Does it still have enough torque or bottom end with a 16t? Instant speed no need to build up.

Default Success story

Sharing some love...

Started RC racing in June at RCHQ in San Antonio. Great crowd with 20-30 racers Wed and Sat. Track is mid-size - VERY hot and generally pretty loose. My first SC is the Tekno (so I learned with it). I went from DFL to top 3 finishes in 2 months with this thing. I bent the stock rear tower at Thornhill a couple of weeks ago in 2nd qual... so DNF there, but nothing has bent or broken.

It nearly dances over the rough stuff and flies well. Slight nose down, but not like the problem mentioned here. I am running the TLR body, light weight driveline parts and chassis, RCShox DS pistons (30R/Red,35F/Green), stock positions, HW SCT-Pro/4Kva with 16t and 17MM hexes with Sweeps (have an EB48 too, and don't want to manage two types of tires).

Big Losi crowd, but I've made 2 converts...

It's a piece of cake to work on, and the community is strong and supportive.

Thanks guys/girls.

I have been reading over the thread for the last couple of days and have seen some very good info doing so, most of the questions I had were answered with a little searching. What I'm trying to say is you guys have some very good knowledge and it's good to see it being shared. Good job fellas. Hope I can help out whenever I can.

I'm hesitant on buying a sct410, don't want to buy one and have the .2 come out a week later. With that said has anyone heard anything about an sct410.2

I'm looking for Daniel's post but I believe he said the sct410.2 version won't be worked on until the NB48, NT48, and ET48 are out.

Found it.

"SCT410.2 hasn't been discussed yet, FYI. SC is a different market. We'll have to assess that after we get the nitro buggy, nitro truggy, and electric truggy out the door."

If it wasn't taken apart, then I was gonna ask you to post a video..

I've had a similar shock rebounding problem w/ the rear shocks on my 410. My issue was due flashing on the stock shock pistons & limiters inside of the shock bottom. Dirt build up on the rear hinge pin was also causing some binding. Tekno support also mentioned that it could be caused by a bent hinge pin but that wasn't the case in my 4x4

I spoke with Thomas about this and he said this is something they haven't discussed yet.

I was in the same boat as you but once I heard this I started on my kit right away.

So far so good with the build. I'm about half way done with the car.

12 pinion is way too small for this truck. People who drove Losi/AE typically have to go 2 pinion sizes larger to get the same results. For example, my Losi used a 14T @ 4600 and now use a 16T with the SCT410.

5/7/3 is a the starting setup and a good place to start. Eventually, you'll want to try 7f/7c/5r which is a very popular diff oil setup for this truck. I tend to like 10/10/5 more but it's fits my driving style.

I wouldn't be hesitant at all. I'm even tempted to get a second just to experiment with a super light version.

I think the .2 reflected some changes that needed to be made to that car like the new diffs, included with the SCT410. "What do I need to buy?" has been asked many times in this forum and the only answers you'll see are aluminum hexes and an aluminum steering horn. Anything else is just a setup piece to personalize the feel or something that you'd need if you were hitting posts at full speed.

Of course it wouldn't be fun if you couldn't bling the truck out with some aluminum and carbon pieces.

Not that I'd be the first to know but I haven't heard anything about a new truck.

Thanks for the info I will go with my 15T
