Welcome to the SCT410.3 Wiki!

7.26.17 - BB
In order to run the recommended team setup, you need the following optional parts:
TKR6106 Orange LF Springs
TKR6114 Green LF Springs
TKR6018 composite shock caps (built to emulsion) OR TKR8702 Aluminum Emulsion Shock caps
TKR8027 Shock Stand Offs
TKR6051 8x1.3 pistons(drilled to 1.4mm)
TKR8104 .4 bellcranks
TKR8100 .4 ackerman
TKR5545B HRC Hubs
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.

TKR5163 – V2 Adjustable Hinge Pin Brace “C” block, 7075 CNC, EB/NB/ET/NT/SCT) - Helps to improve durability on hard crashes.

TKR5545B – HRC Rear Hubs (L/R, CV or uni, SCT.3/SL) - Improves stability of the rear on mid to corner exit. Allows harder acceleration on corner exit.

TKR6146 - CNC Delrin Shock Cartridge Set

TiNi Shock Shafts
-TKR6004T (front)
-TKR6017T (rear)


What spare parts should I keep on hand?
TKR5020 – Hinge Pins (inner, front/rear)
TKR5516 – Front Suspension Arms and TKR5515 – Rear Suspension Arms
TKR5542 – Spindle Carriers - TKR5541B Spindles
TKR6009 – Shock O-Ring and Bladder Set (for 2 shocks)

Tips and Tricks

List of Vehicle Setup Adjustments and Build Tips can be found here. There are several videos and articles detailing the building of shocks, diffs, camber links, etc.

Use steering stops/limiter washers... more info here.

Setup Sheets:
Setup sheets for all Tekno RC vehicles can be found here. Please be sure to try our recommended setup. It works very well on most tracks.




Hinge Pin Insert Chart:

Warranty Policy:
Tekno RC is the only company in the industry that will give 50% off of parts if returned to them using the General Warranty return policy found on their website. The parts can be lightly used or completely abused, as long as the part is still being produced it's covered!

Piston Drills:
Some of our setups recommend using pistons that are enlarged. For instance 4x1.9 or 3x2.0. To drill the pistons we recommend the following:
GMK Supply Piston Drill Set
16PC Metric Bit Set Metric Sizes 2.00 to 3.00 MM.

^^what he said. All 4wd SC trucks have a tendency to do this, and you have to adjust for it.

I'll agree to a point as some do it more than others. Its was probably the one reason i went away from the Tekno SCT410 as I couldn't solve the issue sufficient to my driving style versus the competition. One jump where I would go nose down over and kill my time the Losi driver could just hit it full speed and go. My next car didn't have this issue.

The SCT410.3 however does feel much better in this regards and I am looking forward to seeing if the "jump of doom" is now a distant memory this year.

I bought a set of associated 50mm steering links. I am also using the new ackerman and steering components. I'm not sure if that's what you're asking or not.

I'm looking for the assembled length of the steering links from the Ackerman to the hub. The length can be measured on the inside between the plastic rod ends like they do in the manual. I was hoping someone had the measurement so I have a good starting point without the guesswork. Thanks

Here's the setup I ran at Motorama. It was really good. Give it a try and see if you like it.

The Armma wheels can fit too from the Senton.

For the new steering components, are we going to see all the parts needed to do the conversion available from Tekno out fo the box? By that I mean, no need to cut any turnbuckles, etc?

Rather have it factory if possible.

I'm wondering if the next sct410 will be more related to the eb410 than the eb48. As it stands now the eb48 and sct410 have deviated in many ways, there are now very few common parts in the kits. So I think from a manufacturing standpoint it might be good to have more shared parts with one of their kits.discuss, debate and fight, go.

That's very doubtful. But it is something I will bring up to FierceRC since he's been known to put upgrade packages that make sense together.

Interesting thought process, with good points. While I agree the SCT and EB have grown apart in alot of ways, I don't feel that the sct will be close to the eb410.

I have no direct knowledge, and probably way off base, but I expect the eb410 to be a whole new breed without much in common. New chassis for sure, and I expect everything else to be scaled down a bit as far as size is concerned. Again, this is just my guessing based off what is on the market now.

the SCT410 to be honest differed quite a bit from the EB48 when it first was released since it used a lot of specific sized parts versus the EB48.

Heck of the SCT 4x4 race level production vehicles, the closest I saw to the 1/8 buggy counterpart was my Durango, probably since it had those pivot ball suspension setup so just needed shorter arms, etc. The trade off was being it was quite a bit heaiver than other 4x4 SCTs.

part of here is wondering if I should pick up say an EB48SL on the cheap to use for 1/8 e buggy running out here as that shares parts with the SCT410s and can be had cheap. would love an EB48.4 for sure though, just not sure if 1/8 e buggy is going to be something local this year.

I don't know why they wouldn't be able to get those wheels. They're on Towers site which means they're carried by GP, I can't imagine a hobby shop not using GP.
