V3 V4?
I am new to the Tekno brand and am waiting for my 410.3 to be delivered. I see all these parts for V3 and V4, are these conversion parts for other manufacturers? Can someone explain what the V3 and V4 stuff is all about?
Thanks, Rick
Thanks, Rick

the V3 & V4 stuff is for electric conversions for other vehicles. In this thread, we sometimes call the sct410.3 the v3 and teh normal sct410 teh V1...kinda confusing, I know....

Same thing happened to me. Tightening the set screw on the lightened steel wheel hexes and snap! I emailed tekno and they said they have none of them in stock so they can't replace it until they get more. Already ordered the aluminum ones. (Had no choice)

Dear Tower Hobbies Customer,
Thank you for contacting Tower Hobbies. I have reviewed your backordered item and we show we are expecting to have these in mid-May. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...EARCH=TKRC5507
I know it can be frustrating as to when these will be back in stock. Unfortunately we are only given estimated dates for the arrival. We can assure you that once it has come back into to stock you will be notified and we will go ahead and processed to get yours shipped out to you.
We appreciate your time and business with us.

Again nothing worth while.
I had better info from Tekno:
It is impossible to tell if your order will be one of the ones that is filled. Tower Hobbies has pre-ordered a lot of SCT410.3 from us and we were only able to fill a small part of their order with our first shipment of kits. We received a partial shipment of kits from our factory in order to start getting the kits out in the market as fast as possible. Following shipments of kits will keep arriving until all orders are filled. Have patience and eventually your order will be filled. This should not take more than three weeks.
Still no joy

You see where I'm going. Everybody wins on this deal... Tekno makes money, Pete makes money, and the current owners get a transitional upgrade option. Some may already have the light chassis and other aluminum options not included on the .3. A limited offer would bridge the gap. Just a thought...

Do the kits not include the plastic ones at all?

As a side note, looks like the EB48SLs are being shipped out now it appears.

He's got all the V1 guys in mind on best way to get the V3, and be somewhat cost effective.

Did you ask / did they offer to replace it with standard aluminum ones instead? Heck, if there is snapping issues I probably would want the standards.

I'm guessing I'm probably not the only one to ask them. The kits don't have the plastic ones but I had some from my .1

Droop
Okay, I have the new kit coming. I have a question about droop. I can set this up pretty easy on my touring car. I get the ride height. Then I lift the car until the tires begin to lift and get the chassis height. This height minus my ride height gives me droop.
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?

For those that have built this truck, anyone else having an issue with the screws to secure the steering links to the akerman bar? Both mine the heads were soft, and stripped before ever getting even close to being snug...still had a couple mm's to go. Ended up using 2 sets of pliers to snug them up. 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.
