Tekno RC SCT410.3 Thread

I haven't seen that issue before. I just tried to replicate it on some of trucks here and the only truck that the bumper popped out on was one where the A block was stripped. I can't see how the bumper can flex enough over that short of a distance to go from between the chassis and bulkhead to under the chassis unless the A block is stripped or the bumper isn't tight against the A block. Make sure your A block isn't stripped, if it's not make sure your bumper is wedged between the bulkhead and the chassis and that it is all the way up against the A block.

Search function is your friend. I think there has been lots of talk on this thread or the OG SCT410 thread about it. But at least body, wing and mount (I think the wing mounts come with body mounts) and the 17mm conversion from Tekno, TKR5570-17). If you don't want to shave off the nerf guard tabs on the side trays, you will also need side trays. Also a front bumper.
That's just off the top of my so I might be missing something.

Drove the .3 for the first time last night. Need help with a couple of things. Currently the rig is set up to stock specs.
1. The cap screw on the steering links was rubbing on the rim. I removed the two washers it says to install above the link ball and that fixed the issue.
2. Very sharp low speed/ off power turning.
3. Not enough on power steering.
4. Traction rolled a couple of times. I reduced the droop front and rear and it seemed to help. I didn't have a ruler or a caliper to measure my exact droop so I know I need to do that.
I've read the set up manual for my old SCTE but I'm not sure where to start here. I'm running on a mid sized indoor clay track. Currently my lap times are 19-22. The fast guys are running 16-17.

the overly sharp off power steering is fixed with the 2 steering stop screws that are not listed in the manual behind the carriers. i still have not fig out how to get more on power steering even with no washers behind the steering stops,going to try reducing front diff oil next

More on power steering...reduce droop in front a bit more (what I would recommend to start), reduce kick up (my next try), increase anti-squat (I would try to stay away from this if I could. I've been running 7/7/4 on indoor high bite clay with excellent results for quite a while now. The majority of your improvement will likely come from familiarity with the platform and wheel time. Have fun with it! It's a great truck.

2) The steering stop limiters are indeed to help this and consistency. I personally don't run them though right now as I like the hard turn in to break it loose and throttle drift the corners on the low bite dusty track I'm on. On other tracks I do more turning on late brake and then throttle out hard. The limiters have instructions in the EB48SL manual that talk about them. The holes in the spindle's leverage arms are for this.
3) There are a few things here, but common ways to pick up more steering everywhere are to reduce front kick up, increase rear anti-squat, or to shorten and raise the front inner camber link, or lengthen the rear (which will give more traction overall, but cause more of a drift all over in most driving situations and styles). Reducing front droop can also help with this as less weight will transfer off of the front wheels.
4) Traction rolling is generally controlled with:
a) stiffer anti-sway bars (on the end that is digging in and making it roll)
b) more static camber so you tend to slide instead of catch and roll
c) being careful not to go sideways where there are ruts on the track
d) limiting droop to reduce maximum roll angle
e) lowering ride height
I think we talked about the screws at the track, so please feel free to ask anything whenever.

Anyone having an issue with the front bumper on this truck? Every time my son lands a little nose down the bumper pushes out from the chassis and then hangs down about 1/4 below the front of the chassis. It causes issues with handling once it happens for the rest of the run. There are not super hard hits causing this issue so any help would be great.
Thanks

I bought some shims for the servo saver post to reduce the play. It's not much but it's the only play in the whole truck and I would like to shim it out if I can. I also ordered the aluminum ackerman plate as the nylon nuts spun during assembly. I got them tight with a pair of needle nose pliers so its all good.

So what are y'all's thoughts on running a 2-pole 550? Last Tekno I had started with a Pro4 4600 and then a 4700 Hobbywing. Thought I had read of some liking a 2-pole 550 when running on less than high bite but also being easier on the batteries. Picking up a 4500 SMC already but thinking a 2-pole might be worth a look.
