Totally get where you’re coming from; I do research my kits. I have several kits still in the box from years; for me its near impossible to keep up, with what wheels works with what, so I keep them all together with that specific vehicle. As for the EB410.2, I picked up the kit in November, before thanksgiving & only had the timely opportunity to build it last Monday; first Tekno kit, probably not my last; its awesome.

I know the wheel info is all over the internet, thats if you are looking for it, I wasn’t, because I accepted info from LHS, regardless of accurate info or not, I would be in another situation in store if the wheels were not available, in which this would likely have been the the case, because they have EB410.2’s in stock, no wheels, & even if I showed up on to the track Sunday with no wheels, I would have ended up either leaving with AE wheels & carpet tires or no wheels at all, & the shop didn’t even have the +1 offset hub needed, only other option is 90 min away. I don't think anyone especially Tekno RC can be @ fault for this, it can really be just another supply demand issue, seen worse with RC kits, but that was like 30 years ago.

Its like saying it doesn’t help the the RC hobby when drivers clean out a shop of tires & wheels because of a big race, instead of planning ahead & ordering online.

So it really wouldn’t matter if I opened the kit box 2 months or 2 years later the issue is still convoluted, & by Tekno not including specific required wheels for their kit only adds that perfect unnecessary layer of RC wheel scavenger hunt to the hobby. Doesnt matter the hot new ”hypetrain” kit, for me from now on, I’m only buying RC kits that include specific sensible parts, like wheels.
