Yea i was wondering if the RC8 droop screws would fit also if there the same leagth and size as the Tekno droop. Screws i think they would be fine travel wise .

I fliped my around because it was digging into the chassis to much . Im thinking of making a slot into the top of the droop screws. so its much easier to adjust like the RC8 ones.

Then associated makes a droop screw which like Chuck said has a hex in both ends so you can have the button side of the head hitting the chassis but still make adjustments from the top.

The head is probably going to limit doop too much on the Tekno though. Haven't tried myself.


Mine is barely warn after a few months of driving though, I would just run it and keep an eye on it.
The mugen droop screws are a great fit I have been running them for a while now and have a hex adjuster on both sides I picked up a pack of 5 for 4.59 on amain site

When I had the OG screw as long as I made sure to set the mesh right and had the motor straight with a little
blue losi thread lock and it held up way better.
Just to be clear I am talking about the mesh adjustment screws one on top of the mount and the other is underneath accessed through the slot in the chassis, even if I get them real tight and red loc-tite it will still give on impact and the screws don't come loose either the motor and half of the mount moves.
UPDATE
after a bit of reading on the eb48 thread I found that the buggy guys are saying the motor mount has been updated to fix the problem, for us the motor only moves but the buggy guys were breaking some of the motor mounts,

Hope to see a new one at the track to see how much they tightened up the mount. There's a big tolerance between the two parts and that needed to get tightened up. Probably not going to spend the coin though before I can put an eye on it.

Yeah thats the same screw I am speaking of. No matter what I do with thread loc or whatever since I changed the screw out to a socket head type it just wont stay after a few big @$$ jumps and landing funky so I am going to switch back to the normal button head at least then it was once every week or two.

you can see the difference between the tkr5210 and the tkr5210x on the tekno site, my mount resembles the 5210x which is the lightened version, maybe all sct410's came with the lightened version? the 5210 is not open at the end and does not have the thin little rail guides. i have an email in to tekno about this because its driving me nuts LOL I hate the sound when it moves and the meshis at an angle, it seems to wear out more each time it moves too which would explain why yours is getting worse chucktee, i will post the reply from tekno for you guys when they get back to me.

I think the thing that would really fix that is the ethier the Alum center diff mount piece or the Alum long center driveshaft.

My sct410 that I bought 4 days ago has the TKR5210 version of the mount (the non-open one). However the manual picture depicts the 5210X version. Maybe this was a recent change.

Normally I would agree with Cain but my last 2 Promatch 7200mah packs blew up on me. I mean they expanded to the point it was a problem. But I used one today in an endurance race at my home track and it didn't come completely apart, still had strong power. But I had to duct tape a few of them together.

I know I could complain to ProMatch but that's not the way I roll. If a product doesn't work for me I just don't buy any more, I'd rather do that than bitch about minor bullshit. I'm not saying PM batteries are bad I'm not have great luck with them. Been down the same road with women too!!!! I'm such a funny guy! All my X wives thought I was hilarious!
