I haven't been doing it very long. There's a place in Troy NY rckinetics

I've heard of it, but haven't been there. You're not far from Full Throttle then either. Not sure what outdoor tracks are in your area though. Don't believe either of those places have an outdoor track. Outdoor season is almost here, and I know a bunch of the full throttle crew plan to hit RCM & Wolcott on a regular basis. I'll be going down to wolcott this weekend, they have their opener on Sunday. But will be practicing Saturday.

I haven't been to full throttle yet. Rckinetics does have a outdoor track. It's isn't huge but it looks like it will be pretty cool. They just started prepping it. There's another outdoor track in Fort plain , Florians world of rc, that I haven't been to yet. I think he has a oval track and is working on a off road track from what I understand. I'm gonna check it out pretty soon

Anybody have trouble adjusting front ride height below 25mm? I can't get mine to go any lower. I made sure my rod ends were tight, I eventually took the front end apart and cleaned everything good and reassembled making sure nothing was binding and everything was put together right, including the shocks. Still the same thing. Then I tried adjusting my droop the other day and couldn't get more than 104 and noticed the A-arms weren't even touching adjustment screws anymore and I was still only at 104. Once I disconnected the shock from the A-arm, it dropped down to the droop screw.

Whats the position on the shock tower? Also, what spring you running?

Matt1970

Shock is inner most hole on tower or maybe one out depending on track conditions. Using stock position on arm. I've been using green or pink spring up front.

I have an original SCT410 with a nose dive problem since I put a Tekin HD 4300KV motor in it. Don't remember this problem with the 4600KV motor but that was 3 years ago. I'm running a faily soft but balanced spring setup (Gray fronts and green rear springs). Battery is in the stock position, no drag brake. My Associated E-buggy jumps great on the same track. The drive train is really free but there seems to be a lot of drag when I let off the throttle. Any ideas of what I can do? PS I have a TeKin RX8 gen 2 ESC. About the only thing I haven't tried is not letting off the throttle at all going over jumps!

Your current springs are not going to allow you to achieve anything lower than what you are currently getting. (So, good news is its nothing that you are doing. )
Depending on your track conditions, you will have to go to a black spring or lighter to get those types of heights, unless you go crazy with your droop (try putting the button head on the bottom. Although, if you are running that stiff of a spring, that tells me that you have some jumps that you are not wanting to bottom out on. So, you may consider adjusting your RC or shock pistons to get the kind of cornering you're looking for.

Try pink springs up front, and red in the rear. I had that problem, and it was simply because the back of the truck was slapping the face of the jump, and going end over end. The red spring solved all problems ever since.

Thanks, I'm going up one spring rate F & R to Black and Yellow and see if that helps. BOSSROSS came up with the balanced spring setup I am using now and later he went to Black front Yellow rear springs. So I'll try that later setup and see if I can stop the nose dive.

Didn't know I needed a new rear sway bar for my conversion to 410.3. I see one site shows to use the truggy sway (TKR5491) which Tekno's site says will fit the SCT410.3, but then it also shows TKR5082 which is a different shape will fit the SCT410.3 as well. Which do I need?

The rear swaybar on the sct410.3 is the truggy shape, the front is the same shape as the old eb48/sct410 sways.

werner sline

can the front bumper be mounted on the rear end ?

John Wallace2

Thanks. I was actually using a Losi Red spring (mounted on the inner hole on the a arm) in the rear to approx the Tekno green spring. I replace the L red with the T green, rebalanced the oil, and it jumped much better. The Black/Yellow springs arrived but I didn't get them on the truck yet.
