Thats very odd. I've owned 5 410 sct's .3 and original, eb's, et's, never had a hole poked in a bladder? There has to be something messed up in the way the shock is put together. Have you looked at the stack of orings and spacers in the lower shock body? I'd bet there is something wrong there.
Is it just fronts or rears?? If so maybe the shafts are in the wrong bodies (rear shafts in front bodies?)
You should not have to dremel anything.

I agree, something is not right. The track owner that sold me the kit has never heard of it either. I'm having the problem in all 4 shocks so I don't think I have the shafts reversed front/back. I'm going to take one completely apart tonight and see if I missed anything. Very odd indeed.

the DESC10 darn fast too and really a tough beast, but, again, same thing, durango support issues

Oh by the way the shaft end with lock nut doesn't come anywhere near the bladder at full depth so that was not pushing on the bladder like I thought. Also my shock shafts are correct front and back. Not reversed. Thanks for all the help and tips.

I may have figured it out with the help of Tekno tech support. I drilled holes in the top of my shock caps for vent setup and left a little flashing on every one. The pressure of the oil under the bladder pushed it up under the cap and got cut on this flashing. The shape of the cut matched the drilled hole flashing. So I'm cleaning up the flashing with a large drill bit and hopefully that should fix it. I'll post back after some track time.

Well funny you should mention that. Both the hobby shop I bought it from and and Tekno say that this is the first they heard of it. Several months back (like last April) I did a search and found a guy had posted in July of 2015 that he had this issue and thought the vent hole was causing it. He said that noticed a hole in the bladder only when he thought to pull on each end and stretch it out. Only then could he see the hole. So people who run vent better make sure this hole is nice and smooth on the inside or plan on buying lots of bladders like me. I hope I fixed it. This is an awesome Truck.

broke my first thing on the SCT410.3... and it's a strange one... shock bladder! Somehow got a hole in the middle... was very small, hard to notice until you kind of stretched it out, but it was leaking a good amount of oil because of the hole... a bit messy and annoying, but at least the truck still actually drove pretty well for about 6 packs after I noticed the leak, just filled a little oil every once in a while.
Question, I ran the stock vented setup, if i were running the emulsion setup I wouldn't have to deal with holes in bladders... think it's worth making the change for?
Thanks.

Been trying 15/15/10 from stock and having issues with rear end being very loose now... I also changed servos at the same time from savox 1267 to mks 599 and at first the endpoints were too far but I feel like the servo is causing issues with it being loose tho.. Not sure if its the servo or the diff oil change that's making it a handful. ><

what were you are before?
Assuming you went heavier all around (say you were at 10-10-5) I can see it being more loose for sure in the rear.
As for the servo, if you mean that it feels like too much throw at too little input, try putting in some negative expo on the steering. I use this on all my fast servos as it calms down the low end response. I run anywhere between 10 - 20% depending on the car and servo.

I believe it was 5/5/5 before. Yeah it had too much throw at first, it actually popped the pin from the cvd it was turning so sharp. I put in steering limiters and adjusted the dual rate and whatnot... The truck was PERFECT before, but I wanted to see the new servo and thicker diffs would feel, and the truck is a mess now.

Also picking the best body for racing is so hard.... My JC Raptor Xflow handles and jumps sooooo much better than my JC Illuzion HF.... In wanting to get another practice body since my HF is shreaded, and I want to use my Raptor for racing only. Thinking about getting another JC Raptor Xflow, or a Proline Flotek Raptor. Not sure how the Proline handles since I haven't owned one. What's everyone's top choices for bodies??
proline flotek raptor
proline flotek fusion
::edit:: after looking a bit more, I feel like the 2 I linked both look nice. I haven't tried proline on sct yet, but the flotek bodies seem legit and worth a try. I want a aggressive front end, and good antiparashute.

Topic was brought up just a few pages back.

10-4, I was just looking for more opinions since there were only like 2-3 replies. Ill probably try the Proline Flotek Raptor (non-flotek looks awful) body finally, seems like a popular choice.
