Tekno SCT410 Thread

I have had one of the 4 Tekno vehicles I run get the binding on top of the steering post. Pulling the front off and then putting it back on as originally done in the manual (tightening screws a bit at a time, instead of in just once place) seemed to fix it. I think I developed it after trying to cheat and only pull part of the front off while rebuilding something (I think it was the hinge pin when I added that in after the fact?).
As for the arms, I've had to ream or break in mine. I just used a long screw as I didn't have a reamer, though added the 2 buck reamer from hobbyking to my most recent purchase from there. Side note: I LOVED that the extra strong arms I got for my EB48 build had come pre-reamed (this was before the .2 release, so I got them in a separate package).
As for wheels, I still like the stock SCTE Losi wheels. I've deformed the AKA's a bit, cracked around the hub of some others. I recently tried the F11's and like them a lot too.
Lastly, regarding the motors as folks have been talking about it. I've been running 16t with an RX8 Gen2 and HobbyWing 4700, 65% current limit, no boost/turbo/timing/drag/push. The ESC will thermal without the fan, but with the fan comes off around 130 and the motor comes off around 135-145 depending on ambient and how much I push it that day. It'll also come off about the same temp after 10 minutes as it does from 5 minutes. This is both indoor smaller track with more wheel spin and an outdoor high grip track with more hard braking.
Here's an example of the outdoor track, I'm the yellow truck and I wasn't squeezing it full at the start of the straight so as to still have some tire by the end of the main, but you can see that speed is not an issue with those electronics settings and gearing (please pardon the first lap or so while I got used to the SC again from 2wd buggy):

Good thing, will give her the opportunity to do some dissassembly. My youngest (3) already wants to help out with all of that and more lol.
If I really wanted to give her a workout, I could have let her wrench on an SC10 4x4 to get to the diffs

Er: I meant hinge pin braces...running without hinge pins wouldn't work so well. Cain got it though.
I don't know if anyone else has this issue, but it looks like my motor mount is slightly crooked. I've tried loosening everything and re-adjusting it straight, but nothing seems to work. I don't recall ever crashing into anything hard enough sideways to cause this. There is no visible damage anywhere to make me think that this was caused by a crash. Performance hasn't been effected, but it just looks strange. What do you guys think?

Anyone know how much lighter the buggy chassis is than the 410 one?
My truck weighs in w/body and batt at 7lbs 1oz stock. I'd like to shed some weight lol

yup, it was this listing I bought:
http://www.rctech.net/forum/r-c-item...sct-410-a.html
For the price, I couldn't pass it up. She was going to start with my RC10B4.X that had the front end "RPM'd", but, this worked out better.
Now the old man needs a new body, I think my flotek is done.
Anyone got a recommendation on any of the proline bodies outside of that EVO one?

IMO, keep the weight down low and shed up top with all the carbon bits and titanium screws.

FTW diamondback. Love mine. Really durable.
+1 all my avids have been fantastic using the +1mm aluminum hexes.
What are the stock front and rear springs on this truck?

Hey Guys,
Soon to be a first time Tekno customer. What type of servo would you recommend: High Speed or High Torque? Please give a little reasoning to your answer. Also what bodies are working well with this truck?
