Tekno RC SCT410.3 Thread

Hey Guys!!! I'm new the the forum but full of questions. So I've just gotten into sct racing and picked up a tekno kit 410.3 along with the rx8 esc and tekin pro 4 4600kv. But I don't know how to do proper setup for certain tracks or gearing. And my battery which is 8000mah barely makes a 5 minute main and I don't understand why. Any help is greatly appreciated.
For gearing, with that motor, start with a 15 tooth pinion on a small to medium track or a 16 tooth pinion on a medium to large track. Even way improperly geared and set up though, you shouldn't be using that many mah in 5 minutes. Either something is wrong with the electronics or battery, or there is something binding up. To check for drive train binding, simply take the pinion off without changing anything else. Your truck should roll freely if you give it a small push from the bumpers. It should also move fairly freely if you push down on it and move it forward and backwards (this checks for binding that only happens when the suspension is loaded, such as on jump take off and landing). Lastly, when putting your pinion back on, also make sure the gear mesh is proper instead of super tight. It should wiggle just the smallest amount, rather than being jammed together.
When you do a run next time, and then put the battery on a charger, check to see how many mah go back into the battery and let us know. This will give an idea of if there is a problem with drawing too much power, or perhaps the battery is just weak and dropping voltage when you squeeze the trigger.

I have always been a Futaba fan, and it's going to take a lot from a system to turn me away from their stuff.
But I have read and been told by some that the M12 is the best race radio on the planet. But I am honestly waiting to get my hands on the latest Futaba PX-R. Supposedly they have done some things that will make it as fast as the M12S and revised the trigger/steering mechanisms for finer resolution and better tuning or something like that.
But if in the end I feel the M12 is the best, I will keep that one.
As for the tracks, I plan to come out the CA this coming year to find out first hand. Need to see what they do so differently.
We have 600 acres of farm land here in VA and I am highly considering putting up a 150 x 220' covered track this coming year.

My SCTE has the same 4700 motor using the older SCT-Pro ESC and a 9352 servo run by an external 10a adjustable CC BEC @7.2v, I am getting roughly 8 minutes give or take 30 seconds of hard running with just a protek 5300mah.
That's set with 3 boost, 0 timing 8% drag brake, with a 15t pinion against a 40t spur.
You might want to check all your connections and your R4 motor stator. Are you running connectors or are you direct wired with bullets from your ESC to the battery?
Could be a bad connector if your running one.
Sounds like your getting bad electronic resistance somewhere that is draining your system. Tekin stuff seem to be plagued with these sort of issues from what I have gathered. Definitely run hot compared to the HW stuff.

Started my .3 build tonight and having problems with the front gear box binding. It turns just as free as the rear but I can hear grinding. No matter where I put the shims..... both on gear side, both on non gear side, one on both sides, one on gear side, one on non gear side or no shims at all it stays the same. Anyone else have this problem? Is there some other way? The rear is nice and quiet and super smooth.

Is everyone else's front and rear the same? Is the front a little noisier because the output angle on the bulkhead is different? I tried everything...every possible combination of shims, switched pinion gears, switched bearings, made sure the bearing and pinion were seated properly.

Did you try taking the diff out of the rear bulkhead, and seeing if it did it in the front bulkhead too? (Front and rear diffs are identical) If the rear diff didn't make same noise, I would look at diff. Also try front in rear housing. if no noise in rear housing, then look closer at front pinion/bulkhead...Just a process of elimination, and you have everything there to diagnose what the issue is.

You might wanna go ahead and tear down that diff, clean and dry off the seal and then reassemble it to try again. These are extremely close tolerance parts compared to other diffs I have built. Wouldn't take much to bind things to get a slight wobble induced into the gear rotation.
When everything is apart, I would check the outer gear thoroughly by laying it on a very flat surface, like a glass table or marble counter top to make sure it is't a manufacturer warp or defect in the trueness of the part. If all looks good, just put it back together again and go from there.
