I agree, e truggy is my favorite class!!! As much as I like racing my v4 d8t I'd buy a full on Tekno truggy in a heartbeat!!!

ENJOY

I DO like this truck a lot, but I will never understand why everyone keeps trying to make a 10th scale 4WD SCT as close to the 8th scale SCT as possible, without actually being an 8th scale SCT. Doesn't make sense to me. Why not just make an 8th scale and get it over with. I guarantee you that you'll put way more money into trying to get the 10th scale to perform and be as tough as the 8th scale SCT, than actually getting the 8th scale. I never really have to dump much money into my SC8, and it handles way better than the 10th scales I see at the track--and I hardly ever break anything. Only if the manufacturers would have simply made the 8th scales, there could be one from each company by now. Any manufacturer with a buggy and truggy could EASILY make an 8th scale SCT. Yall just don't know what yall are missing. My SC8 is my favorite RC to drive and race--hands down!!

OK--Rant over!

I still like this Tekno Truck though...:D....(ironically, because it's based on the 8th scale, of course...I would love to see a Tekno 8th SCT...:).....)

Hi all,

My first post on this forum.
I follow the EB48 Thread with a lot of attention and now the SCT410 thread with more attention.

And I would like contribute on these thread as I plan to buy the car.

I'm not gonna back on the composite parts i noticed that " quote teknorc :My truck currently has a lot of aluminum options,"

So I have some question for Monsieur Daniel LEWIS from FRANCE.

As the SCT410 used the same drivetrain as the EB48 did you test that :

Did you had made some bashing test, some street road test and some concrete skate park test? (as the car are made for 90%)

As the car is selling without bodyshell (I love the idee) I would like to know if during your test you noticed a difference betwen the differents bodyshells you used on the car handling?
And the flow tek made a difference on the SCT410?

Sorry if my American language isn't right.

Best regards

Slotmachine , please stack your pics on top of each other . When you set them up side by side like you have them it makes you have to scroll back and forth to see them and read the post after ...... Thanks for putting them up BTW ......

When the SC8E went out I thought it would happen...but it never did. That's why AE ended the production of the SC8E kit and moved to a RTR version.

Basing a 1/10 SCT on a 1/8 buggy is weird because it will handle just exactly the same. Like you said it would have been more logical to start from a longer truggy chassis and go the 1/8 route like the SC8E from the beginning. Tekno isn't responsible for that, other brands just missed the SC8E potential...

4x4 SCT aren't 1/10 scale anyway. The SCT410 will be great but I'm wondering where this category will go. If it's a 1/8 buggy with a 1/10 body I don't really see the point even if will be efficient on a track. Like Cain said the performances will be very similar with a 1/8 buggy. To me it just shows future 1/8 buggies will use smaller motors considering actual 4x4 SCT weight about the same. But finally I don't see them being two different categories, they're just too similar

Before I heard about Tekno I was condsidering a Team Durango SCT kit, but since I heard the news about the SCT410 and getting my EB48 I think I will just continue to wait for this...I like staying with companies Ive had good luck with, and so far so good with Tekno

I like how several of the SCT410 parts are "free" on the Tekno site:ha:

I tried to buy a whole bunch of spare parts, but no success:lol:

I think the buggy conversions are happening mostly as their size is close to the 1/10 sized bodies that are out today . I made several 1/8 buggy conversions 4-5 years ago using Slash bumpers and body mounts , bodies and they kicked major butt .

But people with Slash 4x4's and Hyper10SC or Jammin SCRT's all cried foul so I didnt race them with the 1/10 trucks , infact I never raced it at all cause nobody else had an 1/8 scale truck besides AE . And most racers wanted to run 2WD stock or Mod back then . It did get a lot of ooos and ahhhs when I ran it during practice though .

Seems like it just took the industry this long to catch up , not to mention most of the 1/8 buggies would be too heavy to run on 2s and 1/10 sized motors , even motors like the Tekin Pro4 and Castle 1410 .

Teknos buggy was built from the ground to be as light as possible while still having the toughness that 1/8 scale buggies are known for and while still being heavier than the other 1/10 scale 4x4SCT's its light enough to run the 1/10 systems .

While you might think they would handle the same as a 1/8 scale buggy , that added weight of the body , the bumpers hanging out , the smaller spongier tires all work to make the truck handle differently from the buggy IMO .

When you jump them the difference is even bigger , SCT's demand you think about getting big air , especially outdoors where wind plays a huge factor , much more than it does with a buggy .

You run 2WD SCT's , borrow a buddies 1/10 Stadium Truck and run it around for a while . Does it handle the same as a 1/10 2WD SCT ? Its based on it and is very similar ?

^^I agree...even with the small amount of knowledge I have right now, I can tell just from watching vids and races that even tho they are very similar they drive, handle and react very different. I love all racing like most of you guys, so I can see my race vehicle selection growing and growing....and hurting my wallet lol

Even though they share many parts, they handle differently. Mostly because of the body and the absence of a wing.

But there are a few other reasons - power and weight being the main two. Buggies are running on 4s with huge motors. SC is running on 2s with smaller motors. SC weighs less than the buggy, so the damping and spring rates are all different.

Then the SC has different arms (narrower), different hubs, steering blocks, link locations and spindle carriers. This makes the car handle differently as well.

So I see the viewpoint that they could be the same or similar, but in reality they are very different. The similarities that are there are to share parts and make more predictable setup changes.

bahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the explanation. I see the interest for now but I'm just wondering what the category will look like in a year or so looking at how fast it moves on.

Did you have the occasion to compare laptimes of an EB48 and a SCT410 on the same track with a classical setup (2S 4000kv and 4S 1900kv for example)?

Speaking from the driving could you be more precise on handling differences between both cars?

when will we see a pic of the truck and price ?
