Yep, a buddy changed from sct-pro to RX8.2 with the 4700, he was having issues making warmup laps and the main. Not after he changed to the Tekin, cooler, more run time, more power.
220 amps, no fuss software, not cheap... but the best ESC for 2s SCT.
Others will work, just not as well

you mean put them in the outdrives at the ends of each center drive shaft? I thought the noise was mainly from the pinion and spur? Either way ill try the oring method but man my truck just gets louder and louder and sounds like somethings wrong and ive maintained and replaced religiously since i got it a year ago. It seemed to get better when i installed the straight cut gears.

I did a while ago, but shock orings from my Mugen that were laying around.
Was pm'ing with someone about stuff and noise was one issue and I suggested the same as I did. He didn't have spare shock orings... but plenty of the up travel limiting orings from this kit and said it worked great.
later when I had the truck apart I pulled the Mugen orings and used the thicker Tekno ones and it filled the gap a little better and made it even quieter. Truck used to sound like a chainsaw

Need your help guys. My tekno sct410 is the way. What is the best motor combo for tekno sct410. I was thinking Tekin ProHD 4300KV with RX8 Gen 2 or HW Xerun 3656SD 4700KV with ESC Xenun V3.1. I can't decide yet need your suggestion thanks. Kindly appreciated

I found it much easier to build bladder-style with the Alu caps. Not sure why it's any different than drilling out the holes on the plastic, but can bleed them with no rebound on the first try every time.

The aluminum cap is a vent style cap. It has a vent hole at the top of the cap. That is probably why you can no rebound everytime.

Anybody have any opinions of MMP versus Hobbywing SCT Pro? I'm thinking of finally replacing my Castle 3800 with a Hobbywing 4000 and am wondering if I should save a few bucks and run the HW with the MMP or get the HW package with SCT Pro and tuner box. I'm hoping the HW is a lot smoother than the Castle!!! Thoughts?

Love my HW stuff, but Tekin did go a few extra miles in fore-thoughts. I just wish Tekin's Hotwire software interface was more Windows like, like HW is.

yup, first one

Heres the jist of what i did. the rubber that goes along the side of battery tray is from a rubber pipe couple i picked home from home depot and cut off and glued in. put a big enough foam in rear to keep well away from diff.
I will keep updating it as information becomes available. Thanks.[/QUOTE]
Can somebody tell me where can I buy the carbon fiber air guards.

Contrary to that, I have been running a Castle MMP w/external BEC paired with a Tekin PRO4 HD 4300. It has explosive torque and speed that is beyond the scope of racing without tuning it down (with a 21t pinion I had way too much top end and more than enough torque. I replaced it with a 15t pinion and still have more than enough speed for the longest straight and I have been slowly molding my torque curve to a controllable level.) We actually were just discussing this as it is a new application for me in the Tekno. I have been using this ESC with various combo's since I reentered the hobby and have had a lot of luck with them. I have three MMPs and they are all working flawlessly and efficiently.
edit: You are going to find opinions on this matter all day. Just have to choose what option is right for you. I would start with the most cost effective option and bump it up if necessary. Not sure if you have more than one kit, but I usually try to purchase my electronics so that if it does not work in my primary racer, I just upgrade my non-race kits.

From that perspective, that is probably why I personally felt for racing the Tekin 4300HD motor and the 3656SD 4000Kv motor i use now were very comparable for racing and decided to keep the HW motors.
Main thing i would look at personally is:
- Your budget, if any
- Features you want from the ESC
- Features you want from the motor
All in all one thing that to me that I found important is was a waterproof ESC with high voltage BEC. Viper VTX8 fit my bill, but since its sensored only, it may not be for everyone.
On the cheap, I have to say the speed passion GT2.0 Pro ESC with the HW motors worked very well, and it could also drive the Tekin 4300Hd motor too. Just have to turn that DRRS down a lot.

Now I see some advantages. (1) RX8 is 220 amp continuous, SCT Pro is 120 amp continuous (2) Via the Hotire, you can control your voltage to your servo. Unfortunately, HW software does not give that option. (3) RX8 is very easy to pit tune. The Mode and Increment buttons with the LED are a great touch.
Love my HW stuff, but Tekin did go a few extra miles in fore-thoughts. I just wish Tekin's Hotwire software interface was more Windows like, like HW is.

RX8G2 and the Hobbywing 3656sd 4700kv best combo I have ever run. I have all the torque and top end that I could ever want and the thing runs great temp. wise never put a temp gun I use the finger burning its too hot method and its never let me down. Save a couple bucks go with the SCT Pro ESC but if you want the whole enchilada go with the RX8G2, I like enchilada's.

If you have an android phone or tablet, tuning just go easier. Plug your phone/tablet into the hotwire and the Hotwire app launches automatically and you are tuning faster than you can get the buttons into pit tune mode. You also have the fine tuning steps of hotwire where pit tune is big steps between settings like current limit and other stuff.

Last time I did it 3/4 shocks went well with maybe a tiny bit of rebound, but with the last one every time I got to the last few threads tightened on the cap the shaft would extend about a quarter inch. Even if held the shaft in place the whole time, soon as I let got it would pop out a bit.
