Welcome to the SCT410.3 Wiki!
7.26.17 - BB In order to run the recommended team setup, you need the following optional parts: TKR6106 Orange LF Springs TKR6114 Green LF Springs TKR6018 composite shock caps (built to emulsion) OR TKR8702 Aluminum Emulsion Shock caps TKR8027 Shock Stand Offs TKR6051 8x1.3 pistons(drilled to 1.4mm) TKR8104 .4 bellcranks TKR8100 .4 ackerman TKR5545B HRC Hubs You also need the Aluminum C Block (others can stay composite) What option parts should I consider buying with a new kit? None are required but we recommend the following: TKR5161 – V2 Adjustable Hinge Pin Brace “A” block, 7075 CNC, EB/NB/ET/NT/SCT) - Helps to improve durability on hard crashes. TKR5163 – V2 Adjustable Hinge Pin Brace “C” block, 7075 CNC, EB/NB/ET/NT/SCT) - Helps to improve durability on hard crashes. TKR5545B – HRC Rear Hubs (L/R, CV or uni, SCT.3/SL) - Improves stability of the rear on mid to corner exit. Allows harder acceleration on corner exit. TKR6146 - CNC Delrin Shock Cartridge Set TiNi Shock Shafts -TKR6004T (front) -TKR6017T (rear) What spare parts should I keep on hand? TKR5020 – Hinge Pins (inner, front/rear) TKR5516 – Front Suspension Arms and TKR5515 – Rear Suspension Arms TKR5542 – Spindle Carriers - TKR5541B Spindles TKR6009 – Shock O-Ring and Bladder Set (for 2 shocks) Tips and Tricks List of Vehicle Setup Adjustments and Build Tips can be found here. There are several videos and articles detailing the building of shocks, diffs, camber links, etc. Use steering stops/limiter washers... more info here. Setup Sheets: Setup sheets for all Tekno RC vehicles can be found here. Please be sure to try our recommended setup. It works very well on most tracks.   Hinge Pin Insert Chart:  Warranty Policy: Tekno RC is the only company in the industry that will give 50% off of parts if returned to them using the General Warranty return policy found on their website. The parts can be lightly used or completely abused, as long as the part is still being produced it's covered! Piston Drills: Some of our setups recommend using pistons that are enlarged. For instance 4x1.9 or 3x2.0. To drill the pistons we recommend the following: GMK Supply Piston Drill Set 16PC Metric Bit Set Metric Sizes 2.00 to 3.00 MM.

Thanks. I heard that on the cracking. Need a set of M4 Electrons for indoor here in a few weeks and saw a nice used set but they had Rulux wheels. I

SCT 410.3 Ride Height
Hello All,
Please forgive me if Im not following any protocol here but Im new to the site and fairly new back to the hobby. I just got finish building the 410.3 kit and installed wheels and body and noticed that the truck sits lower in the rear everytime i rest it down. The front does not move (seems to be stiffer in front) but the rear always sinks when I rest it down (soft in back). I built the truck according to spec but it still sits where the front is up and the rear is sunk.
At first I thought it was due to me not drilling\reaming out the front axle where the pins go. So I took it apart again and drilled out the axle for the supporting pins to make sure there was no binding there but still the truck does the same thing. The axle moves freely. Does anyone have any suggestions on what this might be???
I configured the truck using the "Vented Stock" for the shocks. Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. All the screws for the ride height under the axles are screwed all the way in and the same thing happens whether the truck is loaded down with batteries or not.
Thx

"screws for the ride height under the axles" sounds like you are describing the droop screws, these don't adjust ride height, the preload collars on top of the shock springs do
Screw the rear ones down to 8mm from the shock cap and back the front ones off as far as they'll go and see how it looks.Hope this helps

Also post a pic of the front end. Maybe something is binding. Do the shocks feel smooth as you compress them?

What's size tires are most of y'all using?.. the stock 12mm or have you upped them to 17mm buggy?...
I ask as the one I picked up already had the 17mm setup but I've been wondering how different the ride is with 12mm...

I'm using the stock 12mm size for my rims and I haven't had an issue in the 20 hours I've used it. The only problems I've had, and twice now, is the front plastic pieces that hold the A-arms to the chassis have broken twice. So I finally upgraded them to the alluminum ones. But the tires will wear out long before the rims become an issue.

I've bven thinking of upgrading those blocks to the aluminum set...
I'm more wondering about ride quality/control on the smaller tires vs larger...

I don't have any other 4wd experience but this Tekno handles SIGNIFICANTLY better than my 2wd TLR 22SCT using the exact same tires. I have a blast driving the Tekno around the track because it just seems to hold like it's on rails where as the 2wd trucks slip around corners and require a lot of tire cleaning to keep the lap times reasonable. I haven't even bothered to clean the tires on the Tekno after many hours of running on a clay track because it just holds so well.

I'll be heading out with some new clay track tires on Monday. Used the knobby badlands style that came with it the last couple times.. I also upped the oil weight all around.. so I'll see how differently it handles..
I've turned it into the SL buggy after seeing how the sct body got in the way the last couple times and the racket it made every time it landed.. I cut the wheelwells higher and the front and rear body way up so it wouldn't contact the bumpers and BAM!! Total improvement in how it ran that last day... since then it's bye bye sct... hello buggy...

So cutting didn't help much for you?

I'm thinking about cutting the wheel wells on mine since I'm running 17mm with the EB width. When the tires touch the body on the lip of a jump it causes it to nose dive like crazy. I have a EB and NB, so no reason to go SL with it currently.. if i can cut the wheel wells and stop the running then I'd love to keep the 17mm on there, if not it's back to stock. ]:

Have you reduced the anti squat considerably if not? Are you running overly soft springs, or not enough pack pistons?
The nose dive issue isn't an issue at all for those who have done these things.
It just blows my mind how many times these things have been said and are done by many pros who run the TEKNO, yet everyone that complains about these things generally don't do them. There is no secret about it. This truck is nose heavy and needs re-balanced to perform correctly on large jumps and rear end plant. The things I said takes care of this

As a race director, I don't allow anyone to run 1/8 scale 17mm rims and tires on a short course truck. If you are bashing and have a bunch of tires already, go for it!! If you are going to run at a track, ask at the track first if they will allow the buggy rims on a truck. They shouldn't (IMO) but if they do you set.

First have you done the battery back mod? Or replaced the chassis with the M2C battery back pan if you don't want to cut anything.

Sorry, the truck is fine with the 12mm wheel hexes, it's when I use the 17mm that I have the nose dive issue from the tires rubbing the body, causing it to brake basically on the lip of a jump. I have SCT tires (not buggy tires) on the 17mm, but it is too wide with that change. I might just switch back to 12mm, I hated the nuts on the 12mm set, so went with 17mm to see how it was.... ><
