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 plan on running Tekin electronics with a 13.5 in my EB410. Should i spend the extra money and get the new Tekin RS Pro or save my money and get the RS Gen 2 ESC? The RS Gen 2 is cheaper and lighter. I don't mind spending more money though for performance benefit. I also plan on getting the new Tekin spec R 13.5 motor. Any thoughts?

Time to learn some setup skills. Tekno cant cover every setup situation, as what we call high bite in the northeast, the west coast guys would consider loose. It's the same thing with north to south. Add to that, that EVERY driver is different, and wants something different. People keep chasing Joe and ryans setup, and that the wrong approach. I can pretty much bet that Joe and ryan has more steering that we can handle.
Base setups should get you close. Maybe a change of springs, change diffs. (I would assume you would want lighter oil/springs and lighter diffs to make the kit setup close to what you need.)
The box setup is geared to the intermidiate driver on high bite. I wouldn't change much besides what I said above. Since kit setup is 15-15-7...I'd try 7-7-5....753....553....That would be where I would put your range to play with for loose and bumpy.
You know what you needed to do to Joe's setup to make the 8th's work for you, it's more than likely going to be the same direction with this.
Everyone want's to be spoon fed setup sheets on a car no one has yet. It's not going to work that way. The onus is now on us because we are trying a new car. We now have to go back to old school, and figure stuff out again. Trial and error boys, let's go get it.
No chasing setup sheets this time around. game on, let's see who can make this car dance.

I saw plenty of guys, myself included, drop the SCT410 due to the fact that our common knowledge on how to fight the nose down issue versus traction issue was not working for the car. The latest setups in my case where I run from large 1/8 to tight 1/10 loose rough conditions fixed the issue and were completely opposite of where the common techniques were going, no battery mod, weight on the rear, etc.
Did I modify some of settings from one of the setup sheets? Sure. But I was already close with something to go off of. And that is what I believe people are looking for, especially with the way the vehicle is designed.

With the Spec R motor, I've found you need to gear down about 4 teeth on the pinion versus what we recommend in the manual for the best performance. The motor is a screamer.

I'd go with the RS Pro. The lower resistance coupled with the ability to handle mod, should you choose to run that down the line, gives it the edge.

Considering the car is actually pretty radical in its design over what is commonly being pushed out there, having those who actually designed the car providing recommendations on where to go with setups can save a lot of frustration and time.

Tires
Any one know what a good tires would be to start with on this buggy for a medium bite track. Already running a Tekno ebuggy with blockades and intercepts

I don't remember a car having this much anticipation since the JConcepts BJ4... another wheeler, coincidentally. It arguably breathed new life into the class when it was almost without a pulse. AE had publicly turned its back on 4WD, and the most mainstream kit available at the time - the XXX G+ - was made of glass. Seriously, you could downside a jump perfectly with that thing and still break both front spindle carriers. I had a serious love/hate relationship with that car. Wonderful to drive, but frustrating as hell to own.
Anyway, it was the BJ4's design that became the new standard, and has been iterated/refined to death for the past decade+.
