JConcepts EB410 lower front wing & nose cone

Following the introduction of the new lower front wing and nose cone set for the Team Associated B64 buggy, JConcepts now also have a variant for Tekno RC’s EB410 wheeler available. The lower wing is an option to the tower mounted front wing that has shown to produce enhanced steering characteristics. The package includes the lower front wing and the nose cone on the same mould. The nose cone is similar to what would be found on a 1/8th off-road buggy. The lower front wing can be painted, left clear or frosted for the desired look, fit and finish. Recently, Ryan Maifield captured the 2017 IFMAR World Championship in the 4WD class using this item. Reports from the pit area revealed an increased feel and sensitivity in the larger sweeping sections and helped jumping attitude in the tricky section of the difficult Xiamen built track surface.

JConcepts EB410 F2 body & front scoop

JConcepts have introduced their new F2 body shell and front scoop for the Tekno EB410 1/10th 4WD buggy. Starting with the body, the lid’s design is based off of the original Finisher body but the F2 provides an even more aggressive look with an increased windshield angle that provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps and simplified side pods to remove unwanted changes in height. The narrow rear-end of the Tekno played a role in the look and feel, however, the JConcepts designers wanted more. The team incorporated a high-end floor feature which aggressively provides a look and feel not seen before on an RC car and reminiscent of an open wheel Formula car. The F2 is also dramatically lower in height and special consideration was made for the steering, servo horn and front geometry to allow the body to have that drop-on fit. The EB410 kit includes a side-mount fan option which has also been taken into consideration with the F2 body design. The body includes a louver design built into the right hand side pod which runs alongside the fan and scribe lines where the user can add holes for direct air circulation. In addition to the newly designed body, JConcepts has included two of the latest S-Type Aero rear wings used by Ryan Maifield to win the 2017 IFMAR World Championships. The rear wing is also available separately in a 2-piece set as is a front scoop/nose cone that also is a direct fit on the EB410.

Coming from MIP and made for the Tekno RC EB410 1/10th scale 4WD buggy is a new aluminium Ackermann plate. The part is machined from U.S. grade 7075-T6 aluminium for strength and it c0mes hard-anodised for wear. The rigid structure ensures consistent steering characteristics and the plate is available for pre-order now.

MIP EB410 shock cartridge spacer kit

MIP have introduced a shock cartridge spacer kit for the Tekno RC EB410 1/10th 4WD buggy. The stock shock cartridge setup uses two X-ring seals that ride against themselves. As they aren’t designed to be stacked together they tend to roll during shock compression and they will act like a pump or vacuum, and pull air into the shock body which will make shock bleeding after every run necessary. This is where MIP’s shock cartridge spacer kit steps in. It includes eight spacers which will eliminate the need to constantly bleed the shocks. The spacers keep the same friction on the shaft to allow it to move freely but keeps the X-ring seals orientated to their proper shape during compression and rebound; thus resulting in a more consistent shock feel throughout the run. Included are four cartridge guides and four cartridge spacers but no X-ring seals.

RDRP EB410 brass suspension mounts & rear weight

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their new brass C and D suspension mounts for the Tekno RC EB410 1/10th scale 4WD electric buggy as well as a dedicated rear brass weight. Starting with the suspension mounts, they are a direct replacement for the kit’s lightweight aluminium part and add valuable weight especially when running in low-traction conditions or when the track is getting bumpier. Machined from black-coated brass and sporting gold-colour chamfered edges the parts, that can be used separately or in combination, shift the weight bias further to the rear which also helps with rotation into corners especially in low traction conditions while improving overall traction at the same time. Available are the standard geometry C and D suspension hangers and also the C-2mm and D-2mm mounts that bring the suspension geometry – and thus roll centre settings – back to standard when also utilising the RDRP0452-2mm EB410 Carbon Fibre Shock Tower Rear -2mm or any other -2mm rear shock tower.

RDRP EB410 carbon fibre option parts

Revolution Design Racing Products from Germany have introduced a range of carbon fibre option parts for the Tekno RC EB410 buggy. First up are a total of three front and rear shock towers. The direct replacement shock stays are coming as standard geometry front and rear tower as well as -2mm rear variant, all three are designed to replace the standard composite plastic shock stays with sleeker and cooler looking variants. While the standard geometry front and rear towers are machined to kit specification features the rear -2mm variant an updated geometry that bring the droop settings back to standard when running up to 2mm rear gearbox risers. The shock towers are machined from high-quality 4mm glossy finish carbon fibre and they are available separately.

MIP announce EB410 Pro4mance chassis bundle kit

Coming soon from MIP and made for the Tekno RC EB410 1/10th 4WD buggy is their new Pro4mance chassis bundle kit. The next generation 13.5 performance bundle chassis kit rebalances the car to give a stable and smooth drive. The new chassis re-configures the battery to the back of the chassis and lays the servo down. The end result is a more balanced weight between the front of the chassis and back resulting in a smoother drive and allows the car to rotate through corners better, brake faster, and accelerate quicker than standard EB410’s. The kit also features new carbon spine braces, new servo mounts and front and rear centre bones which come standard with MIP 1.5 Pucks. The kit is available for pre-order now and should hit stores soon.

Tekno EB410 lightweight body shell & wing

Tekno RC have announced a lightweight body and wing for the EB410 1/10th scale 4WD buggy. The new 0.5mm body and 0.8mm thickness wing maintain original kit styling while reducing the material thickness. When combined, the body and wing achieve a savings of 20-grams versus the stock parts which lowers the centre of gravity and improves vehicle handling and acceleration on all track surfaces. The parts are available separately from now on.
