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.

Was planning on an EB48.4 being my first kit build, but was offered a deal here that was too good to pass up. I've still got the itch to build my first kit, so I'm leaning heavily towards the SCT410.3 now. A couple questions that the first post/wiki didn't seem to address:
- Any reason to not buy now? Any hints/rumors about a .4 right around the corner?
- Any suggestions for a Hobbywing motor/ESC combo? My buggy is running a Hobbywing XR8 SCT ESC that I'm very happy with. Motor choice in the 1/8 buggy scene seems much simpler--basically just 1900kv or 2100kv. Choices seem more varied in the SCT scene, and I'm honestly not sure what size motor I should be looking at. My buggy is running an SMC 1900kv motor that I'm also very happy with power-wise.

I don't think we will see an sct410.4 any time soon with the sct class not really that popular as it was.
For your ESC suggestion, I would say go with the same esc, XR8 SCT Pro. For motor, the SMC works well from what I have heard, i like the maclan 4150kv and Hobbywing has a nice lineup of SCT Motors.

Well, picked up a used SCT410.3 and had more fun than I thought with an SCT. The only problem was on one huge double, it was hit or miss whether it would front flip and land on its lid, or fly perfectly. About 1 out of 4 laps it was a disaster in that jump, 1 out of 4 it was okay, and 2 out of 4 it was salvageable. Pulled out of the main because my body was torn in half. Turns out my rear shock tower is bent as well.
So it looks like I need to run no anti-squat and preferably the aluminum pivot blocks as well. I need to order the inserts since I didn't get those with the used rig. Anything else? Stiffer front springs?

Yeah I noticed that too.
I'll probably just go Hobbywing on both motor and ESC. I guess I was more looking for info on sizing the motor appropriately. Seems motors can range in size from 3600 to 5400 kv. Any considerations from a power perspective? Was originally thinking something around 4600kv, but found this combo. Something like this maybe?

i think most are using a motor in the 4xxx range. 4300 and 4600 being more popular from what I have noticed. As a generalization the lower KV motors will have more torque especially if it is a 550 sized motor vs. 4600 540 size motor. Both work well and have different driving characteristics. I like the torque of a 550 sized can because it can help these heavy trucks get a nice run up on jumps, they really can push the truck around.

Thanks everyone for the motor sizing suggestions, much appreciated. I'm definitely leaning towards the Hobbywing XeRun 3652/3660 motor now. Aside from physical size, I'm not seeing much difference between the 3652 and the 3660. The picture makes it appear like the motor shaft is a different size, but I don't see anything about that in the specs. Which one of these would I want?

you want the one with the larger diameter shaft. Better suited to Mod1 pinions.

Good stuff guys, thanks. One more question before I start pulling the trigger on parts... 
Earlier in the thread I saw a question about battery capacities, with many indicating they were running batteries over 6,000 mah. My only SCT experience is coming form a 2wd Slash VXL. Running 5000 mah batteries in there, I'm seeing run times of around 45-60 minutes. What kind of run times should I expect for various capacities with the Hobbywing combo above?

Yup, I would go to somewhere around 7200 mAh on the batteries. The 5000's will run a few practice laps and start to fade, lol. Even with the 7200, on many ESC's the default lipo cutoff will be too high and it will hit it on high current pulls (straights with high RPMs for example). We generally run 540 4 pole motors in our trucks. They have more than enough pop and are easy on batteries compared to 550 4 poles. My son is running the Tekin 4600 540 and I have the older version Hobbywing 4000 545. The Hobbywing is in theory not legal for ROAR races but I couldn't really care less about that.

I also have the 4000kv 3652 540 size hobbywing motor. running it with an orion r10 pro and it is a wonderful setup. no complaints. all the power I could need

Thanks for the info everyone. Those run time numbers are a bit disappointing though. While I probably will race occasionally, I find I usually just run laps on the weekends at my local track. With a 4S 6700mah battery/1900kv SMC/Hobbwing XR8 SCT ESC I'm getting at least 30 minutes (maybe closer to 45 minutes) of run time out of my EB48.4. I'd like to see something comparable in any SCT I build as well. Would going down to a smaller motor help in any measurable way? Maybe something in the 3600-4000kv range?
