Its just not a popular class out here now and getting worse. When I live in California it was big at most tracks in Southern California, not so much up north. Here in AZ its completely dead. From talking with a lot of people here its not a welcomes class because of the slash 4x4 and a few other trucks that bring in new people that have no business driving one. Ive heard people were tearing up tracks, causing a bash fest and hurting marshals, but I find that a poor excuse and think its more of a they say its dead so people dont get em to run now here.
I will agree with one thing though, and thats Why beginners are so attracted to the fastest heaviest 1/10th vehicles on the market.

Its crazy its different everywhere u go. Back in Pa I use to run 2wd stadium truck T4.1 then everyone started running 4wd SCT but 2wd stadium was still a class it just shrunk, 4wd SCT was our biggest class though, now a yr ago I moved to Texas and no stadium truck class at all, 4wd SCT is the biggest class where I run 2wd SCT barely ever runs not enough show up. And at another track I wanna start running at its 4wd SCT and 1/8 4wd E Buggy. So I just bought a sct410 in process of ordering parts and putting it together and the 22SCT I bought and put a ton of money into sits on the shelf

Yeah, I meant hex. Sorry. Anyway they alum. hex seems to be the ticket along with the shims.
Now that everything is running the crappy servo horn is stripped.
You know when I bought my first AE car over twenty years ago nearly everything worked forever. The only reason you had to upgrade was to put the car on a diet.
The servo horn and the hexes should have come aluminum with the car, period. These trucks are too heavy and large to come with the poop they designed them with. Also the shims may have helped in this case too.
Someone needs to warn people that if they intend to purchase this car everything on the first page from and upgrade perspective is a foregone conclusion. Car + $100 in mods to really make it a usable product for off road.
I've seen this program before. Car dealers sell you a car at nearly cost then make all their money in the service and parts department.
A kit that works and is durable out of the box would have been something to get excited about. Eventually after I spend a butt load this will be the ultimate SC Truck.
Back to hobby shop to spend another $20.00 tomorrow. Getting old.

With the horn and the wheel hex's its probably still cheaper than the scte 2.0.
Probably not a bad idea to bump the price a little and include the required parts still staying inline with the competitions price.
Especially now that Tekno make both of them
By the way, Tekno... when are you going to make aluminum 17mm hex's so I can buy one of these?!

on the wheel topic, i still havent found a perfect wheel. the avid were so close. i bought 8 of the avid sabertooths and dyed them hot pink. They look killer and the glue groove is a tad wider than all wheels i have used which makes gluing up tires much easier. but the inside part of the wheel is super flexy and basically on the 4 that im running now they are all out of round and it sort of makes them wobble a little. i guess its probably not the biggest deal in the world but if they were a little heavier duty on the inside (3" part) these would hands down be the best wheel on the market.

If they sold it with an aluminum servo horn then they would have to include 3 different ones for different brand servos, you would spend more than if you just bought the one you wanted. The plastic hexes are fine IMO just a PITA when you take the wheels off because you will probably lose a pin.

Your observation is spot on. In researching wheels I have found no one wheel universally accepted. Too much webbing...too flimsy...fitment is off...
Tekno, a wheel worthy of the rest of your design would be helpful. Til then we compromise.

SMR, good point.
The stock hexes are horrible. Situation further made worse cause they didn't include shims, which would help and cost nothing.
BTW, if I can get a servo horn rigged tomorrow I am going to race a friend with his losi. I have representing my choice of truck is the right one and can't wait to rip him.

As for the plastic hexes, drill a hole and put a set screw in there and you are golden.
I agree though that it would be nice if the alloy hexes were included by default. Who knows, maybe when a revision of the sct410 comes out it will be included?

) and your local track doesn't care.@SMR
Good point, horns would not make sense.
