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:

Only owned their sway bar kit for my Revo, can't say anything bad about it other than it had plastics that were too soft, but effort and quality control was good. It could of had more thought on engine clearance. That's my Tekno experience.

Cool. Keep us posted.
I guess the question I would have is this, are the expensive options the vehicle comes with required? if so, are they options any more? Now don't get me wrong, there are things that are truly great race performance addons that if you get them, thats great. However, if it something that is just more bling than anything else, is that of value.
If you are in the USA and are very price sensitive, your best bet may be to go with tower hobbies and there membership discounts. Its basically 15% off the vehicle, and if you wait for e-cash basically gets it significantly lower in the grand scheme of things.

I'd buy the car at my local hobby store to keep their doors open unless the price was a big difference. I'm not so sensitive on price, but am looking to get the most bang for buck. Carbon arm inserts are $50 on a D413. Alum hubs are $30, Aluminum steering rack is around $30 on other cars.. That's over $100 in parts that I'd have to fork out in my D413.
Nonetheless, the Tekno is still very Appealing.

I had a 2015 XB4, 2 years ago. After that short experiment, and a short one with the B5M, I have went most everything tekno for a reason. I haven't even once considered a 10th scale buggy of any sort since then until now.
I have full confidence that tekno has done their homework, and produced a quality rig right out of the box. In addition to that, they've shown in the past, that if an issue presents itself, they are quick to remedy it.
And I've said it before, I am not sponsored by, or affiliated with, Tekno. I have no obligation to like or recommend their stuff. I do because it works.

Anyone with experience with tekno vehicles, knows it will be a no brainer. Tekno engineers stuff so you don't need any of the other crap you mentioned. Tekno's don't need bling, they just do work, and finish races.

I had similar experience with an xb2 and it didn't do so much for me out the box, I dumped it for my D216. Still, it was a good car, mostly.
All the crap I mentioned has its own merits. It can be bling and do nothing, or it can be used as a tunning tool to compliment your driving style or what you are after. It's up to the person and trial and error will determine whether it's crap or not- pro drivers will tell you the same thing when they are trying to extract the very last adjustability out of a specific platform. Example, Ronnefalk guy just released a video on yt describing the merits of arm plates and are stiffness in his racing program.

Sure, tell me why and how you know over a buggy that was released a couple of days ago and I'll side with you and grab this over the other.

Yes. Seems like a legit and strong effort.

I'm all about less bling and more function. The option parts included are nice options that appear to be of use in the real world under most conditions. The new hypoid style gears in the diff are appealing in the 2017.

US means bad things for the future. I have seen so many guys with PRS, Team C, Caster, VBC who can't even give these cars away after they get tired of fighting
with the crappy US support. Some of these brands are actually quite popular in europe but with the revolving door of US distributors you never know what's gonna
happen from one day to the next.
Honestly if you live in the states this is a really simple decision. If your oversees somewhere Carrisma has a presence it might be a different situation.
By the way its super easy for your LHS to get signed up with Tekno and carry there
products.

Your LHS carries Carrisma? In the US? The complete lack of any real support in the
