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

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!

Speaking of spur gear, IMHO, the CF top plate is a must, whether you plan to use a fan or not.
Also, get the AE factory team pinions in the range you think your motor will need.

not finding anything on their website yet when searching for "eb410"

***EDIT***
So apparently they discontinued their Rollers???

That's a big turnoff from me now, no way am I going to fall into the replacing those plastic pucks every couple of race days again scheme, so not worth the hassle!

I wish I could link back to an old (hilarious) URC thread of this kid "SlashShadow" who had this ad with his Slash for sale... he clearly spray painted the chassis, you could see over spray on the shock springs which were doubled up, exposed solder connections... the car was a complete disaster and he swore up and down that he dyed the chassis, the poster comments went on and on with some of the funniest "it dye" meme's too, ha!

But perhaps I'll consider doing a proper dye job if I ever end up getting the puck system. I don't think I'd put them in as they sit. Too much bling for me

1. The EB410 comes with aluminium center driveshafts (vs B64 that are steel).
2. The center diff weighs about the same as the B64 center diff does WITH plastic gears (34g vs 33g).
3. As far as I know rollers only work reliably with steel outdrives. All of their systems with aluminium outdrives use the plastic pucks. I asked Matt about this a long time ago and he said they couldn't endorse / sell aluminium outdrive with metal roller. Just not durable.
So keep this in mind when choosing to spend your money on this system. I love MIP stuff but am perfectly happy with the weight and durability of the stock tekno parts.
