Regarding the front bumper issue... I had the same problem right off... the screw just never seemed to take.. but after converting it over to a SL and putting that lil baby bumper on and having the same issue with the normal screw... here's the "boom"...
Use your small hex driver and punch through the back of the hole and use a longer version of the same hex screw... magic for this guys problem...

Agreed. When I jumped ship from the losi (which I hated) and started driving the tekno I was definitely better. But still not great. When I finally learned to drive the tekno differently...the truck really took off. And I've never looked back. No matter what I did to the losi it just wouldn't respond for me. Plus the losi requires far more regular maintenance. And I agree 100% about the weight...the more power you have the extra weight really helps. Especially on outdoor tracks

I agree you can push this truck hard but I've found recently that the more finesse I use the faster I'm going. Sometimes slow is fast

I agree about the maintenance, Tekno trucks simply don't need any!! however, the front heavy design can suck on some layouts.. if you have one you know what I mean. that same drawback becomes an amazing benefit when you encounter a track that does NOT have the dreaded jump before sharp turn combo. That combo will have you pulling your hair out with the tekno - until you learn to compensate with throttle going up and leaving the jump.. but that can also hurt lap times. so yea, tekno kills with its amazing change of direction and front grip.. but....

Curious, how often do you guys have to change out wheel bearings? I just ordered some from Avid cause my are trashed and my truck is really new.

They did get gritty almost intermediately though..

This past weekend I was racing indoors for the first time with my sct410.3. I practiced quite a bit Fri. night and show up for the race Saturday to run my first qual and my front diff outdrive snapped. My buddy who is a Tekno team driver and only had his eb48.3 came to the rescue with the new outdrives that Tekno just put out not long ago. Part number is TKR5114XB. I was leery at first as to whether or not it would fit being that the outdrive is made for the EB/NB ET/NT cars. Well I put it in and it fit like a glove. My question is, will this hurt my truck in any way? Should I go ahead and replace the others with the new ones?

Any of y'all having issues whit the inside of the hub's stripping out from crashing?.. I've had it happen to both the front and the rear. There's only a little bit of plastic between those two bearings that keeps them separated..
Doesn't look like Tekno or anyone makes any aluminum hopups for these...

Do you know what those guys used? If I can prevent it in the others and possibly fix the old ones that'd be awesome...
And on another note... what are some of yall's diff fluid weights? They redid the track where I run and there are some tight turns (mostly 1:10th buggys there) and I have shat for on power steering... I was thinking of 3-7-3 and seeing what happens. This will be the first time I've worked with diff fluid for tuning. Also reading up on what camber and toe on the front do for increasing turning...

And I've turned my 410.3 into a SL. The spacer/shim thought was exactly what I was thinking it needs. Something just smaller than the outer ring of the 13mm bearing.
