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.

Just took a peak at mine and I can see the inside washer do the same so if I had the lower mount in I think I would have experienced the same thing as you.
You could just file the washer down like this;

I am using the standard servo mount and didn't notice that on the inside. But I did notice the washers stuck out on the outside, rubbing the inside of the body. I filed them flat and its all good now.

I snipped mine off, then cleaned up with a dremel.

You can also just use a smaller OD washer, like ballstud spacers. Many ways to skin this cat thankfully.

I just used spare Protek ball stud spacers I had from my 2wd buggy.

I tried the puck system before, and what a PITA that was. I was really hoping for rollers here...

Rollers are the way to go.... been running them on my Shuey K2 for about a year now and no signs of any wear on the out drives... I blow off the shafts/rollers at the end of every race day and apply a couple drops of Purple Extreme, I also use this same lubricant on all my CVD's and out drives on my other cars too... I've got a SCT410.1 that is about 4 years old and still running the original out drives that came in the kit! I simply replace the pins every 6 months or when I see the hint of any flat spots starting to form on the pins.
So which MIP out drives/shafts are people using for the EB410?

They just announced a kit for the eb410 last night. (Matt told me it was coming a couple weeks ago at a race)
Matt is also switching from the b64 he has been running, and running the eb410. The mayhem race a couple weeks ago was his last run with the AE.

Good to know though it wasn't just me seeing that lol.
I do have some other washers to use so will see how it goes just using the risers and then the stockers. Only thing that sucks is it grooved pretty hard on the other shaft so may have to look into buying another one. Heck, maybe an excuse to get some aftermarket wunder shaft

I have way too many friends posting crap (mostly politics, ugh) on FB that it's nearly impossible to see but a small fraction of posts on my news feed.... I guess I rely on this thread here for all my EB410 news
thanks for the tip!

Ah okay... I had to visit their FB page to see the video they posted:

Sorry if this is kind of random, but I've been looking at 1/10 4WD Buggies, and have narrowed my choices down to the Hot Bodies D413 and the Tekno EB410, based on their durability, three metal gear diffs, and shaft driveline. I must admit that the Tekno is drawing my attention, with its forward weight positioning and good reviews, easy maintenance, and little to no problems stated so far. However, the D413 runs for less than half price on Ebay from pontaracing, but it isn't as easy to access the internals, which, for an amateur like me, will probably be a pretty big thing. After searching the internet, the closest thing that I have found to a comparison was a comment made on a Youtube video by either ShortCourseWorld or The RCNetwork stating that the EB410 drove better. This will be my first kit. So, I was wondering what you who are lucky enough to own the EB410 right now think of it, and how it compares to the D413, as well as any problems that you've encountered with either (I've already heard of some of the better-known issues with the D413, but have heard very little about the Tekno). I'd rather buy the kit that I will be happier with than regret a purchase that saved me some cash up front...
