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)

TKR5542 – Spindle Carriers - TKR5541B Spindles
TKR6009 – Shock O-Ring and Bladder Set (for 2 shocks)

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.

So, if you look at a setup sheet. One dot is a a full 1 degree change. Two dots are .5 change. If you are using the composite C and D blocks. The center hole on C gives you 3 degrees of antisquat and center dot on D would give you 3 toe. So if you were to do 1 dot straight down on C and 1 dot straight right on D you would have 2 degrees of antisquat and 4 degrees of toe. ( all in the center position). Where it gets fun. You can play with the LRC and lower the whole roll center by moving the dots to the corners. I don't have the exact degrees yet but when you put the dots in the corners according to the setup sheets you could lower the rollcenter of the whole rear by 1 degree and still maintain a 3 degree of toe.

yep thats whats throwing me... you can orientate the pills any way up/down etc etc and in the instructions is only explains the orientation of the pills for the stock setup ... but im trying to get to 1 degree anti squat and stock toe in ( which i think is 3 degrees ) using the composite blocks I have.

Go all the way down center on C block and all the way up center on D block (for 3 degrees toe), using the stock composite blocks. Stock setting is 2 degrees toe which would be all the way up inside D block.

I use that Tacon 4pole 550 motor with the SCT Pro ESC in my SCTE (modded 1.0 version, not quite as heavy as the Tekno but heavier than the 2.0) and it works really well for me. A bit better (runs faster and cooler with the same 14 or 15 tooth pinion) than my 550 size TenShock 411 4600 kv motor.

This may have been discussed, but does anybody know if any other manufacturers shock collars work on this truck? Looking to add some color?

Yes put the insert in the C block exactly how it shows in the manual. Then on the D block instead of having the dot in the lower inside corners like stock you want it in the upper inside corners, or use the same insert as the C block just turned over so the dot is middle top for 3 degrees toe.

Tekin Pro4 4600KV came in the mail today I picked up on the forums here! And then I raced to Hangar 18 rc shop in Cary, NC to grab a RX8 Gen2 for $199.00.

This was going to be a budget build but. It just does not work out like that in this hobby. I've got right at $1,000 invested so far. that includes truck, esc, motor, radio, (1) battery, cheap charger, tires, wheels, body. And I'm not done . If my wife only knew.

Tekin could have it least thrown in a sensor wire, nor the motor or rx8 came with one lol.

It's almost ready though! After I get some solder tomorrow , I will get to test out all of my hard work, and the wore out finger tips have paid off.
Is 12 gauge wire enough? Or should I use a bigger gauge?

i run 12 awg , i would match it to what ever guage is coming out of your battery which im guessing is 12 awg anyway that way everything is the same
i used to use 10 awg but it was a pain to solder , needed a better soldering iron and the cables were more of a fiddle to fit on the gold posts neatly.

It's not hard to solder large wires at all if you use the wire wrap method for soldering things together.
Flite-test has the perfect demo on this, but it also works with a large wire against a solid post to, just a slightly different initial approach.

I would contact Tekin, the motors always come with sensor wires, at least they used to. All of my Tekin motors did.
12g wire is plenty. Many like larger gauge but Tekin has said publicly that 12g is more than enough for 1/8 scale applications. I have used the stock Tekin wire that comes with the ESC but I like Deans Wet Noodle or similar.
