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.

I prefer inbound plugs that way it looks cleaner and you don't have a balancing cord flopping around.

Me personally as long as my deans have been good and I don't have them flopping around I haven't had issues.

But I do like 5mm bullets too.

Funny, Traxxas are the only connectors that I have had fail on me. I swapped to deans and haven't had an issue since.

Add me to the list of guys who recommends the traxxas connectors. The real ones, not the cheep copies on eBa*. Bought my SMC batteries that way with 10 awg. wires. I see other guys with melted inboard connectors and when they see my monster battery wires and traxxas connectors they do a V8 slap on their forhead. Plus I never plug anything in backwards by accident. I was a power pole connector guy for a long time, then went all deans. But with the traxxas I never pull on the wires and there is more surface contact inside the connector than the deans. So now everything I run has traxxas plugs. I do have a bunch of traxxas to "other brands" converters made up just in case a friend needs to barrow something or I need to charge someone else's battery. Its important to pretin then solder wick the gold from the solder area before you solder the wire to the lead. Its how I was taught at NASA to treat all gold plated parts prior to doing the final solder joint. And don't solder past the line on the lead or the lead will not snap properly into the connector housing. I see this problem almost all the time a guy shows me how his leads won't stay in the connector. I laugh inside everytime I see a guy with deans, cold solder joints, and electrical tape holding their sh*t together. I may suck driving but I almost always finish.

Anyone using the savox 1256 servo? I ordered my kit and electronics and got the 1256 because of the additional torque but am now wondering if it will be too slow. thoughts?

EC5 or 5mm Bullets is the only way to go. I actually prefer the bullets as it gives a cleaner look. They care just a pain to remove sometimes.

I use bullet plugs straight into the battery, never come out and Ive done some jumps and had some big crashes. less wiring means less weight so in my 410 I had the esc posts servo side, and since Im using them electrics on the .3 they too face the same way.

I too broke a wheel hex when building the .3 kit, I thought it was just me being heavy handed but clearly not looking on here.

A quick ? on ride height, the new truck sits really low with the new spring/oil combo and front the really rebounds, I could not see anywhere in the manual about pre load setting or anything so I just wound the collars down the shock body till it was sitting level.

I just finished the 2015 livery on my Jconcepts Raptor SCT-R shell over the weekend!! I must be one of the first guys in the UK to get this truck as I was with the 410, cant wait to start racing, first race is May 17th!!!

I am going to start building my shocks this week, and have talked to a couple people saying the .3 box shock package is too soft. I did notice the shock oil weight seemed very light when I looked at them. one was 200cst. IIRC, v1 was 350 & 450cst.

Any recommendations at this point for oil weights? I'm thing 35/30 would be a good start. I think I was running 30/27.5 before.

I'm racing tomorrow night so will ha e a better idea then, the new geometry means it doesn't need to be so heavy oil wise to gain the same damping.

My rear v1 carbon towers always break at the two unused holes in the middle of the tower.
Both carbon and machined towers are on their way.

I feel that the stock package is a bit light, but I found it to handle great with 6x1.5 piston.

It changes a lot actually. I ran the kit setup this past weekend. Truck handles amazingly. I was the only .3 truck there, and the only one who could consistently make a big quad.

I've noticed on the .3 that the front and rear arms don't have as many holes drilled in them for adjustments.Is there a reason tekno did this?It just seems like that takes a lot of tuning options away as far as shock positions.

The .3 suspension setup will feel soft on the bench but will work fine on the track. With the shocks mounted as far out as they are, it needs to be softer so as not to pack too much on the high speed bumps and landing big jumps.

Has anyone had issues mounting wheels to the 10.3, I have jc hazard scte offset. The problem is I had to drill out the centres to fit over the new stub axles? Also the inside of the wheel rubs the cap head screw on the steering link where it attaches to the steering knuckle? Any ideas of foxes guys??
