To me it is a big let down on the motor mount. If Tekno is going to continue this pre set motor mount crap then Ill start looking else where. I have all 4 SCT's that Tekno made and love the 1st 3, This one remains to be seen as I just built mine. I do like the way the tolerances were designed in to it so there is no biding.

The biggest negatives to the one piece motor mount are complete motor access, pinion gear options, and gearing changes. Removing the motor isn't hard to do, it's just more involved. Space constraints force a limited number of pinion gear options on the mount. We wanted to limit the amount of mounts to two, so we have a low range (12-16) and a high range (16-20). Changing the gearing by changing the pinion is again, not hard to do, it's just more involved.
The positives to the one piece design are several. It's cheaper to manufacture, which allows us to price the kit lower. It prevents customers who are less experienced from setting the gear mesh too loose and possibly stripping out spur gears. On the flip side it also prevents customers from setting the mesh too tight and having the motor/esc run hot. It easily allows for a sealed driveline, which customers have been requesting for some time now. It's 2 less screws to have loosen during a run, so it's actually more secure than our adjustable mount.
To remove the motor or change to a different tooth count pinion I like to take off the center diff top plate and the pinion gear access cover. Then I remove the center diff. Then I remove the motor mount from the chassis along with the center brace. If you're simply changing the pinion to one with the same tooth count you can just remove the access cover.

I have been enjoying the SCT410SL so much, I was about to order another one, and then the 2.0 pics/parts started showing up on the web... I'm torn. I'm gonna get the SCT410 2.0 eventually, but life; pets, and kids come first with their needs. If my SCT410.3 finds a new home, the 2.0 will be here sooner than expected. For now, I'm living through everyone else that jumped onboard the Tekno 2.0 train.

Matthew_Armeni Thanks for this detailed reply. Regardless of whether people like this or not, it is great to hear the trade-offs and considerations straight from the source! Thanks for sharing.

I thought I'd miss the two piece motor mount not being included on the SCT410SL. I went ahead and bought the motor mount insert anyway (I already had spare bases). You know what, the one piece mount is a non-issue. I did one pinion change at the beginning of the year and haven't touched the motor mount since then.

.3
My boy is 10 and has 2 plus yrs with the .3 and many wins.... he isn't sure about the abcd blocks and wants to know y there not there ?
He didn't change much so I see tekno is trying to make more money because it is there best seller but parts wise I don't know many guys that had to buy parts it never broke ...
I under stand tekno i do
It looks the same and I seen jared drive it the 3 laps it looks dailed
My boy can't wait to get his ... hopefully Brent oders some so we can build it up

The truck Jared Wiggins drove at Shaw's Truck Nationals was a stock, out of the box truck. He may have move the rear camber link down 1 hole, and possibly went to a slightly stiffer rear swaybar. Other than that, it didn't have any options on it.

What is the length of the inner hinge pin TKR9020?

Why don't you use the diff of the EB2.1?
Did the shock tower of the EB2.1 or ET2.0 mount on the bulkhead of the SCT2.0?
How many parts are compatible betwen thé SCT410.3 and SCT2.0?
Best regards

The bulkheads on the SC 2.0 will fit any tower that fits on the 2.0/2.1 line of cars. The only difference between the bulkheads on the SC and those on the other 2.0 cars are the diffs it can fit.
There are practically no parts carried over from the .3 to the 2.0. You can run the diffs out of the .3, and any matching screws/bearings/etc., but otherwise it's a completely different car.

While this vehicle is based on an 8th scale platform, we wanted to branch off from it being a full blown 8th scale. The previous gen diffs (which is what we're using on the SCT410 2.0) are larger than any other 10th scale platform, but are on the smaller size for most 8th scales. This allowed us to lower the diff on the chassis more than we could with our current 8th scale diffs, but be more durable than our current 10th scale diffs.

Thank for your answer and explanation.
Good news for the shock tower.

So you saying we can run the sct 2.0 shock towers on the eb 2.0 if we want to convert a buggy to sct

There's more than just the towers that are different between the SC and the buggy. All the suspension arms are different, the geometry is different, overall width, lots of things. I also don't believe that SC wheels clear the 2.1 buggy carriers. SC wheels have a smaller ID than 8th scale buggy wheels.
