Oh yeah Tony's screws are much better than RCS in my opinion But the Protek's are worth a look if you have a chance to pop them in your next shopping cart . You notice the difference and you keep the stock black look.

I've been wondering about that myself....

I used the same Protek blue O-ring grease with no leaks myself.

All 3 of my diff cups were very tight. Had to use some elbow grease to get them back off.

I do wonder about where tekno is getting there screws. The long flat flat head ones used on the 1/8 sized line up to hold the rear hingepin braces were not very good. I know guys used to stockpile the length just to have on hand as they would always strip. Others just went to cap heads and dealt with it. Thankfully they went to a caphead setup from what I can see on the eb48.4

but a better screw would be nice.

Yeah have been using Tony's stuff for awhile. Prices on the M2.5 size are better with protek though, I may see about ordering some to compliment a few vehicles here.

Even your center diff? The fronts and rears on mine basically had to snap into the metal ring gears, but the center diff did not fit tightly at all.

All of my ring gears to diffs were a pretty snug fit. The spur gear was by no means loose but definitely not as tight.

After I rebuilt them though they fit on a lot easier.

Center wasn't nearly as bad as the front and rear.

Does anybody know if tekno will be sending Kit soon to Tower hobbies or Amain hobbies soon ?

Amain will likely get them first. Mid December is what a Tekno team driver told me last weekend.

I FINALLY finished this baby. Weighing in at 1669 grams soaking wet, hailing from Somewhere in California, we have the EB410! or... it's weight at least

Lightweight Hop ups:
CF front/rear towers
CF front/rear camber plates
CF battery strap
CF Fan mount/diff cap
Lunsford turnbuckles and 3x8mm ballstuds
RCSS titanium screw kit
Aluminum locknuts




Just the weight tonight though. I didn't feel like putting everything in the kitchen for a photoshoot

Did anyone say MIP pucks for EB410 ?
Some one must have, they will be used at Top Gun this weekend at SDRC

Can’t wait to get me some!!!

It was talked about a few pages back but it seems that you need to do a lot of dry fitting like on front and rear diffs put the gear over the cup and twist it around a few times I didn’t do it with the center and i ended up redoing the center as I have ocd bad and if it’s not perfect it’s not going to work now my front and rear diffs went together perfectly without any issues but I dry fitted them and used a xacto knife to scrape the flashings away. And on ring and pinion gears I use a white gun grease which is better stuff then protek white grease but I use the blue protek o ring grease and I like it the best for shocks and diffs it works better then AE green slime

Yes, Pucks....wish they were rollers...Pucks are a PITA maintenance wise.

Hmm noticed something here on the first eb410.

When mounting the low profile servo, didn't need the spacers as it didn't hit the chassis, HOWEVER, I think you will want them anyway as looking at some odd sparkling on my receiver and wires basically the washer that goes under the screw that holds the servo down next to the drive shaft was wearing into the drive shaft. This I can tell was only rubbing under load, probably due to the vibration I am thinking and maybe shift of the location of the shaft while running?

I ended up putting the spacers in and it clears fine now.

Again, this is NOT something you can see during the actual build as it was not touching the shaft anywhere when the vehicle was not under usage.

So just a warning.

What happens when you do a bench test with the electronics on and go full left or right on the servo? Does it twist the gearbox and servo mount enough to make contact?
