I think they will but you will need knuckles, axles, out drives etc. I think they are the same on the chassis side.

So the hinge pins will work but not the hubs? I will need longer turnbuckles and steering rods too.
MKL do you mind measuring them since you have both the truggy and the SCT? Thanks in advance.
I'm pretty interested in making a monster truck mod. We're talking about $100 in parts plus tires.
How much longer are the truggy arms?

Unfortunately I'm not near my cars, attending the NASCAR race in Watkins Glen. But both cars use the same gearboxes and inner hinge pins so I have to assume the inner part of the truggy arm will work on the SCT. You are right you will need new links as well.

Lucky race fan!
Thanks for the info.

The arms will fit yes. But you will need a few parts to do it,
For the rear you'll need: Arms,rear hubs,rear driveshafts/17mm Hexes, turnbuckles, outer bearings, new out drives for the diff to fit the new driveshafts, outer hinge pins.
Front: Arms, Spindles,spindle carriers, spindle bushes and spindle carrier bushes,17mm hexes,front driveshafts, bearings, out drives for the diffs.
You'll also need all the hardware to screw it together as some screws are larger etc
Also if you have the .3 I'd suggest upgrading the hingepin holders to alloy, as the extra force the arms will put on will break the plastic quite easily.

Keep in mind that everything I listed above still may not work well as the longer arms will potentially give the shocks a longer swing radius so you may need the truggy shocks to get the suspension travel needed, so you may need to buy both towers and a set of truggy rear shocks and put the rear SCT shocks on the front.
And even after all that it still wouldn't be competitive on track with truggy said as it doesn't have the longer chassis etc.
In my opinion you'd be better to offload your SCT and buy either a new ET48.3 or a good used ET48 roller as they come available once the new model arrives.

So I've got my kit, now trying to decide on esc, motor & servo. I'm thinking on one of the protek waterproof ones, I have 2 in two of the Wp's-7701 in my yeti xl's and the end worked well. So I'm looking at castle systems due to being somewhat waterproof and the majority of my vehicles are all castle powered. I wanted to see what the take was on the consensus of what systems as it seems borderline between the SCT set ups and the MMP set ups. I'm not a racer as the only track near me is a 8th scale that is marginally kept up with, their time and effort are on the mx track. Basically I'll shave the lot next door and I've bought a couple of skateboard ramps and there is a ditch in the back of the lot so it works out. Keep in mind it's mostly for my 6 yo son. And the reason I like waterproof is it is a universally known law from the heavens if there is a water puddle within range of the transmitter or battery any kid and especially my son will somehow find the middle of it a full blazing speed....
Anyone! Any thoughts? I was thinking going bigger to keep the temps down when the grass gets to maybe 1.5-2" to keep me from having to scalp it every afternoon.
And yes, we have other vehicles, 3 yeti xl's, 2 yeti 1/10's, 4 8th scale truggies, 2 8th scale buggies, 2 ecx circuit 4wd converted to traxxas valen??? Power, a losi mini 8T, and 2 latrax rally's, and when I finish this build there will be 2 sct410's. The bug stuff is more fun at the track or the beach and he likes the sct for around here. I was thinking I need to look for some possibly wider and maybe slightly taller tires just in case as well. Anyway thanks for any input.

Thanks Jpm1,
That's a little more than I anticipated. Maybe down the road when I accumulate more parts.
Just floating ideas and this is the place to float them.
Thanks again.

is there a body that fits thesct410.3 that stays inside the front and rear bumpers?

On an unrelated note have any of y'all had an issue with the 410.3 being top heavy? I am riding relatively low but still it seems extremely top heavy.
Oh and I still nose down hard

The bumper is designed to be inside the front of the body. Unless you mounted the body way back, the bumper would be exposed, you'd have to trim out the grille area. But the wheel wells won't line up with the tires, so it wouldn't work out unless you trimmed out the wheel wells too. And it would look goofy.

Car went great this weekend,
BUT:
just some little, hard "Bumps" about 10cm high and 40cm wide, and the "nose down" was dramatic. Changed oil in the back to 300cst: a little bit better. Moved the upper mount of the suspension inward: not better, reduced the travel: the problem was amplified. Changed everything without the oil back and get 3. overall (just 5 competitors).
Planed my next changes:
Building some pistons 4x1,8, oil: more cst, building a "bump" for testing in the backyard.
