Tekno reveal more EB410 details

Tekno have revealed more details of their forthcoming EB410 1/10th scale 4WD electric buggy kit. Lifting the hood the EB410 appeares to be a shrunken-down version of Tekno’s popular EB48 1/8th E-buggy kit with the centre diff being placed in a rear/centre position while the motor is sitting mid ship. The shorty battery pack found its position in the front, just behind the steering servo while receiver and speed controller are located on the passenger seat, just in front of the motor, leaving the rear section of the chassis pretty much free of everything and making for a somewhat extreme forward weight bias given this is a 1/10th 4WD buggy. The kit is scheduled for a release in a few weeks and for now you can find more images and information after the break.
