Other than the extended hex adapters to help make room for the MX Badlands it is stock down to the box set-up. I've dropped it out of the sky literally hundreds of times. It takes it.

Awesome to hear! The flat or uphill landings are always tougher on gear no doubt!

What hex extenders are you using? I was looking for Tekno brand extenders to space out my wheels too but can't find any.

Thanks! I personally like a long lofty single flip the best. I have hit a few smooth 4x flips before. Also a couple 5x, but they weren't pretty. Just yanked the throttle and got lucky.

I used the Associated ones.

Pretty sure that's them, but double check.

Thanks i might try these to space my rubbing wheels out a bit more! Do these Associated hubs use the set screw through the middle of the hub hole like the Tekno ones do? If they don't have that set screw do you find they fit on without much play?

They do use the set screw to hold the crosspin, but it's almost not even necessary because the retainer clip will hold the pin in place.
These hubs are a very precise fit

Perfect thanks for clarifying chainsaw, i'll check em out.

Anyone seen a gold Tekno? :) Pictures courtesy of Earl Agosto. What a beautiful machine.

madness !

That's some weird gaudy shizzle....does he have a cheetah hide covered body and zebra striped wheels to accompany his pimped out Sct410 :)?

Gots a new body fitted to my monster sct410.3. It's a Losi SCBE body/cage. This is the same chassis as the MT410, so with a little work it can also be fitted to the MT410.

Nice work chainsaw.

chainsaw10 09-21-2017 08:06 PM

Thanks Overkill. I'm really having fun with this project. It's very light weight and nimble ...lands big jumps very softly. It just handles rough terrain so nicely! I haven't actually run it yet with the 3.8 Badlands in the pics, just run 2.2 crawler tires so far(much lighter/narrower but same diameter). I just threw the Badlands on to compare to the MT410
Here it is with the XL crawler tires

Both your rigs are pretty wicked! I'd like to see that sct in action, sure looks like a fast and supple ride!!

I'm curious about caged body for my next MT410 body. Currently i'm looking at my super thick and durable outcast body and may try to fit it on my MT lol
