Hinge Pin Insert Chart:  Warranty Policy: Tekno RC is the only company in the industry that will give 50% off of parts if returned to them using the General Warranty return policy found on their website. The parts can be lightly used or completely abused, as long as the part is still being produced it's covered! Piston Drills: Some of our setups recommend using pistons that are enlarged.

I personally have not. But, a friend has. He landed nose down on one wheel while full throttle. Didn't break the plastic cross pin but tweaked it enough to where it was weak and wouldn't hold a gear in place.
My personal opinion is the truck is a beast. Get a al servo horn and al a+b blocks and your done. Springs and sway bars are something everyone should have as a tuning option, doesn't make a difference what brand of truck you drive....
If you do happen to break something, most likely your own fault with a tekno, then look at upgrading then.
Maybe when the time comes a m2c chassis, only bc of the steel plates for durability.

for those looking for packs on the cheap, I found some 8000mah Vants with the 2 bullet setup for $55 each shipped new.

work well, and have a 6 month warranty too if I recall correctly.
Hope all is well on the Tekno front!

I have been getting much faster with this .3 model. its really very capable sc,the positives being all metal parts have very good long term wear.I just think its really cheesy to not include metal king pin holders,shock caps,diff pins,carbon towers. these plastic king pin holders are a egg shell joke,the A block snaps everytime a front wheel touches the pipe at all. Its actually muchhhh more expensive than the losi scte after you buy what comes in the scte kit stock and should have been included in the 410.3 couple hundred bucks extra for stock parts to be durable is pathetic imho
Find a better kit at a better value?
Fire at my house? Make sure I've got the wife and kids safe...grab the Tekno by the rear bumper on the way out.

The battery I used was a Gforce 5000mAh 25C full size pack and I am hoping to use some of the MaxAmps 4250 mAh 150c shorty packs. I guess I will just have to put the pack in and see how the truck does for practice night. I really just wanted to see if there was anything that anyone had to say no way....don't put a shorty into a Tekno running a 550 can 4.5t motor or if it is really just the form factor of the battery.

I've owned both trucks and there is no comparison in reliability if you replace the A block. I've been running the stock shock caps and towers with no issues on two trucks for months. A plastic hinge A block is kind of lame but the rest of it certainly isn't necessary to beat the tar out of a Losi and still be running the same axles and rod ends well after the Losi is on to it's third set. Not being a fan boy here....but there really is no comparison between the two trucks. Then again, I prefer the original SCT410 to the 410.3....
The shock caps have broke on me as well,when the egg shell A block breaks at higher speeds,the arm yanks back and breaks the cap mount.
little parts like the delrin shock inserts and metal diff pins cost pennies to produce,id expect to not see parts like these in a basher rtr kit,but in a race kit?bad move imho. That said once you drop the $250 extra for stock parts it should of had in the first place,its a very expensive $650 roller thats reliable,durable and very fast Sc. smooth and feels like its auto steering in tight low speed corners,almost like its driving for you...lol callin it like i see it.

personally was a bit surprised they didn't at least include the front hingepin block like they did on the v1 after testing showed it was a weak point. I thought they would have continued no that trend.
As for caps never had an issue with the v1, to be honest the vehicle was quite durable outside of that change mentioned above, steel spur gear (more of a personal preference), and alloy servo horn.
Best way to help with costs is to look either on the chop shops or do packages to get the best kind of discounts.
I may be in a different camp now, but I would say I think you still get great value for the money with the Tekno especially for how it performs.

I personally would caution against doing it depending on your driving style and track conditions. At a minimum, I would:
- Set my voltage cutoff to 3.4V per cell
- watch temps on the 75C pack (last time I spoke with maxamps, the "150C" is just a burst rating, and for a continous rating they said half it)
- On charging see how the balance is between the cells If they have some spacing thats a concern.
For something lightweight, you could be on to something if you don't need long runtimes.
Outside of that, you may find more comfort in having a higher capacity and rated battery pack.

the .3 is still very new and having these little cheapy parts fail, we will all eventually buy metal diff pins,pin blocks ect if any real time is put on it. But if its fast we all will deal with it...lol

Lipo Question
Hi guys, I've had 2 6000mah turnigy nanotechs for about a year and a half, they have been great batteries but are starting to lose some punch, I want to get new batteries so I'm thinking about the nanotech ultimate which are 90c rated and also the SMC's Extreme Race Formula 100c rated, or save a few bucks and get the ones I've used before, I'm looking for honest thoughts between those 3, if it's worth the extra bucks for the "hotter" ones, thanks!

the IP version I loved. They were excellent batteries and loved the 5mm bullet pass thrus. Made making a 4S lipo easy when I dropped them into my truggy for long runtimes.
