Tekno SCT410 Thread

so i'm almost done getting to this setup. USPS screwed me on the grey HB springs, so i put on a set of RC8.2 silver fronts. i couldn't find a rating for those HB springs, but the RC8's are 4.3 which are very close to our formerly beloved black front SCTE springs. the suspension feels really good on the bench. the RC8 front springs might be a bit too long as i might have a problem getting the right ride height. didn't mess with that yet. but i think kevin has nailed the piston/oil combo. feels really good (i used AE instead of losi). i'll get to test it out sunday on our newly re-done outdoor track.

I should have the setup pretty nailed this weekend.

Try the 4000kv SC PRO combo, unless you have a VERY large track. On a 115 foot straight a 12 pinion is the largest you should run in my opinion, the 4000kv set up is pleanty with a 15 pinion. The front wheels balloon like crazy going down the front straight.

Btw i ran it on a loose 8th scale outdoor track and i can say the stock setup works VERY well, i'd say it's about 95% dialed for my tastes.

I've been running the AE Silver fronts for almost as long as I've had the 410.
What I did to ensure proper ride height was to also use AE spring perch. It fits loosely on the Tekno rod end, but I have had no problems with it.

I'm running the HW SCT PRO and HW 4000kv combo on a mid sized outdoor track and find it has plenty of power. Running the 16 tooth pinion with the punch turned all the way down it still has enough bottom end to break the wheels loose at any time. The track is hard packed with a good bit of dust on top so I tried a 17t pinion to try and calm down the low end and it helped a bit.
Unless you have a high traction surface to run on I doubt any more power is going to be your friend.

Sounds good Tim. The HB springs are 4.2 so you should be fine. Hopefully you can get the ride height down where you need it. I'm packing right now to head out tomorrow with the same setup except I went to 7/5/3 diff oils. I also got some losi red fronts which are 4.1 to try and losi silver rears which are 2.8
I should have the setup pretty nailed this weekend.

If by 3.9 = F and 4.3 = R, then 3.9. I am running what I believe to be Agama Silver Rs on the R. If there are two AE Silver Fs, at those two ratings, I honestly don't know, other than to say they would be what comes stock with the 8.2 series buggies.
