this is on my EB48 but I assume it will be exactly the same on the 410.
here is the new gearbox, straight cut input gear and ring gear installed. You can clearly see the difference as there is almost no angle now.

Great more awesome parts I need to buy....
Hey guys, I'm fixing to do my Diffs and would like to know what all the indoor, high bite clay guys are running diff fluid wise. I'm currently run 7/10/5 f/m/r oils.....any insight would be awesome.
Thanks-

Got my Trinity sting packs today, 290$ bill for 2 batteries is ouchy! I am sure they are exceptional though.
Also swapped out to a new chassis too.

They won't let me post pictures or links yet. But it is very loose sand but firmer than beach sand which we went to yesterday and you would need paddle tires on that type. After a rain my proline trenchers work great. But when its dry I'm sliping and sliding with my slash. Tomorrow I should be getting my sct410 so I was wondering what kind of tires to get for it. Will the pin tires work OK on this type of sand or should I get the trenchers again? We are just a bunch of old men having a good time we only use cones so far for markers for the lanes and half of the time they don't know which direction to go. We have 2wd slashes 1 4wd slash and 2 4wd some off brand trucks but it fun.

Bernard, I am still using the composite hubs. Your hunch is the same as mine. I purchased aluminum hubs today thinking the same as you.
I have to say...I've now ruined two sets of rims. One set of tires. Had to purchase another set of hubs, tires and rims and have them shipped here over night due to deadlines. Total investment is nearing 1/3 of the value of the car and I've followed all the directions per Tekno's recommendations (using LOSI STE wheels.) I'm not real impressed so far. Not to mention the rear bearing sheared off its protective film to protect from debris.
I do believe many aspects of the truck are great however its beginning to affect my wallet and the fun factor significantly. For those of you with comments about the second reference to the wallet, I'm financially sound. This is out of principle.
One last thought....I did purchase DE Borrego wheels today. Anyone have advise on the need to trim them? Quality?
Thanks.

General Short Course question here.. Using two different types of tires.. What's your take? Is it stupid? are there positives to it? Would AKA cityblocks in the rear work well with handlebars up front? I don't know the science behind it all but I'm sure someone here does.. And I am also positive it will be a trial and error type of thing as well to figure out the best combo for my driving style but any input would be greatly appreciated!
@RockTheCatBox21 In reference to your "sorry to bust your bubble comment" the guy you were talking to is the prez of Tekno lol... I think he was just being "involved" which is a pretty cool thing if you ask me...Just sayin..

Aka rims ftw! DE rims are soft, losi rims are OK and so are JConcepts....
Handlebars in front and city block rears is an odd combo as they are for completely different track conditions......

Both on and off subject... I grabbed a half dozen pairs of avidrc.com (awesome bearings) of wheels from there and will beat them up a bit and see how they do. I will report back when I have some luck (or failures).

Tekno RC is proud to announce a new rear gearbox option for the EB48 and SCT410 (TKR5016B). This new gearbox is slightly angled upward to minimize the drive angles and increase efficiency. Furthermore, this helps to reduce wear on the driveshaft for increased longevity. New larger 5x13x4mm bearings also help to increase durability (TKRBB05134).
Tekno RC has released a new line of aluminum servo horns (TKR5251, TKR5252, TKR5253). These servo horn are the perfect fit for your steering servo in almost any vehicle and were designed to minimize stress on the servo spline. Utilizing a bottom mount design, these servo horns will keep your servos better protected - keeping you in the race. A locking screw is included for added security. CNC machined and gun metal anodized for wear, these servo horns will not strip out any time soon.
We've received many requests to offer the stub axles from our 17mm SCT410 hub adapters separately. We have answered the call and have released the stub axles in a package by themselves (TKR5580). These are used when converting your SCT410 to a lightweight 1/8th buggy (EB48SL). They are made from hardened steel and require the other parts in the TKR5570-17 17mm Hub Adapter set for use.
PART #: TKR5016B
DESC: Gearbox (rear, angled, 5x13x4mm bearing)
MSRP: $13.99
PART #: TKRBB05134
DESC: Ball Bearing (5x13x4mm, 4pcs)

PART #: TKR5251, TKR5252, TKR5253
