Absolutely. But from what that orange one looks like, in the newest pic, I am a fan. Looks sweet. But if a more traditional 2wd-style stadium body can fit, then by all means to each their own.

Chassis is the same length/width as the EB410. The wheelbase rules are the same between buggy and ST.
The only rule we're not following is the rear wing, which if you were to swap on a traditional ST body, you would be all legal. We'd like to see the rules amended to allow a separate wing since the trucks that are out there are doing it that way.
I'd personally also like SC wheels/tires to be allowed.
We considered both body styles before settling on the "truggy" look. I mocked up the TLR and the AE stadium truck bodies and we all felt the were too wide and just too large overall. We also like the performance aspect of running a buggy style wing. It wouldn't take much effort to mount a traditional stadium truck body if someone really wanted to.

Same length and width as a eb410? Would be cool if it was a more balanced chassis, and we could swap it with a eb410? So in a way, all Tekno way of doing the MIP chassis with no pucks, for the eb410.
Would also be cool if it has the option for the rear shocks, in front of the rear shock tower. And this option was compatible with the eb410.
How about a kit to make it a lighter shortcourse, for indoor tracks where the sct410.3 is to heavy? Longer chassis, drive shafts in the middle and body mounts?
Just ideas.

Hope this thing rotates better than the EB, also in the video it looked like the rear end was a little loose in some of the turns where as the some of the SCT looked like they were almost traction rolling...maybe because of ST wheels slide more? I will more than likely be getting one...4wd buggy with ST wheels ..I'm in.

As far as the shocks in front of the arms, most of the handling characteristics people like about that mod have nothing to do with the shock location. Most of what they're feeling is coming from the wheelbase change, the bone sweep, and the higher roll center (from both camber link length and the height). There is also the angle or lean of the shocks front to back that changes, but you can do that by keeping them on the rear. Having said all that, having the option to move the shocks could be something we do in the future on a version update. That's a ways off though.
SC - the possibility is there of course, but most people like our current SC because it's very durable. A version based off the 410 platform will never be as durable as one based off the 8th scale platform. I don't know if the demand is there for that style of 4x4 SC.

Dropped by to watch the Q2 and Mains. Awesome battle between Mason and Travis at the front last Wednesday; El Presidente helped sweep the podium.
Thanks for giving us as much info as you have been. Eagerly awaiting the official announcement and some off-body shots.

That’s interesting. Had expected longer chassis, arms and shafts. Seems like a shorter list to convert an EB410 over to an ET. Assuming body, mounts, towers, longer shocks and stub axles at a minimum, along with ST wheels and tires.

Will the driveshafts be a similar length to the MT410? Will the driveshafts fit the EB410 or the MT410 diff output cups?
Though the MT410 is a heavier chassis with a longer wheelbase and beefier tires, could the MT410 be modified (meaning correct wheels, 540 motor, 2S battery) for use as a stadium truck?

At this pointI kind of wish another company just dropped a 4WD stadium truck without all the months long teasing. Xray, AE or Losi, I don't care, hey, we already know Arrma is going to launch a 1/10 Kraton soon so who knows, maybe there will be a 1/10 Talion too for people like me who wanted this to bash.
