Hi Everyone,

Just my.02$ on wheels....I use the AKA SCTE wheel...I know Pres uses the AKA SC10 wheel (this wheel is +1mm per side wider then the scte wheel)

I have driven with both wheels and find that I like the SCTE offset better for my driving style.

I'm getting back into R/C racing after more than 15 years away from it. The long run time and performance of LiPo batteries and brushless motors attracted me back. It's amazing how much has changed and how much has stayed the same.

When I saw the short course trucks in action, I was instantly in love! Great looks, realistic handling. I had to have one. I did my research (a lot of it in this thread) and decided I wanted a SCT410. There were a lot of factors in my decision, one of them being they are a local company. (I'm in San Diego county)

Last night, I was racing at SDRC Raceway for the first time in a long time (see above) and decided to bring my SCT410 with me to continue building with any free time I had at the track. I had a very minor issue with my build and went to talk to Daniel (Owner of Tekno) since he was there racing his SCT410 and EB48. Instead of giving me the advice I was looking for, he took the truck from me and proceeded to work on it himself. I felt bad about interrupting him during his time to prep his own race vehicles, but he would have none of it. About 15 minutes later he handed me back my truck and explained what he did to solve my issue. (More of an assembly issue than a quality issue)

I realize that not everyone has the luxury of racing at the same track as the owner of the company, but this level of commitment to customer service is something to be appreciated.

I plan on adding an EB48 to the stable as soon as I have knocked the 15+ years of rust off of the driver.

Thanks Daniel!!

So I just installed the aluminum screw kit and lightened chassis and I've hit my first problem

I noticed my ride height was a bit higher then normal. After a closer look it's because the tabs for the front droop screws are angled. I could probably use longer screws to fix that but because of the angle when you tighten them down it's starting to angle off the tabs. Any ideas?

Syldain-
You could try

Thread the button side in from the bottom. The screw end has a provision for a 2mm hex and you would make your adjustments with that, from the top.

I have not broken anything yet either. But, I did get a bunch of spares when I originally got the truck, some things that are just easy to lose.

Small set screws (for sway bars and differential couplers)
Small washers
Extra locknuts for shock towers and wheels
Rod ends
Inner hinge pins
Hinge pin braces
Front shock shafts

Haven't had to use anything except washers when a steering bolt backed out and I lost some.

Those look like it could work. I was also thinking about using some sort of nut and locktight.

If you look at the manual for the EB48, it shows the screws inserted into the arm from the bottom. You will just have to adjust from the bottom unless you get those AE droop screws.

Well we ALWAYS have a 4x4 class. We had 17 drivers last week between Sportsman and Expert. We were missing a few though due to races at the fairground. Usually around 20 4x4's.

There's about 6-7 Tekno's out here right now.

Guys have a weird problem, was out in front of the house testing a different motor and developed a weird clicking noise.
It happened after I power slid into the front lawn at full speed?? I have the motor/tranny out and it seems to spin smooth.
The stub axles were my first guess and they are fine. Don't know where else to look.

Thanks

Just a couple guesses. possibly a rock hit the spur gear and nicked it?
otherwise try holding the front tires and giving it throttle, does the clicking sound persist... try again holding the rears.... or left vs right, should be able to locate it
