By using the outer holes, the piston speed increases because the leverage angle changes on the shock. This makes the smaller 8 hole shock have too much pack in high speed sections. You would have to run a lighter oil to achieve the same dampening effect. The larger holes allow more oil to pass through, but maintain just enough pack in the shock. It is more suited to outdoor or tracks that can get rough.

Stock front setup, Green rears and AE 27.5 oil. You can really change flight attitude with how you approach the jump. Ive found that if its kicking over on a jump, I can roll the throttle to the jump, and as soon as the truck leaves the ground just blip it to full. Usually hitting the jump at full speed is just too much. One tip I can give you on the collars, take an xacto blade and rough up the threads a bit. Get the plastic to fray and it will cause it to bind up a bit more.

I have the stock pistons in both my Eb48sl and my 410.3, I run on medium to high bite indoor clay and both are working pretty good. Do you feel the stock pistons are most likely the best choice for indoor high bite or would you play with something else?

Okay. I'm running pinks all around, 400f/300r and 10x1.2 pistons. Running greens all around 350-400f/300r and 6x1.5 using outside holes on the arms should be a better setup? Softer at low speeds and small/rough sections, but enough pack for the big jumps.

Pink isn't stock. Stock is Green front/Black Rear.
Pink is one stiffer than Black. And one softer than Green.

I've never had an issue with my collars moving at all. Mine definitely aren't loose.

You guys are saying "outside hole". That really doesn't say anything, unless you state where your shocks are mounted on the tower. Outside hole on the arm for one person, may be working great... But for somebody else it may not. It all depends on the inside tower mount in conjunction with the Arm hole.

If you feel the truck is good for you and the track you run on, no need to change. But if you like to play with settings by all means try a new set of pistons. You might find something you like better.

The bigger 6x pistons work best when you are having fast pistons speeds, but still require a soft low speed settings.

It does actually. If you keep the same tower location, going to the outer hole on tha arm will do 2 things. 1 it will make the shock feel like it has a firmer spring on it, not as much as going up to a higher spring rate, but has a firmer feel. 2 it increases your shock shaft/piston speed within the shock. This will increase pack iat all vehicle speeds. Tower location sets more hoe progressive the shock feel, like if they feel like they firm up a bit as the suspension compresses.

Didn't mess with it lately, been busy running the truck. I'm wanting to keep troubleshooting it, but don't have another car to plug it into. Not wanting to tear out mg tekin to check it.

Before the kit arrives does anyone have a screw list for the 410.3?

thanks

I don't have a list of the screws but if you look in the manual you can see all of the screws and where they go. If you're putting together an aluminum or titanium kit viewing the manual is the way to do it because you can decide which screws to keep steel (the high stress ones).

There is a list for the SCT410 (not the .3) but I haven't checked it against the new kit so there might be something extra or missing. I pulled it from the first post of the SCT410 thread-

From MattP-
I just made a list of all the screws, washers and nuts needed to convert a Tekno ride over to all aluminum screws. I listed the stock replacement Tekno screw part number first with details beside each. Only screws I did not list for an aluminum swap are the diff screws holding the ring/spur on to the diff. That's a high load bearing screw and steel is a better choice there.

Thank you, about to get some spare screws ordered.

Well i put pink front an back an used these for the bottom mounts TKR1240
For shocks ,an put a new aluminum horn on so we will see how it works

Hey guys, thought I would go on and post this short video. It was a practice day working on tightening the truck up for outdoors. Just changed to 6x1.5, stock front and green rear springs, 35/30 AE oil.

How did it feel? Were shocks in outer hole? Looked pretty good

Not sure on shock location at that time, I was moving things around a bit. The green springs took out some roll and kept the truck from hooking mid and corner exit. The pistons took some pack out and helped through the bumps. Haven't got to try it on larger jumps though.
