But is it going to have enough traction?:lol:

Correct me if i'm wrong, but a potential "Conversion Kit" for ET48 --> MT410 would consist of:

1) MT410 shock towers
2) MT410 body posts/mounts
3) Body
4) Tires
5) Thicker oils

So if I own an ET48 already, I just need to get the mt towers and body posts (given that I dont want a shorter chassis) and im good to go?

FYI: FOR PEOPLE WHO DONT WANT THE SHORTER CHASSIS***

Your about spot on, besides lack of bumpers. Which I would suggest the Tbone bumpers for teh sct instead...and get their 8th wheelie bar

Just finished building mine and of course its raining. I have a few tekno eb48.2 buggies I bought used, so this was my first kit to build it took a while with just hand tools. I will be investing in some sort of power tool for my next build my hands hurt haha. I did a quick test run and its a wheelie machine for sure can't wait for it to dry up. I mostly drive on my backyard track I think this truck will be perfect for it, its very rough with big jumps and the grass around it is thick if you go off track. Plus sometimes I get bored and just try to jump whatever looks possible haha
Setup:

Castle mamba monster 2200kv with a HW SCT Pro ESC

SMC 4s 6700mah battery

18t pinion

80k80k50k in the diffs

Proline 3.8 badland tires

Proline Ram 1500 body

Hitec 7955 servo

Might want to look at a 17t pinion with that 2200. 18t I think might be a tad too much.

It is, I just wanted to try it. Its not getting hot it just has so much power it makes it difficult to drive. I have a 16-17t also. I might end up putting my smc 1900 in. I'm going to try a lighter diff fluid as well wheelies are fun but not when it won't do anything else. I think 30-30-20 is what I will try next. If I was just random bashing it would be fun but it will spend the majority of the time on my backyard track. Its just a different driving experience compared to the EB but testing things out and seeing what works is part of the fun.

Agreed. The wood bed was a nice addition. It's nice to see different bodies as well.

I run the SMC 1900kv in my ET with an 18t pinion, and it does just fine. I would assume you'd also want to be in the 17t-18t area with that. I'd say 18t, but to account for the larger/heavier tires, 17t may be the ticket.

Same advice to SavageSam. I'd go up in pinion from the 15t you said you were running.

Boring simple paint but already have some big cracks main reason I don't spend a lot of time on paint. shoegoo and dry wall tape will hopefully keep it from getting any worse.

I'm running hw 2250 kv. 17t was way too much power. The 15t calmed it down perfectly. I would do 15T.

Here is some a time lapse video of the unboxing and build video I did of the New TEKNO MT410 MONSTER TRUCK, Hope you enjoy the footage and thanks to the guys at Coast 2 Coast Rc here in Australia for arranging the kit for me to put through its paces.

Thanks for the Vid. Wow those were some pretty hard hits and shrugged it off. Excellent driving as well. Very enjoyable to watch.
