I made the mistake of completely covering the bottom of an RX8 with the 3M Outdoor (heavy duty) double sided tape! I thought I was going to break the esc tray on a MBX6E trying to get the RX8 off. I ended up using a hair dryer and warming up the tape enough so it would come off. I got it loose, but it made a mess with all that warm glue from the tape.
Now, I just cut about 1/4" to 3/8" wide strips and go along the outside edges of the esc. I've never had one fall off!
Just make sure you're cleaning the bottom of the esc, and whatever you're sticking the esc to, very well. I use either rubbing alcohol or denatured alcohol to clean the bottom of the esc and esc tray.

For anyone looking to shave some weight with aluminum screws, check out Fastener Express...They have regular and anodized selections in just about every size you would need...Anodized colors are blue, purple, red, and black for that stealth factory steel look...

To be honest idk how this thread has so many pages the truck is so well designed and executed that there's nothing to talk about lol. It never breaks or wears out or needs a bunch of parts to make it competitive. Anyways great job tekno on a great truck

Also, you could try a different setting on your toe-in block. I liked 3.5 for indoor carpet.

haha again a testament to the culture we have built in the Tekno threads. theres so many pages because people aren't afraid to ask questions and talk about something "off topic" once in a while without people reporting you to a moderator. SPeaking of, anyone been by the TLR 22 2.0 thread recently? some crazy shit

edit: forgot camber linksThe Tekno threads are just friendly. I occasionally peek back into the SC10 4x4 thread. I know some of you participate in there. wow.
I hope more 1/10 rides come sooner than later.

Agree 100%... I love my SCT410!

I think this thread is special in the sense that people take an honest assessment of the vehicle and provide that feedback without someone going cheerleader about the SCT410 and ignoring any potential issues found. The manufacturer also checks in and takes that advice to heart and runs with it. I love that about Tekno and its why when it came time to start my daughter in RC, I chose another SCT410 to go with for her.
Figure, might as well start her with quality

We are repetitive. Not much to talk about so its body, battery mod, carbon towers, oils, pistons, then repeat. edit: forgot camber links

Also when was the last time anyone has "broke" anything on their sct410? Me personally would be never, in almost 3 months of running 2x a week aand a race night. Lucky tuning really affects the way it drives and there is lots of stuff to tune.

yes I did, but they are not the correct ones. I just wanted to see if they made a difference. I should have stated that. I think I know the problem though. I almost hate to say it too. Lol. I think I put the black o rings limiters that go on the shock shaft in instead of the plastic spacers. I'll check it out tonight after work. I was working on a bunch of cars and had parts everywhere. Think I found the spacers. doh!

I won't name names but since Tekno is not AE he would never see this thread anyway.
