I currently run an XB4 2015 with center gear diff. I dont run the 2017 version as it would cost a fair amount to convert all the plastics and options for low grip.

My concern is I am waiting for the EB410 but it will not suit the low grip, dusty track I run on. Maybe Tekno will be wise and release "dirt" and "carpet" versions. Anxiously waiting!
Is there such a thing as dirt/carpet distinction for 4WD's? My understanding is that with 2WD mid motor layouts, there are various laydown options with motor mounting locations where less grip = farther back on the chassis and more grip = farther forward the motor is mounted.

I think the bigger question is if the EB410 will be shaft or belt drive?
Will it support shorty, saddle, brick... or all of the above?

These are probably key indicators for what traction conditions the car is more suited to handle, droop stops would be icing on the cake
