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.

Has anyone messed with the rear anti-squat? My rear toe is already at -4 deg so my next step would be to try to decrease the anti squat. thoughts?

A great way to have the truck brake straighter and more controlled is to take kickup out of the front. I have been running the least amount of front kickup for some time now (1 dot down on the A block and 1 dot up on the B block) and recently convinced some guys to try it on their vehicles. All who have tried it have only had positive results.
As for the antisquat, I never run more than 2 degrees and I mostly run 1 degree. It really keeps the rear end planted into a turn and I don't feel I give up too much traction on power.

yeah. install the servo horn onto the linkage. fire up and center the servo, then install the horn onto the servo once it's centered. after that then set your epa and trim.

Thanks for the advice. I'll put my rear droop back to stock and change the front kickup. I'll see how that works then look at the rear antisquat.

Just line it up and push it in. The bellcrank will hold it there so you can run the screw in.

Judging by the sponsors, Id guess its Sean Ramos.

I didn't have any issues with the end being loose when braking. Only upon acceleration. Both in a straight line and coming out of a turn.

I thought less anti-squat transferred more weight to the rear thus giving more rear traction? Is that wrong? If I'm lacking rear traction due to a perceived lack of weight transfer I would want more anti-squat?

Less anti squat = a more shallow angle of the rear hinge pins correct? This would allow the rear to squat upon acceleration which would increase weight transfer to the rear. correct? More weight to the rear = more rear traction.

If I'm misunderstanding you or there is an error in my thinking please let me know.

Tekno in general is trying to balance cost relative to what they can offer you in a package. It appears they added a lot of goodies to the vehicle, you will need to determine what you feel that is not there is a must have.

Personally, just start with the front hinge pin brace instead of all 4. Servo horn as well.

You can also use a cheaper horn assuming the steering assembly is the same on the new car. I did that with the V1s, just raised up the position of the access point on the steering arm then flipped the button head screw to come up from the bottom of the servo horn to clear it. Never had and issue and got the angles right too.
i went ahead and bought all 4 tekno hinge pin braces and the tekno servo arm. Worthwhile investment IMO, for durability.

I am still hoping they will release some upgraded shock towers.

I am impressed with the full option shock kits and will probably pick those up as well. The stock plastic spring retainer nuts always spin on my trucks and i always upgraded to the alum ones to prevent that.

Anyone recommend stocking up on the 5mm axle nuts? Curious how they last?

Can you give a picture to show exactly what needs shaved off. It would be easier to shave something off of the truck, than have to shave all of my rims that won't work.

Thanks in advance.

Where is it rubbing? I assume you aren't running the mudguards like the EB48 has on the front of the rear arms, correct? They don't come with the .3 kit if that helps. I know on my DE wheels some of the ribs where it tapers down to the rim rub on the rear carriers on top where the link goes.

Some of my rims work without hitting, and some do hit. And yes it is probably just the ribs on the inside of the rims hitting something.
Just thought if I could dremel something on the arm of my 410.3 instead of having to dremel the ribs on the rims, it would be easier.
