Welcome to the SCT410.3 Wiki!

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.

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!

When dealing with offroad, everyone specifies droop with shock length. I always assume that is the maximum shock length, fully extended before you put it on the car. That can't be right. You can't control that. Is this the maximum length once you put it on the car? You can modify this with the droop screws.

Also, all my offroad cars seem to have a lot more droop than the front end (lot more movement before wheels lift off the floor). Is that the case for most offroad cars?
Another issue with measuring shock length, how do you a droop comparison of front verses rear?

Has anyone thrown this truck on a scale yet? How much does it weigh?

And yes before you ask, the bit was snug before starting the screws on both of them, I triple checked looking at the second one after having the first one happen. Second one did the same thing. It's on and where she needs to be, but it's going to suck if I ever feel the need to change that position.
wonder if tekno got a bad batch of screws?

It's possible, this is as far as I've gotten into the build, and have only ran into the issue here. All the rest of the screws were fine. I'll continues my build tonight.

And to be more accurate. After you do one side of the vehicle, do it the other side the touring car method. The touring car method is much more accurate. Just use the setup side as the reference point for measuring from your board to the bottom of some known point out on the hub.

One thing I did when my AE sets "2mm" was getting worn was to cut off the worn part with a dremel and it works like a new tip since had how much extra there already shaped.

The tekno drivers look cool, but I don't see a pass thru option on the handle which I would want, especially at that price.

Tap the holes first. It makes a huge difference and strengthens the connection as well.

What do you mean pass thru?

I managed to pick up the Large handle and 3 tips in different sizes for 38$ shipped, wasn't to bad. only had one handle or i would of got 2 more.

running them thru first helps for sure, still need a good hex to snug them good in the end..

A hole in the handle that allows you to run another driver through it or something else straight for more torque. I pop free quite a bit of screws that are hard to move by the hand that way:

I won't know till i get it and nothing is mentioned about it, but the pic shows a hole towards the end. I'm assuming the set screw can't be seen in the pic on the other end. never seen a set screw at the end of the handle.

You dont have to tighten the set screws very tight on the hex, they just need to keep the pin from falling out when you remove the wheel.

Those type of hexes, ones with a set screw hitting the axle, are junk. They create a pressure point on the stub axle. This creates a weak point that can lead to breaking stub axles. It happened to me on my old SCRT10 a few years back. I will only use the clamping style aluminum hexes or the stock plastic. Just my oppinion.

Same reason we don't reccomend using set screws on solid carbide boring bars, creates a fracture point.
