That thing behind the motor... I hope it is what I think it is.

The two words every girl wants to hear: enclosed drivetrain

I wonder what Tekno sees in the market that justifies releasing two different cars for the same dying class.

BRabbit

It can’t be market motivated. I agree that the class is hit-or-miss, at best. Maybe it’s more of a “why not” thing. They don’t have a 1/10 race department eating time and money. So I could see looking at their current offerings and saying, “hmm, couple new parts, bunch of existing parts, satisfy a niche group that is still around”. I dunno.

The old SCT410 series was big for bashers, casuals and people that like to create weird one-offs.

I get that, but bashers don't need the latest and greatest in race geometry. The old kit could have continued to sell well in that crowd for another 20 years without change.

Cool to see them with another SCT! I love the class and wish it was more popular.

I wonder if the front and rear universal driveshafts will fit on the 410.3? The small pin in those cvds has been the weak spot for me.

Yes..! Rock Racers rejoice! Enclosed drivetrain in the rear. My DB48 was shelved due to rocks constantly becoming lodged under the spur gear.

Our SC's have been, and continue to be, some of our best sellers. I would estimate that racers are less than half of our customers, and in the RC world, racers represent a small percentage of people. We love racing, but we know that most customers don't actually go out and race. That's why we strive to make our cars handle well and have good durability. Having a good handling "basher" type vehicle is very desirable. Having a car handle well on the street, in the grass, in an empty dirt lot just means that the customer will have a better experience when driving. Then, if they decide to go to a track one day (which is our hope, to convert more "bashers" into "racers") they'll have a car that can actually get around without looping out in every corner.

These are new driveshafts and won't fit the previous truck. Aside from some shock components and hardware, this is an entirely new platform. The diffs are compatible with the SCT410.3 diffs (and previous generation buggy/truggy diffs), but include a lot of new parts.

Sir 51D3WAYS

Sure, but the old kit, while very good, wasn't perfect in a number of ways. Here's hoping this one is an improvement.

Steve B in Vega

Spot on in my opinion, and I think that market is bigger than most think. I'm looking forward to getting my mittens on one of these for rock racing. Tekno quality and toughness is much appreciated in our world.

do you have any build threads showing your rock racer conversion? I thought most rock racers were solid axle but I guess not.

We have the Lasernut U4 build here on our website: https://www.mojavevalleyrcadventures...sernut-u4.html

Here is our front IFS / Rear Solid: https://www.mojavevalleyrcadventures...ammer-rey.html


Rock Racing ( overall ) has three suspension classes. Solid axles ( Bomber / Ryft ), Independent front / solid rear ( Hammer Rey, Rock Rey ) and IFS ( Lasernut U4 ). Depending on the club or organization, they will run them together in some combination. We run them in different classes because of the performance difference on our track. It's also fun to have a build from each class so you can experience ( either hate or love it ) the different driving styles. I build a DB48 based on the Tekno SCT 410, and while I loved so many handling characteristics about it, the rocks getting stuck in the spur gear was maddening. I could not do more than a single lap without this issue. I must have wrecked a half-dozen spur gears before I threw in the towel. Around that time Losi released the Lasernut U4, and I never looked back. Of course it's not a Tekno, but it handles the abuse quite well.

Here is the build list from Tekno: https://www.teknorc.com/faq/
