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

-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.

I think the end point thing is more of a hey I am a noob and so it helps me not upset the car with too aggressive ham fisted inputs. I agree with you its not a "setup" solution. My radio does have return rate separately so I can play with that.

I need to rebuild the shocks and whatnot anyway so was just hoping to find a sort of "easy to drive" setup. I did notice the truck jumped differently depending on which set of holes the body was mounted on.

I drove my buddies SCT 410.3 also and his was much easier to jump/less twitchy but his is new and mine was a roller I bought. The track we are on is a pretty big outdoor track and probably needs a different setup than what the truck was setup for.

Try your buddy's setup. Also, the steering limiters will help you square up better out of a turn.

Hey guys, I'm converting my SL to an sct410.3. I got the wheel hexes, and found there's too much play between the drive pin and bearing. My hexes didn't come with shims and I was wondering what size shims I need to reduce the slop.

TKR1230 is what you're looking for. You shouldn't need more than 1 or 2 at each wheel at most. You want there to be a tick of free play.

Also, is there a good explanation of how to use the Dot inserts in the A,B,C,D hinge pin blocks. I'm trying to change rear toe and anti squat but the use of the inserts confuse me, sorry LOL, I have all aluminum blocks if that matters

Go back half a dozen pages. And look at my post #4210 and read thru to post #4218...

Good explanation of how the dots/pills work.

Malazan, we are trying to consolidate the information and made a new page with the info you are looking for. It's at the bottom, Calculating Inner Hinge Pin Degrees.

There's a diagram on the first page of this thread that I've found pretty useful. Rather than just memorize dot configurations, it helps to have a conceptual understanding of what is going on. In your case, the anti-squat refers to the angle of the rear arm as it's placed up or down. C block is the anti-squat, so you can make height adjustments on that, and on the D block (which is the toe). So you can raise the C block for more anti-squat, and lower the D for even more. Center dot on aluminum C is 2 degrees. One dot will make a one-degree adjustment, 2 dots will change it in .5 degree increments. You can refer to the diagram for all of the configurations. The anti-squat diagram will show all the angles you can make relative to the D block (all of those numbers in the box are anti-squat only). So just up-and-down adjustments on both the C and D block for anti-squat. Toe works the same way, the only difference is you're thinking about the angle of the hinge pin as it changes left and right (or inward and outward). You can change toe on both on C and D blocks. Center dot on D block is 3 degrees. Refer to the C and D blocks in the manual. The C block was lowered, but so was the D, both by one degrees, so the anti-squat stayed the same. Toe was changed one dot, or one degree inward on the D block. No change left or right was made on the C. Try to picture what the hinge pins shifting inward would do rather than memorize the dots (it would decrease the toe).

Going back to the anti-squat and the stock setup. You could raise both the C and D block one dot, or one degree and still keep 3 degrees. But this would achieve HRC, which stand for higher roll center (I believe--I don't completely understand the roll centers). The stock setup lowered both C and D blocks, which lowered the roll center.
