Tekno RC SCT410.3 Thread

I was just looking at some of the filled setup sheets on the Tekno website and I noticed that some drivers are running 15-15-10 diff oils and other guys are running as low as 7-7-5 and 7-5-3. Seems like such a drastic change. I know that everybody has their own driving style but these numbers seem extremely different. I have been running AE 7-7-5 and but I am somewhat new and I still learning. Why are some guys running so thick and others running so thin? same goes for shock oil and springs. some guys run blacks on the rear and other run yellow rear. again, seems like a big change. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!!

All depends on the track type and drivers needs/wants. I figured out a while back that I aint Lutz or many of the others, I can't drive his setups for shit! Also depends on what brand oils your using, I made the switch to PTRC and as discussed earlier it does feel lighter then say AE oils so that plays a part as well. Try things/ test things figure out what "you" like, all the good info that is shared here is great and may get you close but no one's "setup" is going to be what you need more than likely. The more you work on your stuff and test things the more you will be able to adapt to changing tracks/layouts/seasons.

B block was on upside down. Put the drive shaft where it's supposed to be and now I have steering. If it handled pretty good wrong I can't wait to run it a gun now lol

I'm a bizarre one, I run 7-7-5 everywhere but have really stiff suspension. Works for me though.

7-7-5 diffs.
I like 40wt front and 35 rear, pink springs all around.
I needed some more I might go with black fronts.
Only on something stupid loose would I consider downing to green or yellow rears.
Truck stays on rails, with awesome pack coming down from a jump.
Seems much easier to maintain powering through rough sections,without aggressive roll going high speed into a turn as well.
Feel a lot like a 8th buggy to me, much much more stable and predictable than my little shock SCTE 2.0

Maybe not as much as you think, I do the exact same thing.

Josh's 2901 post is spot on, although I was never able to get my Losi to handle in the tight sections as well as my Tekno. There are not too many classes where you can say that one manufacturer is hands down the best and I believe this is one of them. If Tekno started making some other 1/10th vehicles I would be seriously tempted to look at them.

If you don't mind spending a lot and spending a load of time learning a new chassis, the losi will suit you fine.

Good write up. Do you experience any rear end traction issues with your 410.3? To be more specific, do you feel you have to be more cautious with the 410.3 vs the SCTE 2.0 to prevent the rear end from breaking loose. I have been observing lots of SCTE drivers and I even let one drive mine, and they noticed that they have to go slower around sweeping, lower traction, non banked turns to prevent the rear end from spinning out. I watch some of the SCTE's and they seem like they just pull forward harder in lower traction scenarios vs the Tekno. I have 2 410.3 trucks and I do love them. I'm always playing with set ups and working on my driving style. Just was not sure if you had any thoughts on that.

So if you are a driver that likes to drift around corners, thicker oils help with that?
