" We did not see the point of including a center differential and then basically locking it up with 200K or thicker fluid."
it has a slipper than ?

Hi all,
It appears as though the car has thick plastic shock towers?
How would the spur gear be removed.

i think it just means that the center diff will use fluid closer to what is used in 1/8 buggies.

BUT... for 13.5T stock racing, folks will want less volume and smaller/lighter plastic parts to have less rotating mass... at the very least, a center spool would be nice with a bolt pattern for Kimbrough spurs to allow plenty of stock gearing options... I have to wonder how many different size spur gears are included in the kit?
Does the motor mount allow enough adjustment for both mod and stock gearing with a single spur size?
Pretty sure my ER14 had 3 different size spur rings that bolted over the center diff to account for mod/stock gearing.
edit... yup just found it here:

The pic with the front diff shows servo is standing up on the front left and you can also see the motor is on the right side. More foward than the b64 of opposite. Im thinking the battery will also be right behind the servo with option to shift foward and back. Esc may fit right behind the motor

It appears Joes "carpet setup" includes a front sway bar with the shocks maxed out on lean angle / \. Also the springs appear to be the LF type as they look like they are made from the same type of material as the LF springs used on the buggys & SCT

I know there's a lot of speculation on this car and aftermarket, and rightly so. I just want to add that historically Tekno vehicles have not needed much, if anything other than what's in the box. My EB48.4 has the servo horn. That's it.
I have the SCT410.3 and there's a handful of parts that I added, but they are all Tekno parts. (alum A,B,C,D blocks, .4 ackerman, emulsion caps, etc.). None of those are needed. I could have run the plastic blocks and shock caps and been fine. I actually may have been better off because of the weight savings.
So before anyone rushes to judgement on the car, let's wait until we all get into our hands. We all know that if there's money to be made on accessories, JConcepts, Avid, Schelle, Exotec, all will jump on the bandwagon and bang stuff out. We all like bling. We all like to support our favorite brands.
P.S. you better believe that I'll have one of my 2 EB410's totally pimped with everything Jason has to send me from JConcepts

Believe it's already been stated that when the car drops, the setup and kit will be ready for 4wd mod. At time of release, there will be a spur available for proper gearing for 13.5. They should also have a carpet setup available.
That being said, they have been testing both mod & 13.5 wheeler, and have had good success with both classes.
In talking to Ryan Lutz when I started, he prefers NOT to run any more aluminum on his buggies than the horn, and what comes in the stock kit. It keeps the car as light as possible. I'm sure that theory will still be in play with the eb410. And I will follow suit.
I plan to run the buggy in the 13.5 class myself. Now the issue will be choosing a motor. I'm not a bandwagoner, and I actually prefer to be different. The guys in my area all run TSR motors. I like to buck the trend, so lets talk 13.5 motors. What else is out there?
I did the same research with 17.5 buggy, and I went with shur speed motors as it seemed to be pretty stout out west. But those TSR motors pulled me everyplace. I'd rather buy once, and cry once. Let the list begin.

Run motiv motors now here. They are really torque monsters in 17.5 2wd buggy and 13.5 4wd buggy. I also run maclan motors but they are a bit more RPMish at least the standard versions. If I was to do a team edition, I would get the ultra torque rotor as well. Hopefully if they look into doing another motor revision they make one out of the box with it as its a nice setup.
If they are going to offer a specific sized spur gear for say 13.5, I am hopeful we can see that sooner than later to get it with the orders.
