R/C Tech Forums - Tekno SCT410 Thread

what front springs did u run with the 8x1.3? and what springs do u have on the back? have u tried the 8x1.4 yet. what mah battery did u run with that 4300 and how many mah do u think it ate or were u just practicing?

I'm currently running green springs in the front and red springs in the rear with 37.5 front and 32.5 rear oils. SRAMOS said he had good luck with yellows in the front, so I think I'll try those next. The majority of people here seem to think the 8x1.3 pistons are the ticket, so I went with them. No plans on running 8x1.4 yet.

I'm running Hobby People 5000mah 35C batteries right now with my voltage cutoff at 3.2v per cell. These batteries are way better than most people think. When I charge them up from 3.2v per cell I can put around 5600-5700 mah back into them. I can get about 12-14 mins of run time non stop with the 4300 HD. I was only getting about 10-12 mins with the pro4 4600kv. Don't worry, I'm investing in some SMC 7200 70C packs as soon as they get more in stock.

Good catches. I'll keep that in mind if I go to a roar event and pick up some 1s 12th scale packs for such a time.

I don't think that conversion 1/8 sc in your photo is Roar legal either, its a Mugen buggy correct?

Conversions are roar legal. Local series may not allow them, but as long as they meet all roar dimensions and specifications for 4wd sct, that are legal.

Sorry to go off topic... Love reading various vehicle threads and try to answer generic questions if possible.

It is legal to run, but its not a Mugen. Its a Caster which is based on the MBX5. Roar rules for 4wd used to be that it had to be a factory available kit, but a few people petitioned it. Personally I dont agree that they should be legal. Last year in our state series the rules clearly stated "No 17mm hubs allowed on vehicles". But since 3 of the members on our series committe are sponsored Mugen drivers, that rule went away once the MSC came out.

I thank that's a caster raptor. It comes in a box just like are tekno's . I run against one just about every other weekend I beat him he beats me. The more the merrier.

Wheel options-- Rubbing issue

Just got my new truck running last week after being gone from the hobby for twenty years. Very excited.

I built a track in my back yard to practice. Straight away is 105 ft. into a 90 degree left hand turn. It causes the inside of the wheel to rub on the drive hub. This caused my SCTE rim (drivers side rear) to literally drill out where the nut holds the wheel on. I'm not kidding.

Put a new wheel in there trimmed it back a lot and this time is stripped out, circular, the hex and the new wheel is shot.

I see Proline F11's and the AKA's are a good alternative however this is becoming an expensive experiment. The tire I reset on the new rim was glued on there extremely well the SECOND time because it was a little worse for wear. Now I have to purchase new wheels and tires.

Why are my rims moving that much to begin with and why are the tolerances so close?

Give my wallet a break and please make some recommendations.

Sound like a bad bearing or something. Do you have any pics?

so what is the final verdict on the tekno carbon towers? i picked up a set and am a little hesitant to put them on because some guys have said they snapped them off. the front 5mm seems pretty stout. but the rear 4mm tower has way more flex than the stock tower and i could see it being an issue. If you had them in your hand would you install them on your rig?

I destroyed the "aftermarket" CF towers the first weekend. I then got the Tekno ones and they have been bulletproof for months. No issues whatsoever despite a few hard crashes.

What's point worrying about being 'ROAR legal' running a 2 2s setup, if 75% of the people are running Pro4HD's in the first place?

Quick question guys.. My limiter is set at the what seems normal 35%.. I would like to clear the triple at my local track.. So if I turn up my limiter to say %50 would that give me enough punch to do it? My current set up is a 4300Pro4HD RX8Gen2 15T pinion.. SMC 6500 .. I've only seen one other short course make the triple all the e buggies and nitro 8th scale guys clear it with no problem if there not scared...
