I am almost finished building my 410.2 & I noticed that the rear still has so much flex after installing both braces, & it flexes on the aluminum chassis. My concern is taking a jump & having the buggy land wrong & taking a hit that bends the chassis in the rear section, bending the rear driveshaft or worse. Is there a solution or brace option for this compromise?

For me, that would have made it worse? The manual calls for the stud on the front side, but without the plate (which you can't use with the carbon tower) it already moved the mount point too far forward. So flipping the stud to the backside of the tower gave me almost a perfectly straight angle. I'm not sure what Tekno officially suggests when using the carbon tower, but that was what worked for me.

I was not sure to do about the braces either. I currently just have the single stock suggested brace on. I was mostly concerned with flexing in the center and potentially stripping the spur, which apparently was a thing on the .1? So I was afraid if you use both rear braces that maybe it exaggerates the flex point in the center of the chassis? Maybe someone can chime in here to clarify.

From what I recall of the eb410.1, using the exotek center diff "stands" for a lack of a better word helped with the stripping of the spur due to flex in that area. Assuming it still fits, you may find benefit to purchasing that item assuming the same benefits still apply on the eb410.2 .

personally, if this would work for the eb410.2 buggy and flex is your ultimate concern, I'd be curious how well this or a variant of it would work out being its 4mm thick:

I often run without either brace and not had any problems so far. I also run the alloy diff mount from Exotek and the 32DP gears from the ET.

This is mostly on Astro in the UK, which is wet and cold at the minute!

That chassis is for Tekno's 1/8 scale platform. They have it listed as 410 but I am assuming that they are referencing the SCT410.

So looks like everything on mine is adjusted, except front wheels rub the steering links??? either got the wrong set of wheels for the front off bad info, or I need +2-3mm hubs. AE offset right? What offset hub will fix this?

This is the reason why kits need to include wheels again. RC New year’s resolution; no longer buying a kit that doesn’t include wheels. I bought this kit last year so it doesn’t count for 2020.

You need TLR 22-4 wheels, not AE. Or you need to get the wider hexes.

I guess its fine. Maybe a +3mm hex. It was an awesome build, kit just needs correct offset wheels included.

Where did you find this info on the wheels? How is one supposed to know what wheels to get when I go to the LHS & they sell you the wrong front wheels? This is what I was working on from the TeknoRC site.

At least TeknoRC knows the kit needs wheels.

LOL, that was one of my complaints in my EB410 review video.

I just got back from running my EB410.2 for the first time. And WOW!!!!!! What an amazing buggy!!!!! I was running Assosiated front wheels with the Tekno +1 hexes in the front with no rubbing issues at all. Ran a pretty much new set of Dirt Webs into smoothies. LOL. Definitely the best handling 4WD BUGGY I've ever owned.

I was so impressed with this new Tekno tonight. The EB410.2 handled amazing, jumped amazing, landed amazing and everything else. It felt so well balanced on track and in the air. Especially since the majority of its mass is up front. I crashed it pretty good my share of times too and it still came home in one piece tonight. In fact I crashed it once so good that the blade and the guts on the fan on my Reedy 510r esc exploded out of the fan casing but the buggy survived. I pulled the fan out and ran the rest of the night. I didn't gave any issues with the 48p spur gear at all. This made my happy since other are saying that they had issues. I was doing pretty consistent laps in the 17's with my best lap being 16.6 seconds on the track below. All in all I'm super happy I went with the Tekno. Wont be able to get back to the track for a couple of weeks but I'll be on vacation from work at that time and plan on going a few times that week so I'll really get to see how it goes and put it to the test. So far though my first impressions are 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I have never owned a 1/10 4WD, so I was not sure if there was a difference either. I looked around and happened to realize that on AMain the DE wheels were listed with 22-4 and EB410 as 1 part number and AE as another. That was the only way that I was able to know. So I can relate.

It seems like the clearance is really tight regardless, right? I only test fit mine. Tires were drying over night, so I will try tonight. But during the test fit, it seemed really close on clearance.

yup missed that. be curious see if they do make another chassis for the eb410 in the future.


As for wheel fitment and hexes, heck based on that chart makes you wonder (assuming no width legality issues) if including a +1 mm hex would cover everyone better, then just have the more narrow one be the option.
