For 4WD, I believe that AE/Yokomo use the same front offset, and TLR/Xray/HB Racing/Schumacher use the same front offset. Tekno has followed TLR in the past for wheel offset (short course), so I'm not surprised they went with TLR offset on their 4wd.

But the ET410 uses AE truck offset, rather than TLR. Being an owner of the ET, I almost bought the AE buggy wheels for the 410.2, just based on assumption, from the ET build.

Similar issue here, I have AE offset 4wd fronts, because my Yokomo YZ4 uses AE offset, B74 I had of course AE, so when shop people or say you need AE offset, ok no problem, pick up the wheels & some carpet tires, & move on. So now I am unable to run this again today because I have to go out my way to find or order the proper wheel hexes to fix this, “Ain’t nobody got time for that“. I’m back to running my yokomo this weekend. Correct wheels, hexes in kit or specific notes on pg1 in the manual would have resolve this.

Be happy you don't own a Schumacher. My CAT L1 Evo uses TLR front wheels and Associated rears.

Ok, does the Schumacher kit come with wheels?

Bummer you had issues in this area but the information needed was correct and right on Teknos EB410.2 web page. Sorry to hear people are not getting good information from their hobby shops as well. Goes to show ya that even people we think are specialists are not always that. At my recent visit to my track there were the 4 packs of the DE Racing Stadium Truck wheels for sale on the wall so I asked if they had any of the 4 packs of the Team Associated DE Racing 4wd Buggy front or rear wheels because I am in need of both and was told back that they do not sell the buggy wheels in 4 packs because they use different sizes front and rear. This is not true. DE Racing went to 4 packs for their front and rear wheels sometime ago. I have bought several online already all the way back to last winter. This guy is and has been behind the counter at my local track for years too. Just goes to tell you do your own research and go right to the source.

Unfortunately there is so much weird specific information among dozens of brands and literally hundreds of models, it's pretty much impossible for anyone to know everything about every product. Fortunately there is the internet!

I called out the lack of specific wheel information in my EB410.1 review. I know Tekno watched it, but unfortunately it sounds like they did not update the manual in the EB410.2. Hopefully they read this thread and correct it going forward.

The specific wheels Required was not in the Tekno EB410 Instruction manual, & I purchased the kit from a LHS; this all could have been avoided if I just ordered from amain like usual, or if the kit included the required wheels. Its like buying a flashlight that uses A123 batteries (not included), or a lighter without fluid; things can be hassle free. I think the kids & I are going to stick to RC racing kits with wheels from now on.

The easy solution should be include the hexes for both. I already had wheel sets from my 22-4 so it wasnt an issue for me but it's easy to see how frustrating it can be for something that has an easy fix.

Your absolutely correct. It totally should have the same information as on the website right in the manual as well as right on the box. I personally didn't even realize that it wasn't in the manual until after I was done building the kit. While I was waiting for the kit to arrive in the mail I had looked up all of that info. on the website as to be able to order anything else that I might have needed to finish it, upgrade, or have as spare parts. In your shoes I would probably feel the same.

I am speaking for myself but I personally like to research what I am getting into, especially if its new to me. I don't understand why buying it from your LHS makes a difference as opposed to buying it from Amain? I would think it's safe to assume that both you and your LHS has access to the internet, as most businesses do these days. They could simply have been more informative/helpful when you were making your purchase instead of just focusing on making a "sale".

This info is all over the internet if you look for it.

I get what you are saying but at the same time, how hard is it to just include that info in the manual, when you buy the product? I pre-ordered my 410.2 and went on Teknos site to download the manual. I figured I would see all of the info I needed in there, just like the ET410 (which no one had any experience with being the first truggy of it's kind). But specific info was not listed in the manual or on Teknos site for the 410.2. Yes, you can search for the answer online, which I did but I don't think it is too hard to either include wheels or at least the info, directly from the brand. Not a huge deal, but I think it is a legit complaint. Voicing opinions like this lets the companies know what they can do to be better. Even with this complaint, I still am going to be a loyal customer to the brand, I just agree that they should list specific info like that, to avoid confusion.

Update; installed +1 hubs, Took it out to the carpet track Sunday for a really good shakedown; its pretty much dialed out the box, kit setup, lowered & adjusted for carpet; it’s dialed; really happy with it, so far so good!
