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.

I believe what you need to do is induce a little more roll in the rear. At high speed this will help plant the rear so it doesn't want to rotate. Be careful with inducing too much roll as this will prevent the truck from steering in the corners. Best thing is to move the rear camber link up on the tower. After you've tried that, possibly going to one spring lower on the rear or moving the rear shocks in on the rear tower could help too. Wouldn't recommend the last two until you tried going up on the rear tower camber link.

Thanks for the input (other guys too). I think you nailed it though on driving style/skill. I'm going to try the suggested changes this weekend, but i think you might be right. Yeah Tekno's awesome. Ran an EB48.2 all spring and summer and it was great. The .3 is in my shopping cart as we speak. But for SC...we'll see. Thanks guys

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.

Don't give up on the SC just yet. I'm still working on my setup now, but I had my last truck pretty close to dialed. Kinda wish I didn't sell it. This truck can be really, really good. Just have to work on setup to find what you like. Make a change, run a pack. See how it feels. Best way to figure out what each change does, and which way you need to go.

To be honest the SCTE 3.0 is amazing easy to drive with stock set up and more planted and faster entering/Exit in the corner. The tekno guy sponsor i always got him inside the corner with 180º turn. My SCT410.3 i mod battery location with BCE chassis but my driving style is still not good. I think if you running indoor track i'll go with SCTE 3.0 but outdoor SCT410.3.

I have this, the proline screw on body mounts, and the MKS 599 servo (up from Savox 1267/1268)! I can't wait to try em out.
Aside from the Ford Bronco, any other good bodies to try that are different? Mainly looking for various practice bodies... I love my Jconcepts Ford Raptor Xflow for racing....
Super excited to try out my MKS 599, it was supposed to arrive today but it got delayed, so looks like Monday i'll get it!

I am glad to see the vehicle battles still going on in 4x4 SCT. Enjoy the class and hope it stays around. Its popular out here with Tekno leading the way from the vehicle types I see. the make excellent vehicles for those starting out who want a tough vehicle that handles well too.

Try running 25wt in rear and run less anti squat.

I'm having issues with the inside of wheel rubbing on the rear A-arm. Am I supposed to space the hexes off using washers or something? This is the second set of wheels that rubbed. They are Jconcepts Hazard wheels, 3mm offset. the Tekno FAQ says that LOSI SCTE wheels are compatible, which these are (wrong! see below Edit)..

Edit: These wheels are actually not LOSI compatible, they are Associated compatible. I wonder if that's the problem? A fellow racer at the track hobby shop may have given me the wrong wheels. The part number 3352B is the LOSI SCTE wheel. Crap. Good thing I checked before I glued them.
