Welcome to the SCT410.3 Wiki!

7.26.17 - BB
In order to run the recommended team setup, you need the following optional parts:
TKR6106 Orange LF Springs
TKR6114 Green LF Springs
TKR6018 composite shock caps (built to emulsion) OR TKR8702 Aluminum Emulsion Shock caps
TKR8027 Shock Stand Offs
TKR6051 8x1.3 pistons(drilled to 1.4mm)
TKR8104 .4 bellcranks
TKR8100 .4 ackerman
TKR5545B HRC Hubs
You also need the Aluminum C Block (others can stay composite)

What option parts should I consider buying with a new kit?
None are required but we recommend the following:

TKR5161 – V2 Adjustable Hinge Pin Brace “A” block, 7075 CNC, EB/NB/ET/NT/SCT) - Helps to improve durability on hard crashes.

TKR5163 – V2 Adjustable Hinge Pin Brace “C” block, 7075 CNC, EB/NB/ET/NT/SCT) - Helps to improve durability on hard crashes.

TKR5545B – HRC Rear Hubs (L/R, CV or uni, SCT.3/SL) - Improves stability of the rear on mid to corner exit. Allows harder acceleration on corner exit.

TKR6146 - CNC Delrin Shock Cartridge Set

TiNi Shock Shafts
-TKR6004T (front)
-TKR6017T (rear)


What spare parts should I keep on hand?
TKR5020 – Hinge Pins (inner, front/rear)
TKR5516 – Front Suspension Arms and TKR5515 – Rear Suspension Arms
TKR5542 – Spindle Carriers - TKR5541B Spindles
TKR6009 – Shock O-Ring and Bladder Set (for 2 shocks)

Tips and Tricks

List of Vehicle Setup Adjustments and Build Tips can be found here. There are several videos and articles detailing the building of shocks, diffs, camber links, etc.

Use steering stops/limiter washers... more info here.

Setup Sheets:
Setup sheets for all Tekno RC vehicles can be found here. Please be sure to try our recommended setup. It works very well on most tracks.




Hinge Pin Insert Chart:

Warranty Policy:
Tekno RC is the only company in the industry that will give 50% off of parts if returned to them using the General Warranty return policy found on their website. The parts can be lightly used or completely abused, as long as the part is still being produced it's covered!

Piston Drills:
Some of our setups recommend using pistons that are enlarged. For instance 4x1.9 or 3x2.0. To drill the pistons we recommend the following:
GMK Supply Piston Drill Set
16PC Metric Bit Set Metric Sizes 2.00 to 3.00 MM.

If you're running 3s you shouldn't need such a high mah. 4300-5000 should be plenty. A 2s 7200 is equal to a 3s 4800 pack in terms of total energy. And because 3s is a little more efficient (if you're running an appropriate motor) you can get by with a little less. A 6000 mah 3s pack is like a 2s 9000 pack, just for reference. If you're looking for hard case, SMC sells 3s in 4300, 5000, and 7200 size packs. If you and the facility you run at are ok with soft case and that's what you have I'd just run them.

The arm is supposed to twist on the pin, rather than the pin twist in the hinge pin holder blocks. If the arm isn't freely moving on the hinge pin, then you should either do the arm cut mod or ream out the arm to 4mm. You can see what I mean about all of that in my video over here (done with the ET48 build).

As reference - My kids have a couple slashes that run on traxxas 3s 5000mah 25c with fan , transponder traxxas esc / 3500 kvmotor (veleniom). Usually see 15 min of practice before a charge ( Exclusively track set up & use) . But we recently went to a high speed / high torque servo . This new servo is awesome but has noticeably shortened run time.
Im setting the Tekno up for myself therefore was looking for a bit more in run time. I'm really a old school nitro racer so lipo knowledge is very limited. Learning as we go. Definetly want to keep the truck balanced though..

I use the green grease from j&t bearing company instead of the black grease. In comes in a convenient applicator tube that fits in my box nicely. You can find it here: http://jtbearingco.com/accessories/r...9jl3d8njwzuaub

And then I use the cookies crap grease anywhere you would use the AE green slime. You can find that here: http://fiercercsolutions.com/Cookies...-LFR10087S.htm

For a racing setup using 10th scale electronics you are going to have trouble getting 15 minutes of runtime out of your truck, unless you go a large battery. And if you go to a battery that large you're going to upset the left/right balance of the truck. But more than that you've increased the overall weight which means more work for the ESC and motor which in turn means more heat.
Better to go with a standard 2s setup (that way you're legal at any track you go to) and plan on practicing around 8-12 minutes depending on your electronics and driving style.

Im went direct to Tekin & went with the $ame 3S set up there using on there 410.3. So I'm in pretty deep there. Plus its hard to go back to 2s once you go 3s . As for balance , yes I am anticipating an small issue . I was going to put the truck up on a set of on road scales to see where im at anyway ,, I guess. Re-balance if need be from there . Roar : This truck will be set up for club racing . Really dont think anyone cares @ the tracks around here. Unless ya start winning then maybe some whining

I got a Small ? Hope I dont end up in trouble here. But Here goes.. There's what looks like to be a mounting area for something just behind the battery tray & next to antenna . Really dont know what goes there. Looks kinda like a servo mounting area if there was a nitro set up. Reason im asking is ,, if i decided to modify battery tray I didnt want to screw myself down the road... Tks again..

What I think you are referring to is a servo mount. Opposite side from the receiver box? It is an option if you wanted to run mechanical brakes like a nitro. I cut mine out because I don't plan on running mechanical brakes. Worst case if you modify it and don't like it, you can pick up another tray-they aren't that expensive.

Thanks ezlight! That looks promising, but IMHO has a high snakeoil factor
