Tekno SCT410 Thread
I've found that the truck is better in rougher sections, when the truck would normally bounce around, the emulsion setup helps to soak up small bumps. It also does a lot better at landing bigger jumps, it's great how well it packs for it handling so well over the little stuff. I've been great so far on 1/8th scale size outdoors.
The heat sink is the Novak one for their Havoc. I had to stretch it wider and cut a notch for the wires for it to fit on my Tenshock. It really pays off too, for a 10 min run it lowered motor temps by 15 degrees.

Last night I got some practice in at my new home track and finally got a handle on this truck. I have my setup dialed and it runs great. It took some time behind the wheel to get used to it but I think I'm gonna like this Tekno. Yup, like it alot.
Thanks for all the help guys.

Just wanted to let everyone know where I was on the 8x1.4 pistons. After some reading and some searching I have decided the the 8x1.4 pistons I bought will not be what I am looking for. I got some kyosho 8x1.3 and 8x1.2 pistons to try before I spend more money on the tekno pistons. I like my kits to have the lowest possible ride height, not bottom out but still plush. Right now my shocks are.......
Green tekno spring front
Yellow tekno spring rear
8x1.2 piston front and rear
Losi 35wt oil front
Losi 27.5wt oil rear
No preload on the springs
Standard bladder setup with no rebound
This is very close to what I'm trying to get at. I want to try 30wt in rear and 37.5wt in front but ran out of both. I will post back tomorrow when I get some more oil.

Give it a whirl.

lots of excitement with all the new wheelers coming out. *hint hint*
and don't worry about being labeled copycats for implementing a center diff.
pretty please?

I'm using the spc 6500 65c batteries for my sc10 4x4. I use a tekin pro 4 hd 4300 Kv and a tekin rx8 Gen 2. With no current limit. After about 2 months my battery is still in 100% brand new condition. The resistance is at about 0.5 mohm. The case has not deformed and the battery has never got above 110. I HIGHLY recommend spc lipos. They are a great price too.

Anyone try sealing the side vent hole on the shock caps with shoe goo or something similar?
I am thinking of trying the emulsion setup but have the side vent hole drilled like the top one. instead of buying new caps,wondering how well that would hold up to just fill the hole.
