No word on a new truck, but then again you don't hear about a new version till it's a few weeks out.
Not much is needed for a .2, maybe the angled rear gear box and low cg motor mount... probably a couple revised parts I'm not thinking about but there is not a lot to put on a .2 that's not on the truck now.
Tekin rx8 rocks. Their HD motor is quick, so is hobbywings 3656 motor, either one is a good choice.
I would think that you could add whatever .2 truck parts come out for not a lot and enjoy the truck now.
Or wait some unknown amount of time and save $50... or whatever to upgrade to .2.
Just do it!

Oh, also, what would be a good battery for the sct410 for racing? Thx.

I would go with the 4700 kv as for lipos 6500 mah-7200 mah with a high c rating promatch and smc are good sources.

Oh yeah... add new +1mm thicker axle tips to the improvement list. I went through a stint were I broke a few axles in a couple months but haven't had an issue with them for a few months now. They did put out a new axle but not sure if they are packaging that with the new kits.

I use a Tekin RX8 G2 and the Hobbywing 3656 4000 KV motor. I hear it 18/44 for a technical carpet track and it is great. I use 15/44 on a dirt track and have been successful with those setups. I highly recommend the Tekin and Hobbywing setup.

I took it apart again and used another new gasket...this time used some black grease on the actual gasket. Right when the screws got tight a bit of oil and some of that black grease came off from the spot I mentioned earlier. Its really barely anything but...it seemed To not be leaking any more oil. I'm thinking I may need a new diff case.

Just about getting ready to get into the 4wd SCT class. I think I'm going to go with the Tekno 410. BUT, before I buy, I want to make sure that there's not a newer vision that's about the come out soon!
Also I was going to fit the truck with the RX8 Gen 2 ESC with the Pro4 HD 4300kv. Any adivise and thoughts woudl be much appreciated! Thanks.

As for batteries youll want as much MaH and C as you can get. Either the SMC 7200 70C, or the 6000 80C.

Oi Hoese....who was using an HD there last night??? Sam's 2 pole 550 would nearly hit the quad and my 4000 4 pole 540 at 70% was close too. These things all have too much power.

Mattocks has the HD, even he said it has too much low end, and the current limiter is at 60%

I always sand my diff cups and use 2 gaskets to keep the gears from being too tight from where I removed material. No leaks either.

I run the 4300hd with an 18t @ 30% current limit with no problems. Softens the bottom end out (less wheel spin) and temps between 155-175. Anything under 200 is fine with Tekin in 1/8 and pro4, tho they like to see their motors in the 160 range. Motor damage doesn't start till around 220 degrees. Just my 2 cents

Youre not really modifying the case, just making sure its still flat. After the screws have gone in it tends to mushroom the top of the hole because the screw is such a tight fit. You're not really taking so much off that you need a second gasket.

Tekno's thicker axle stubs
The clearance is very tight getting the tip through the rim. Which I am hoping helps keeps the rim from shaking loose.
Tekno's bigger matching lug nuts do have that nice knife like serrated back but are expensive. The TLR Losi aluminum nuts with the same knife serrated back actually became dull anyway. So I going back and trying the non serrated lugs again. Between the larger size and tight fit, spending extra to get the serrated back side might not be needed.
