Detailing the Design of Tekno's EB410 Buggy
The team at Tekno RC has been slowly teasing the upcoming release of their latest 1/10-scale racing buggy, the EB410. Through a series of blog posts, they’ve introduced technical tidbits and a view of what this four-wheel drive kit will look like. Their latest update centers around the design of the chassis and also provides a rundown of some of its technical features.
Stating that this isn’t a “copy” of an existing buggy, it appears that Tekno has done their homework when it comes to the technical design of this vehicle. Known for their ⅛-scale competition-focused machines, this will be 1/10-scale buggy.
Designing and building a R/C buggy that’s both lightweight yet durable, not to mention able to be adjusted for varying track conditions, is a task that I’d imagine to be nothing short of Herculean. Judging by the thoughts and details shared, it appears Tekno RC is on the right path to yet another impressive performer.
