Hum yea but the scte 2.0 is lighter and a 1/10 scale really compared to this truck which is based off a 1/8 scale and heavyer .

The Rear traction might have something to do with less weight toward the rear . Jumping wise thats a spring thing/oil/pistons and how you hit the jumps. I know i added 1.3 xray 8 hole pistons on the rear shocks with 30w/Pink springs and 32w Front /1.2 pistons . The nosedive was not real bad still did it at times though .

I know when i raced the 1.0 SCTE even with the flex chassis it would nosedive not real bad though . The MIP conversion took out that problem .

SMC 7200 race formula $65. great batteries best I found period. Paid a lot more for crappier batts. These SMC's rock!!! http://smc-racing.net/

Sweet!!

You did an excellent job on your kit, it looks awesome! Good luck with it!!!!!! I ordered the same chassis, can't wait to see how that works out for me....

If you are looking for rear bite this is gonna give it to you for sure. Let us know how it go's

As a matter of fact they do make a kit

Need some advice. I have a stock Tekno SC410 with a Hobbywing SCT combo which includes the 4700KV motor. I am using a 16 tooth pinion and 7200 mah new batteries from SMC. This past Saturday at the races my car stopped after about four minutes. About thirty seconds later is went again. The same thing happened in the main, but more frequently as we race for ten minutes. My battery voltage after the ten minute main (I ran for about 7 minutes) was 7.53 volts. I did not take the voltage after the second qualifier, but it would surely be higher than 7.53 volts due less run time. I temped the motor after the qualifier and the main and it was approx. 120 degrees both times. Should I go down one tooth on the pinion gear to a 15 tooth? Should I get a higher mah amp battery? Should I get a fan for the motor? Is there anything I can do to the esc settings? FYI I have been playing with the ESC drag brake setting.... if memory serves I have it at 40 or 30 with the programming card...Everything else is pretty standard. I was thinking of taking off the rear bumper to save weight. No nose dive issues for me.... Please advise.

Seen a bunch of discussions about that with the HW bec kicking in too early, try set your lvc at 2.9 or 3.0 volts per cell. It will stop way before that.
Same motor and lipo, I run 15 to 16 tooth.
Drag brake hurts not helps the lipo drain but you have enough battery for it for sure... just saying.

Thanks for the quick reply. I will set the Lvc first... change the pinion second.. and reduce the drag brake third.... 4th if needed is to remove the rear bumper.... 5th is to reduce the motor wires as they are too long..(slightly less efficient but probably not critical)...

Set it to 3.0 v on cutoff on the HW esc . You can turn it off also do reset it also .

That should Slove it I had the same issue but with a tenshock .

Good tires and lower punch. Watch out that your not spinning rear wheels. Grey rear springs +1.5 rear hingepin holder with double dot outside. Lower rear inner camber link. Heavier rear diff fluid reduces wheelspin but affects lowspeed turning. Quick way to check if it's wheelspin is to put throttle expo to -30 to get the edge off at launch.
Try one at a time and have fun!

If you have it otherwise stock then your in trouble. Use 0 timing punch 0-3, pinion 13-15. No drag brake. 4-poles have too much drag already by design. LVC 3.0 or when racing 2.8. Brake EPA at 60 something after calibration.

I'm placing an A Main order is anyone breaking the captured rod ends? They don't stock Tekno where I race and I drive 2hrs so I don't want to have to come home early over 6 bucks.

I run the 4700 & SCTPro 120A and using 16T pinion and no issues all last summer on large 1/8 tracks. I run the ESC stock settings, other then I turn the Lipo Cutoff "OFF" cause it seems to be set higher then most, even when turned down. Yes I know I shouldn't run it that way, but oh well it has been working fine that way for almost 2yrs.

Lower the LVC you will be fine. And maybe take some of that DB out.
