In order to run the recommended team setup, you need the following optional parts:
TKR6106 Orange LF Springs

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.

It will work, but youll need to shim the steering rod up on the servo saver end. The HB mount is a good one if youre on a budget. http://www.amain.com/rc-cars/hot-bod...s67169/p148908

Ok, great. Didn't know that. I will look it up and see how to do it. I'm almost done with the BEC install. I wonder if I should try that first strictly for troubleshooting sake.

Countersunk holes?

Am I correct in assuming the screws going into te steering tubes, should be countersunk?

As you can see neither one is countersunk - just want to confirm before i contact Tekno.

I see a lot are changing springs. Is the stock setup that far off? I'm fixing to build a new 410.3 for a buddy and want a decent starting point for him. I read about the stock springs not allowing for proper ride height. I was planning on compressing the springs overnight before assembly to allow them to be softer than stock. Any tips?

So I am afraid you will probably have to buy springs at least and play with different shock oil weights Pistons would come next.

What advantage does changing pistons have over thicker or thinner oils? Wouldnt an oil weight change be the same thing?

Dragonfueled,

I'm pretty new as well and to be honest I bought them because a few people recommended them. Some complaints that are out there is how soft the suspension is. I think that with less oil flow with medium weight oil it handles better than more flow with heavier oil. I'm just playing around with different things and I truly do not know what the end effect is with the two. I know its working well for me and I had a few drivers run my truck at the last race and they were impressed with how well it was driving.

So what Pistons do you recommend? I'm building a basher so a little more dampening might be good.
Allready have allumimum hinge pin braces and diff pins. Just got alluminum servo horn.Trying to get all my basher parts before I build it.

Oil changes how fast the piston moves through it. Piston effects how much pack there is in the shock. If you run a heavier oil, you may get enough the shocks firm enough for big jumps, but little bumps will upset the truck. Changing the piston will give you the pack for big jumps, but still allow low speed handling.

+1 you change the pistons for the pack. the 10 x 1.2 pistons I never felt like I got enough pack from the version 1 and sounds like its still the case.
