Have any of you tried the viper copperhead series of motors and speed controls?

I have only been into RC for about 6 months, started out with a Slash 4x4 like most people just playing around on the track on practice days, never good enough to race(atleast I thought) but then I got into reading forums and magazines and learned I was driving a Chevy, although reliable not fast, when I needed a Porsche to race and 4 months in I bought a Tekno SCT410 and been tuning a practicing with it for a month. I raced for the first time ever yesterday and took 3rd out of 12 in all qualifiers, 2nd AMain-1 and 3rd AMain-2. Either I'm just an awesome driver and didnt have the stones to race or the SCT410 is just plain legit, I'm going with the latter...
Still waiting on my EB48 I ordered a month ago, I'm betting its just as good on the track.

Keep in touch and have fun beating up on all those "other" brands out there!!!

May have to pull the trigger on this truck!
Other than the aluminum hexes and servo horn, what else do you guys recommend?
Stock pistons and springs work fine?

Stock pistons work OK, but the popular choice is Kyosho Pistons 1.3x8 (white)
Depending on your track and area stock springs may work. For me I thought they were too soft.
The choice spring rates seem to be 3.8-4.1 for the Fronts and 2.8 to 3.1 for the Rears.
The Wolter, Sramos and Rcgod setups so far seem to be fairly popular. You can find a link on the first page to setup sheets on Teknos site.

You will eventually want springs, I haven't switched pistons yet myself. Fantastic truck, you will love it!

I had a Durango 4x4 before but that truck was so nimble if I was slightly tapped I would get out of shape pretty quick.
Great truck and durable though.
Can't wait to try this truck out.

Well yesterday was the second time I got to race the SCT410 and wewh, each week I'm getting better.. I finally dropped in times from my typical 45sec average to about a 39 and my fast laps from being a 40 to a 34sec! I can only get better lol.. I would have taken 3rd in the Main but due to a solder issue I didn't finish the race.. Anyway I had a few questions for the group..
1st... How often do you guys break out the diffs and drain and refill your fluids? Also in regards to fluid how often do you drain and refill your shocks?
2nd... I would like to clear the triple section at our track.. Only one guy in the 4x4 has done it.. I know I have the power (4300kv Pro4HD RX8Gen2) I'm running a 15T pinion, so what adjustments would you make on the ESC or Radio?

I'd say it might depend on how you're hitting the jump. If you're accelerating up the jump, then up the current. If you're wide open and hitting it at full speed, I'd try a 16T. How hot is your motor getting?

With that HD motor your prolly spinning the tires the whole time. Those motors are brutal and grossly overpowered.

It was a pleasure getting to meet the Tekno team (Danny, Matt W., Matt A. and of course Austin Blair) at the 1/8 E Nats this past weekend. They are great guys and really take pride in their products and in this hobby we all love.
Austin's SCT410 was on rails! Of course the EB48 and ET48 were also. Danny said that his setup sheets from the event will be online in the near future. I can't wait to try out his setup that was put together specifically for my home track!!!
Thanks Danny and Tekno for all the support on the forums and this past weekend!

Man would love to see Blairs setup sheet, before this weekend if possible. I might be running on a similar track style.

Nice work man keep it up!
I generally entirely disassemble and rebuild my vehicles every two race weekends. If its longer than a week between races I rebuild them after every race.
Shocks- I always run shock boots, I clean them first and then I check the fluids- normally the oil is absolutely clean so if that's the case I'll leave the oil in it, top them off and then cap them.
The tighter your maintenance schedule the better the feel you have for the car and from my experience much less potential for DNFs.

Anyone use the Tunigy nano-tech 6600mah 60-150 batteries with the 4700kv HW?
