Our track has some pretty serious steep jumps. Originally I thought the eb410, was to slow in the corners for our indoor clay track. I pre-ordered the MIP Chassis. Before I received the MIP chassis, tried moving the rear shocks in front of the rear tires. That helped a lot. I then put the MIP chassis on, because I already ordered it. I like the eb410/MIP. But if I had it to do over, I would not have done the MIP. Moving the rear shocks was enough, in my opinion. Now I am playing with the et410, already with the rear shocks in front of the rear towers, I am not sold the MIP is the way to go. Maybe carpet? But on our track with lots of technical jumps, I'm going to back to the stock chassis. And in all seriousness, the eb410/et410 are a blast to drive. I still run my eb410/MIP, as it is whips in the corners like no others. But it does not drive like a eb410/et410.

Lame Tekno does not care enough to share with it's customers, some of the Pro setups. One reason my sct410.3 is going on ebay. I like comparing my setups to the Pro's, for some ideas.
i have debated about moving shockes to the front but it turns decently as it and seems to handle the jumps that we have. I like how the ET whips around corners. I haven’t even thought about getting the MIP.

They flew like arrows over the jumps. My MIP chassis setup, on gas, spun backwards in the air. Hit the breaks, spin forwards in the air. Great fun, but not fast. I'm going switch to the stock Chassis, so a standard et410. As I am a slacker, I like to look at a setup sheet from a Pro, than tweak / adjust to my driving. Am I blind, or is the only setup sheet out there, carpet? No high bite clay or even dirt?
EB410 is 48p, ET410 is 32p. Running 48p Pinon w/32P Spur the ET410 = insta destruction.

PR Racing is about to release their 401R-T (1/10 4WD Truggy) with the same 48P spur gear that ships with their 1/10 4WD Buggy, I'd like to think that they did testing to make sure this will work, though not sure if they're running 540 2 pole motors or not.... perhaps a 550 4 pole might be asking too much for 48P gearing?

did you change the diffs to the et410 diffs? That will change how it performs quite a bit

I see Exotek/Trinity both sell an "Aluminum Bulkhead Camber Saver Plate" - is there any benefit to this? Doesn't the kit already have an aluminum part there? Or are they claiming it to be stronger as it's 7075 instead of 6061?

Have you guys had issues breaking the front bulkhead/gear case?

The exotek/trinity ones have extra mounting holes that tie into the top of the bulkhead to prevent the ears from ripping off. Yes, the front bulkhead had been a weak spot.

On tracks with larger jumps, if you have the chassis setup with minimal rear bracing, repeated stuffed landings will induce enough rear end flex that the tower shears off the top of the bulkhead where it mounts. I've had my ET410 since release and broken one rear gear case for exactly this reason. Big triple on indoor clay, landing it flat repeatedly... it'll happen. Those "bulkhead savers" add an additional mounting point to teh camber plate that helps fortify the upper gear case/bulkhead.

Ok good to know gents! I'll pick one up!

i thought the bulkhead saver is for the front not the rear. Or are you talking about the rear chassis braces?

What esc? Randy Pike is suggesting dual drive(sensored only-off) with the rsx, and minimal timing for 4 poles.

Oh, and I'll 2nd the comment about a lack of setup sheets, I would also like to see what some of the pros are running on dirt/clay. I have been experimenting and narrowing down some stuff that works for me, but always nice to compare.

just broke my first bulkhead. Actually Both front and rear broke at the same time when I missed the triple really really bad. (Landed flat on the roof)

Upgrading to the bulkhead saver. Still pretty durable considering I’ve gone thru over 20 front hinge pins.

20 inner hinge pins? Savage! Happy to see that the revised bulkheads are stronger. I'm still on my original bulkheads on the EB410 (1 set of hinge pin). The ET410 don't show any sign of fatigue, I check my pins each week before hitting the track as I bleed my shocks. I always keep a pair just in case.

Did your arms inner mounting point got slightly loose / elongated?

kevinpratt823 02-07-2019 01:56 PM
The pins from McMaster Carr seem like they must be harder(and cheaper lol) I bent several Tekno pins on the ET early on, and every time it also broke or destroyed an arm. With the pins(cut down) from MC, the pin itself has just broken, and the arm was reused. https://www.mcmaster.com/catalog/125/3463

3mmx60mm long, cut to length with dremel

i have a 4pole 4300kv and a heavy finger (throttle only) the pills do get stretched when the pins broke. So I always replaced them as a set. As for the arms, they’re pretty tough. The outer edges were “oval” maybe 1mm. So I just re-use them since there isn’t any slop

at least on the buggy wheelers, the sworkz hingepins have been showing up to be more durable and about half the cost.
