Tekno moved it back about an inch (my approximation) to make more room for the electronics (ESC and Motor) . It's not by much though....as to effect the way it handles....but yes, very similar to the Hyper 9e (that was my 2nd ever 1/8th scale buggy)

Vape Clouds901 whoa, slow down! 😃. Make sure you’re looking at one class of buggy - the EB410.2 is a 4wd 1/10th scale, the Elite 5.0 is a 1/10th scale 2wd and the hyper 9e and MP9e are 1/8th scale 4wd buggies - all are complete different categories. The first thing is to find where you’re going to run/race it.

No idea. Tekno only updates a car with a full new model when it's significant. They always make small running changes during the lifespan and include those parts as the model matures. A great example is the bulkheads - they had several versions of the bulkhead and kept refining it till they got it perfect
