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!

Just started building my kit. My first tekno. So far I'm disappointed it didn't come with the steel pins. My build is on hold till my order comes.

You will not be able to use the steel cross pins that used the shims, their diameter is too small. If you feel uneasy about the plastic cross pins and want to use metal ones I suggest the aluminum ones, PN:TKR5149A.
Ya thanx matthew, I have a set of the steel pins in my box and couldn't find the aluminum ones anywhere local so I could start the build tonight. I appreciate the info, good to know

Don't need them. The plastic ones have been tested thoroughly and show no adverse effects.

Its just another option for tuning. Shorter wheel base will make the car rotate better.

Me personally, I'll probably just order the steel ones not for a durability perspective but for the EB48SL I am going to build to give it a little more weight since I am going to use it in 1/8 4S buggy usage and target 7lb RTR.

Is there a sort of "go to" setup for a outdoor loamy track that people run? I know most cars have something that most people are close to, just curious where people are at on the Tekno.

Don't let that stop you, I've ran composite pins in my xray for over a year, never had one break, I am building mine with them. As far as I'm concerned, less rotating mass, the better. I weighed one last night .6g I'll take that.

I ran my SCT410.3 with the plastic pins this weekend - they were fine afterward. I think they'll hold up to plenty of abuse. I plan to run them until I notice wear (if ever), and only then consider swapping to the aluminum version.

On the other hand, I did build the truck with non-lightened wheel hexes after breaking one while overtightening the set screw. Be careful with those

got pics of the breakage?

What conditions do you run on and what setup did you use and how did the vehicle feel?

A local team racer out of Omaha, sorry can't remember his name, told me the same thing about the lightened hexes. So I bought a set of the solid ALU hexes just to take care of it.

Heard Tekno is looking at the issue.

Did you also run version 1 before you got version 3? If so, what differences did you notice in handling? Thanks.

Thumbs up

I don't have any pics yet but a crack developed right along the set screw. I was more careful with the other three lightened hexes and none of those cracked.

My local indoor track is med size with tacky clay. I went from an SCT410 without any of the lightened bits to the SCT410.3 and started with the stock setup. During practice, I noticed the truck rotated in the turns a little faster on power than I was used to, and had a slight tendency to roll in the fast sweeper sections. I went up to a pink rear spring, lowered ride height by 1 mm front and rear, and later lengthened the rear camber link to the inner/lower hole on the tower (3-B if you go by the manual's notation). The roll center change made an immediate improvement so I stopped tweaking there before the main (TQ and 1st), but next time I'll try going up a notch in rear shock oil and maybe to a green rear spring. I left my old truck whole and loaned it out to my father-in-law, so side by side comparisons were easy to make between the trucks. I'd say the new SCT410.3 can be pushed faster through the turns for sure

glad to hear it.

do you have any impressions on how it handled any nose down issues?

Also, would you say in your opinion that the kit setup for the new vehicle would be a good place to start for a low traction setup?

Both of these 1654X or 5571A fit the .3 stub axles?

The 1654X increases the track width by 1mm per side and the 5571A would be the same track width as the stock lightened steel hexes (TKR5571M)?

All correct?
