1. Battery may have the same weight, it is about 320g,
2. Motor is not 550 but 540, this saves 95g
3. milled out the shock towers, but they become to weak, rear one is bend already
4. until now, Titanium hinge pins are not in use, rest is Titanium
5. did not used the rear brace the last race, thanks for reminding me to put it in for this weekend (carpet indoor), maybe +25g
6. milled out plastic under the battery tray
7. Hazard wheels and Schumacher tires and inserts are very light...
8. the scale is not proven...
Next ideas:
1. titanium hinge pins
2. front driveshaft made of carbon fibre

Are you saying you tried the 9372 direct, or the older one?

has anyone seen someone with an RX8 esc with this rearward location? Looks like I'd have to move the receiver box over to the driver side and put the esc on the passenger side. There's no room for the RX8 to fit down in the chassis on that driver side rear spot...I think

Ok very stupid question, can someone point out to me the location of explanations for all of the different a,b,c,d block insert combinations?
I can see some of the info on the base setup sheet at the bottom left.
I can also deduce the simple ones with a single pin location.. just looking for a master descriptor with some explanations of what is going on.
Help appreciated. FYI - wheels wont fit. not pro line, not jconcepts, not losi, and not DE racing - unless you remove the washers from the steering end link now it does not hit but my bump steer is off and the end of the link is too low now and i'm getting some extra bump steer.

On the steering link screw at the wheels, I run a button head screw. Also, the washers up top (between the steering link and top of the screw serve as washers holders. The don't change bump until you place them between the spindle and the link.

I just ordered my first 410.3 and Tekin HD 4300 with RX8 G2. I run medium-size (140ft straight) 1/8 clay tracks with plenty of doubles and triples. Can anyone give me some recommended initial mods, set-up, tuning ideas? I've been racing a ProSC 4x4 with stock motor and ESC (no timing adjustments, etc.) This is going to be an entirely new learning curve.
The ProSC is lighter than the Tekno and prefers very soft suspension (3 lbs springs & 20wt oil, 28/26mm ride height, super soft Hole Shot tires) to get around the turns. I know the key at these tracks is "soft" for the Tekno, too, but there is sooo much more tuning on the 410.3, I need a point in the right direction.
Thanks.

How did you have the servo ground wire setup? Going to battery or receiver?

Truck did very good at the race today (Saturday). One nagging issue near end of a qualifier and the main, the speed control peeled its way out and ripped off the sensor then just kinda dangled there. brand new blue double sided tape on the back of my Novak Activ8 V2.
That's a heavy beast of an ESC I have heard two things.
1. Kyosho vibration damping sheet "Zeal" - this looked about 6mm thick, super heavy, and $15 bucks. I don't want to make the over weight spot on the truck even more over weight. its also only just as sticky as its built in adhesion layer.
2. super duper double sided tape with red backing Its supposed to be far superior than the light blue backing tape.
3. Mechanical method?
Help appreciated.

Clean both surfaces with denatured alcohol and use the clear Parma tape (red backing). I've never had anything pop off with this stuff including my heavy Viper VTX8 in my old SCT410. If your still nervous, add a zip tie around the esc and platform or Shoe Goo it right to the esc platform.

Servo at 7,4v
Had a phone call to the hitec distributor and service in Germany. He told me to try this. I connected the ground wire of the servo to the battery and to the reciver. Nothing changed. My servo was a HITEC HSB 9475 SH. The problem is not the servo, (i tested Futaba too) it might be the voltage drop of the fully loaded battery during hard full throttle pitch. With battery noticeable emptyer, this does not ocour.
