Same here! I liked the shape a lot but it was already dented when I got it in my hands. When painting I already thought that this can't last. The first outing without crashes, just basic contact with other drivers it started failing. My old Pro-Line lasted me half of the season...

Unbelievable piece of shit. I would RMA it if I could.

You know it. :-)

Maybe the Avid wheel X2 combo is too wide. Or maybe I need to run more camber and/or higher body post. I want that FTW to work as it looks awesome, so I will try a few things.

See that what I like about this thread... thanks for the quick feedback on the truck bodies.

Hey guys, just purchased a new SCT410. Getting ready to start the build on it. I have a really dumb question...

Can I, or should I paint the air guards? I got the Tekno air guards which are clear. I didn't know if you guys were painting them or leaving them clear.

Sorry, I know it's a dumb question.. LOL!!!

Not a dumb question but are you asking if it is chemically possible to paint them or are you asking if it will mess something up if you paint them. You can definitely paint them and not mess anything up but I do not think I would bother because they get destroyed, just throw a sticker on them if you want.

I do not think many of us use them as much as we use to. They are nice for keeping out some dirt but don't see any huge help with parachuting. Since mine became cracked, I never felt the need to replace them.

I have a question for all the Tekno drivers. I'm gonna be holding a colostomy bag for a few months so I can't race until next season possibly. I have a ton of Tekno SCT410 stuff and was thinking to sell now and get back into racing next year if possible. Should I sell as a whole or try to piece out. What do you think I should honestly ask as a package deal for:
1. Brand new Tekno SCT410 still in box, only opened to remove and use the rear shock tower on my other Tekno that was raced
2. Tekno SCT410 used for 1 season (10 races) in great shape. Has a few upgrades like lightened out drives on diffs and lightened center driveshaft. Plus a few spares like hubs, arms and rear spare driveshaft still in bags. Original stock center driveshaft also.
3. Hobbywing SCT ESC used this season only
4. Hobbywing 4000kv used for 1 day
5. Hobbywing 4700kv used for all of 1 race season (9 races) except 1 day I used the 4000.
6. Tekin 4600 bought new and only used at the Roar Nationals where I finished 10th in the B main so all of 1 hour on that motor.
7. Hitec 7940 High Voltage servo
8. 1 new mylaps (new version) bought and used only at Roar Nationals.
9. Plus about 4-5 SMC 7200and 8 nanotech 6500
There's probably a few more things I can't remember but what should I honestly ask for all that?

Even though some stuff is barely used and the truck is still a relatively new truck, you take a bath selling rc stuff. I would expect about a 50% discount from online prices for electronic stuff and a little better on the kits (especially the new kit).

If it were me and I didn't HAVE to have the cash and planned to get back into it a few months later or even a year later, I wouldn't sell. The kit will not be outdated a year from now. The electronics will still work as well then as they do now.
You may get a little under $1000 for all and have to spend a couple grand to replace it when you start back up.

Sites slow, dup.

+1

Ah hah!
I tried the +3's with the +1 hexes, just to see what the fuss was about. I had to cut out a lot of the Losi high flow body as well to do this.

Even on the high traction track though, I went back to the +1 hexes and +0 wheels (which is what I ran in the prior posted video), as it handled slightly better and didn't seem to roll over any more...and fits in just about any body. It also had less tire wear due to less slide.

+1, I've sold a lot of rc stuff and rarely get more then 50% on a majority of it, but that's because I sell on a forum mostly, although...Craigslist and eBay will get you more money, I just sell on a local forum to get people a hook up and plus Craigslist takes long sometimes

That's what I was thinking or just take to my local track and set out on a race weekend. I'm getting lots of offers on individual parts so I think that may be the way to go. Package deal I will lose even more but I didn't mind if it meant I only went to post office 1 time! Thanks everyone

I didn't notice a difference with the air guards either, I decided to take them off.

I am not intentionally running +3 wheels. Are the Avids +3? If not then it is probably my camber and body post height.

We have our 3rd annual cancer benefit at the boneyard in ky this weekend so painted up a pink theme tundra body
