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.

JConcepts MT410 protective overtray

Coming from JConcepts and made for the Tekno RC MT410 monster truck is a protective overtray. When racing or bashing on a loamy or top-soil dirt surface, the inside of the MT410 chassis can become loaded with dirt or debris which creates extra weight. With the overtray these worries are minimised as the accessory fits snug around the entire chassis structure while being attached along the sides of the chassis with hook and loop tape for easy access. The overtray is built with height to provide extra room for various electrical and battery configurations but is still low enough for a clean fit and installation. There is a slight opening at the front-end which manoeuvres around the steering assembly and top-deck and also an open rear-end to provide some natural air-flow in and out of the closure. The tray has large front and rear trim-able openings which can be detailed for air-in and escape. The overtray comes clear and untrimmed.

Exotek roll out new EB410 optionals

Coming from Exotek and made for the Tekno RC EB410 buggy are a couple of new optional parts. First up is a machined heavy duty 81T spur gear and mounting plate set for the stock centre gear diff. The much stronger machined delrin spur gear reduces the chances of stripped gears and includes the machined 7075 mounting plate with hardware. The 2-piece design also makes for quick and easy spur gear changes as owners do not have to open the gear diff and remove the outdrive, or refill the oils. In addition the alloy mounting plate provides cooling of the diff fluid for more consistent diff action. A 81t spur gear is included and the alloy mount also works with Exotek’s optional 72T spur.

Tekno EB410 13.5 Performance Bundle package

Coming from MIP and made for the Tekno EB410 4WD buggy is the Pucks 13.5 Performance Bundle package. Designed for the growing 13.5T stock class, the set is an aluminium based drivetrain system that features an all-new redesigned 2-piece aluminium bi-metal bone and alloy steel yoke, two front 78mm bones and two rear 69mm bones as well as the name-giving 1.5 Pucks. The latter increase the longevity of the drive system by reducing the wear and tear between the pins of the bone and slots of the cups. In addition the set decreases the drivetrain’s overall rotating mass by 25 percent. The decrease in weight directly results in quicker acceleration, deceleration, and lower motor temps.
