Tekno SCT410 Thread
Just a quick question? Has anyone new start running in your class. What radio and rx are you running. Last year I started running a new track during practice my truck seemed to run fine but as soon as the race started I would just loose throttle but still have steering swore it had to be my mmp. It ended up being someone in my class was running a low end radio and rx and it would make my spektrum radio freak out. Ended up buying a mt-4 that same day and all my troubles went away and didn't have to run the e-bec anymore.

Are you guys still relying on Mr. Baker's setup for indoor standard? Or are we going elsewhere at this point?
Basically I have to be lazy on you guys because I'm rushing as it is.

Help me out guys! I need a boost. We open practice tomorrow night for a huge race this weekend.

Yes, i have a good radio, futaba 4pl, which glitching is unheard of for that radio. There are a couple drivers running flysky radios @ my track, but from what i've heard, interference only occurs when there are spektrum's and flysky's running together. I've ran the 4pl in my other cars, with flysky's in range with no issues. Definitely not a radio problem. So far the only variable left is the motor.
I think its from unplugging to use castle link. Now I put shoe goo around where the wires go in the connector to act as a strain relief.
Make sure you really check over the wires going to the rx. I had a ground wire that was hanging on by a couple strands once. Couldn't tell by looking at it but that was the issue. Same symtoms, totally random resets.

I get what you're saying about making the rx wires secure. The problem is, i need to be able to unplug my esc wire to use castle link. Shoo gooing the esc wire into that adapter would be a good idea if i never planned on needing to adjust anything. I already made sure the esc wire was in the adapter nice and tight, and i made sure there was some slack just in case of chassis flex. It there was a way to get the shoo-goo off clean, i'd do it right now.
Quick thought/question on vented build:
I have had great success converting my Mugen MBX6 shocks over to vented bladders. MOST of us Mugen guys run Losi foam compensators (LOSA 5431) above the bladder since there now isn't an air pocket above working to prevent the bladder from collapsing. I have yet to read about anyone doing this on the Tekno vented setup. Is it just that the vented setup isn't nearly as popular as the standard non-vented bladder setup? I'm going to be building my shocks with the Tekno metal caps, Serpent comb bladders, Tekno 1.3x8 pistons and the foam compensators. Just curious what people's thoughts were. Thanks!

BTW--I initially tried running the shocks emulsion style with little to no success. I think emulsion works better in lighter vehicles.
Oh, another thing, is the consensus with people that they're still running 4 orings per shock or has anyone played with eliminating some? Smooth medium bite medium size indoor track (trackside hobbies in Brookfield WI).
Thanks all--LOVE THIS FORUM AND THIS TRUCK!!!!!

I saw some discussion about servo horns. Is there a certain length or different servo horn you have to use for thebtekno? I have been using answer racing aluminum servo horns and would love to be able to use the one I just ordered on my tekno when I get it on Wednesday.
Here's a pic of the one I ordered. It also comes in black but was out of stock
