Exotek EB410 Edge lightweight body shell

Coming from Exotek and made for the Tekno RC EB410 buggy is the new Edge lightweight body shell. The body was designed to sit 8mm lower than the kit shell to lower the overall centre of gravity while offering a new look. Exotek have also taken great care to still allow the mounting of the fan above the motor and still allow normal height or low profile servo use. Clean lines are used throughout for a clean “aero” downforce package yet allows easy custom painting thanks to the smooth and rounded corners. The Edge body weighs in at a svelte 27g unpainted versus the 37g stock unpainted body thanks to a premium lightweight thickness polycarbonate that is a proprietary custom produced material only for Exotek that is much stronger and longer lasting. Included with the body come window masks but no wing.

Tekno EB410 alloy stub axles & composite diff gears

Coming from Tekno RC and made for the EB410 1/10th scale 4WD buggy are aluminium stub axles and composite diff gear sets. Starting with the stub axles, they are CNC-machined from 7075 aluminium, hard anodised for wear, and reduce the rotating mass as well as unsprung weight by over 5g per pair. They are a direct replacement for the stock steel stub axles and do not require any additional parts. Although these axles are tough, they are intended to be used for performance improvement in the highly competitive 13.5 4WD class and may not be as durable as the stock counterpart. The axles are available as separate sets for the front and the rear of the buggy.
