Can't resist Tower's Black Friday deal for the Tekno SCT410.3. Since this is my first SC ever, would seek for advice on what other things need to buy.
Firstly, I was wondering if Proline's body for Slash able to fit the Tekno? Would love to put on one of those VW bug bodies.
Secondly, any must have upgrades? I have the EB48.3 and I know aluminum servo horns a must. Anything else? How about those lexan covers on top of the nerf bars?
Thirdly, tire choices, motor kv and recommended setting? I run in an indoor mid size clay track, when couple of days after the weekly hard packing traction might at times become low and surface become rutted. Track was technical layout with quite a few chicanes. When I look at the premounts I notice there are wheels for the SC10/Slash/Ten SCTE, which wheel would fit? As for power system, I so happened to have a Novak Havoc SC ESC unused and i need to look for a motor but i have no idea what kv i should get.
Thanks for any input

congrats, you will love this truck.
For the body- if the body is listed as fitting the Losi SCTE, it will fit the Tekno. I know there is some crossover whether the body fits a Slash or SCTE or whatever, so its hard to know without knowing exactly what body you are looking for.
Servo horn is about it. The Air Control Guards are an option to help control the parachute effect. Some like them, some don't. I think it depends on lot on the body you have and the jumps at the track.
For the wheels- you want SCTE offset which is 0. Wheels that are listed as fitting the SCTE will fit this truck.
For motor KV- popular motors are the Tekin Pro4HD 4300KV, Pro4 4600KV, (some like the 4000KV as well), a couple have tried the SMC 4 Pole 4500KV. There a lots of others I am forgetting. 4 pole motors will have better torque which modern SCT's need.
If you are running 2S batteries, somewhere in the 4XXX range will be good. Gearing will be track and KV dependent so without knowing exactly motor you have, I would be hard pressed to tell you a gearing set up. I know I have a Pro4HD 4300 and use a 18t.
Good luck, have fun. Hope this helps.

Can someone post a pic of the their setup from the bottom showing full steering lock with the washers in? This one doesnt turn setup as a pro light with the washers in.
Matt how much diff in toe and antisquat change is this in your setup from the stock build setup?

I wouldn't go anywhere below 6500mAh on a battery and make sure you get a decent pack with lower internal resistance. Don't run the packs any longer than you would race. This class more than any other is HARD on batteries. If you run them down to lipo cut off as hard as these trucks can pull your packs aren't going to last very long. The Vant 7600 my son just got is a great pack for a good price.

The Vant pack has dual bullets. Even with the dual bullets you need to keep a close eye on the fit of the bullets to make sure they aren't sloppy. Otherwise, that bullet connection can build enough heat to melt the plastic around plug and eventually unsolder the connection. Like I said, this class is crazy-hard on batteries. My son's Pro4 HD 4300 was by far the hardest on the packs too and he never really liked how it felt compared to his HW 4000 or the Viper 4500 that he is currently running.

I don't think you are lucky but you're probably know how to take good care of your lipos and keep them at the right voltage after each use. 👍

Yeah, it is setting a little high, but that is because the front still needs clearance trimmed to make way for the bumper supports. It can go down at least two more holes. When ever I finish one of these 66 ford bodies out for racing use, the first thing I do is remove the front bumper and set the body further back than is pre-dimpled and originally intended . This sets the body more rearward and streamlines the layout and eliminates a lot of the parachuting. It also centers the rear fenders to the tires better, but needs the front fenders trimmed out toward the front to compensate for forward wheel base loss. This body in my opinion is really under rated in the way it handles on the trucks. Not only will it self right almost every time a roll over occurs, it also makes driving the truck easier for some strange reason. I know it must be subconscious, but it just seems like you can tell what is going on with the way the body rolls and leans making it easier to make quick corrections. I realize how dumb that sounds, but if you don't believe me you need to try this shell and find out for your self.
