Tekno RC SCT410.3 Thread

I use the Tekno wheel nuts which seem to have nice knurling and appear to be high quality. Never had a problem loosing a wheel or even a nut loosening. After a run all nuts are still secure. Had rounding issues when I had a SCTE as well. I think it may have to with the surface area of the hex on the axle and the mating hex in the wheel. Maybe I just crash too much and it stresses the wheel and when I get back on the gas, it can slip. Who knows? 17mm seems to be a good experiment.

The issue with wheels stripping might not be a hex size or even a nut tightness issue, but a nut QUALITY issue. I recently lost a wheel on a qualifier on my SCTE, re-tightening the heck out of it, and then lost the same wheel next heat. I switched out all my wheel nuts to Durango serrated nuts. Amazing quality, decent price. Never had a problem since.
Shame there is such a small market for 5mm versions like the tekno uses.

May have missed it but what is the low down on the "drilled extra row" on a few of the setup sheets out there from Ryan & Joe's setups.. I know they don't run these much... are there some really tuned setups for a hard packed w/ loom and a good base for clay?
Also has anyone tried the carbon eb48 towers the holes are slightly higher than the stock .3 positions.. would this give a mimic to the 'extra row'
Thanks,

What cutouts would you guys recommend for the jconcepts f250 body besides the spoiler to start with?

Quick question
I just purchased the 410.3 should be here next week, what are items you guys would suggest to upgrade immediately truck parts wise? I've been reading that the hexes are sensitive to over tightening is that something that I can upgrade? Just looking to make this thing as good as possible before I run into issues at the track.
Also I'm running a super high bite track what would be correct oil weights for my difs and in what order?
Any other suggestions would also be greatly appreciated, I don't know anything about shortcourse 4x4

The metallurgy hexes were over hardened on the first batch and had a tendency to crack when the setscrew was tightened down, all current kits should be fine.
For your diffs I'd try 10-10-7 , F-C-R. That's what I'm currently running in my SC and SL at my local indoor clay track.

IMO the only must haves is the alum servo horn and the upgraded aluminum wheel hex's. The aluminum A-B-C-D blocks are nice to have and I really think the CNC machined shock parts help in the smoothness of the shock package. Truck is a tank, doesn't need much and the wear is VERY good on everything from what I see. Stock kit setup is a decent place to start at for indoor high bite.
Servo horn is the only absolutely necessary upgrade you'll need. After that I'd get the aluminum A and C blocks. They're both great durability upgrades and the aluminum C block allows a lower RC and antisquat settings.
The metallurgy hexes were over hardened on the first batch and had a tendency to crack when the setscrew was tightened down, all current kits should be fine.

After building the kit,, the cnc shock insert package and a good 6 hole piston is first need, then just grab the eb48.3 alum hangers off ebay,, think I paid 35 for all four, but that can be hit or miss. The .3 kits come with aluminum hex's, not sure what that guy is talking about.. and aluminum servo horns are a given.. in any vehicle.
Hey guys I really appreciate the feedback. I don't want to get it all tricked out right away I just want to avoid any potential problem areas from the start. I've been reading through this thread and I saw the talk about the wheel hexes so that's why i asked about that. Just want the truck to be solid and steady as we have a pretty good shortcourse turnout at my local track-Coyote Hobbies. All and any info is highly appreciated thanks again

It's an (open source) home built 100 wat co2 laser cutter. Runs with g-code inputs and uses SVG files from any vector program. Capable of cutting upto 3/4 plywood or other materials except metal. But it can etch metal and anything really.
