on right using any wheels other than Schumacher. If you lose one of those special thin wheel nuts on the Tekno, a regular nut barely gets a good grip...

At last,
After some major changing to the setup I have a car that is now really good on the EOS carpet. Ride height 15mm in front, 14 in the back. Front camber -1 and rear -2. Front red springs, rear orange. Took away the CF front plate and installed the stock one again. Raceform front shock Tower for more forgiving flex. Reduced the rear weight to 20 gram.
B64 slipper, Exotek parts in the middle and the rearhubs from Exotek.
Now I´m in the right direction on the car

Has anyone using the stock 81T spur shimmed their center diff/motor mount up off the chassis a .5-1mm to provide extra clearance between the chassis and spur gear teeth? I'm about to try this to see if it eliminates the spur gear problems (already using AE pinion with tight mesh). Another option would be to find a slightly smaller spur gear that mated up with the diff?
