Tekno RC SCT410.3 Thread

Ok, I've had this truck about 6 months. Love Tekno, have/had their buggies. No issues. For this truck, I've run it on loose outdoor and now a few times indoor on clay. The truck has the battery mod and I've had no issues with nose down (actually lands great), BUT for the life of me can't get the rear planted. It's pretty good in and out of the tight turns within a track but going down a straight into a sweeper kills me every time. I have to let up just to make the turn (or oversteer) without the rear spinning out while other trucks go right through it. I've tried everything (hubs forward, springs, oils, shocks up/down, long links, etc). I'm just starting to accept that with the battery mod, this truck just can't get that balance to hit a sweeper full speed. Just don't know if I'm still missing something, my skill level (racing about a year) or do I just learn to drive what the truck will give? I don't really have a question here, just ranting I guess..carry on.

As far as what you can do to plant the rear into a turn, there's a few things.
-Run the shortest front link you can while also running the lowest front roll center, the 4A position. This makes a huge difference in how the truck goes into the corner. It also makes the truck land really well.
-Stand up your rear shocks, all the way out on the tower and all the way in on the arm.
-Lay the front shocks down, one out (from all the way in) on the tower and all the out on the arm.
-Less antisquat, try running 1, .5, or 0 degrees of antisquat.
-Move the rear hubs back, try 1mm spacer behind the hub and 4mm in the front.
-Try less front and rear camber, camber makes a big difference with as little as a quarter of a turn on the links. It's good to have a second person help you with this so you can stay on the drivers stand while they make a change and throw you back out
-Try a lower rear roll center, go up on the rear tower's camber link position. You can also make the link longer, helps slow down the change in camber through the suspension travel.
-Try more kickup, this will make the front dive a little more which isn't what we want but the increased caster we get from doing this is a bigger difference and helps control the truck into corners. You'll also get more on-power steering.
-Try a lighter rear swayar

I just purchased the SCT410.3 and currently have a Tekin 4600kv motor from another truck. Could this motor work? What pinion should I use for indoor clay track? Thank you

Try something new if not fit to your driving skills. I have tekno 410.3 with ton of upgrade I just sold here. I am not bashing this thread I love tekno products most durable kit that I have same with xray but my driving skills not fit so i try to get SCTE 3.0 and my driving skills fit easier to drive than tekno. My local track never beat tekno guy sponsor since we're both tekno but when i got the SCTE 3.0 lucky i beat him twice in race.

My concern is guys are saying the 4600 will run hot pretty quick and the 4300 would be a much better motor for the truck....

Did tekno ever release a true loose 1/8 track setup to go off on? If so, that could be helpful for a starting point. I dont' recall ever getting that in the V1 car which caused me to try a different vehicle that didn't have those issues but its lack of support from the company making it was striking in comparison.

Another option, Maclan's 4150kv 550 motor.
used you can probably get either of these motors for around $50 or so.

Another option is the Hobbywing 3656SD Motor, 4000Kv . Motor runs excellent and is on sale apparently for about $72 shipped or less with discounts new. Motor is like a 545 sized motor that runs relatively cool and has great power.
