Nice paint scheme how much time does it take start to finish to do a layout like that?

2731-03 or 2731-01 the first# is black/red ring and the second# is chrome/black ring.

New truck and going with a new power system. What motors are you guys running with the Viper VTX8?

Tracks will be from mid to large outdoors with med/high bite.

I just don't want to get killed in the slower parts of the tracks, but be able to move out when needed!

I run the Viper XL 4.5 550 can with my VTX8 in my sct410, for medium to large tracks start with a 14t pinion and check temps.

Hexes?
 
I thought I saw it in here but I can't find it now, can somebody tell me what 12mm metal hexes work on the SCT 410? Part #s too please. :confused:

Droop controls weight transfer. More droop the truck will land jumps better but can feel lazy in transitions. Less droop the opposite and will traction roll less.

Droop has an effect on how far the arms travel downward. Droop can aid the car's overall traction, due to increased weight transfer. The downside to too much droop is that the car can feel sluggish and doesn't jump as well. Additionally, droop has an effect on bump handling.

Generally speaking, if you are running on a smooth, high bite track with minimal bumps, you will want less droop, and the opposite for low bite bumpy tracks.

Droop is a huge adjustment that can have a major effect on how the car works. It doesn't take much adjustment of the droop screws to feel a difference.

One last thing, when adjusting droop, be sure to reset your ride height.

Good day guys, just some information to share with you, be very careful when choosing the correct 12mm metal wheels adapter! I am browsing through some Chinese forum and came across a really bizzard case, when one of the SCT-410 owner broke a rear CVD axle right where the screws start. Upon detail inspection on his post, I believe it's a too wide adapter, combine with a wrong off-set wheels (Slash?) and a super strong tighten hand that cause that.

I have been running the EB-48 right from the beginning and I am confidence Tekno's product will not fail in this manners, and I sure do hope some of those guys admit there are some wrong doing on their own behalf, rather then blaming Tekno! But Daniel, it may be a good idea to mention what (off-set)rims are suppose to use for the SCT-410, cause I am not sure you have mention this on the manual?

Besides, I have put up a detail write up on the building of the SCT-410, just like what I did for the EB-48. Although the language may be alien, but I hope you guys do enjoy reading/looking at the pictures!

Also attach my finished SCT-410, now just waiting for its maiden run!

I took the truck to a medium sized high bite track last night for a race 1 qual/main. I got 3 practice runs in.

Practice 1: Huge difference in the steering response from my local medium bite outdoor track. Rear slide out in turns too much causing over-steer. Started with Blue JC 3d's and switched to Gold JC Bar Codes half way through. Wanted to traction roll a couple times. Still had way too much front traction. Stock setup minus center/rear braces, and hubs all the way back. Revtech 4800kv 4-pole, 15/44, 65 current limit, came off at 196° after 6 minutes.

Practice 2: Reduced front droop from 103mm to 100mm and rear droop from 123mm to 120mm, moved the hubs forward 2mm (thick spacer). Turned throttle EPA from a 100 down to 85. Used a little more throttle through the turns. Drove way better, dropped about a second+ a lap. Came off the track at 209°

Practice 3: Went back to 100 EPA and a 14t pinion. Only had a had time to try the truck for a few laps. Actually felt faster (low-end and top-end). Turned the EPA down to 95.

TQ'd the 6 minute qualifier came off at 156°.

Won the 7 minute main by 10 seconds and came off at 166°.

Everyone seemed very impressed with how it looked on the track and were convinced I must of done more to get it to handle like that.

I would would like to try maybe 7k or 10k in the center diff next time. My front tires were pretty much toast at the end of the night.

I haven't been doing this forever but would still suggest everyone at least try the box setup before you go changing everything when you build this truck.

Is anyone running the RX and esc up front? Is there really any advantage t using the RX box? My servo leads not near long enough and i can fit my sct-pro and futaba RX up front.

Cain 02-14-2013 10:41 AM

for you guys looking for 17mm wheels in bulk (general prices look good too for pairs), I noticed this:

$25.99 for 4 pairs sounds pretty good to me at least?

seen a pic of someone doing this and chopping down their mudguards.

was thinking about it myself in a way as the GT2.0 Pro is tiny, could then see about running the transponder up front somehow.

it doesn't come with the lightened outdrives, but what it does come with that the truck doesn't:

-machined towers
-aluminum shock caps
-aluminum shock cartridge bottoms
-aluminum hinge pin holders

that's what i can think of off the top.

Are the machines towers lighter ?

I'm running a VTX8 with a Reedy sonic 4.5 15t pinion. Love it
