Hi All, I am about to build my 410.3, any advice? its going to be for indoor clay track (norcal Hobbies, san jose Ca)
any upgrades I should have that won't cost me a lot? I have the alum hexes from the orig 410 that I bought that I never used, so hopefully they will just fit this one.
Just wondering if there was any part I should get that I can install when I build the kit so I don't have to tear the whole truck down later to install it.

when I was looking to buy one, I was going to get the aluminum FF block (A?) and the RF block (C?) The A for durability as the original SCT410 had it included due to breakage. the RF more so because it seems to have a another setting option than the plastic one, and it adds some durability too.

the hingepin braces are about $20 or so each. The servo horns depending on which ones you get about about $10 - $15 each.
with some of the reports of breakage of the front hingepin brace like was seen on the V1, I wonder if they will include the new brace for free or send you one for free.

I like the Proline body mounts system. They are tight and keep the body nice and quiet as well. They don't make one for our truck (I don't think so) so...a little custom work went in to it.

Due to the high grip and the speed truck will be traveling I need to go higher on fluids, also the diff fluids will dictate that as well. Now, the stock fluids will be ok on small to med tracks with low/med grip.
Just got it done yesterday. ...Pretty stoked. This is my first brand-new car and first build. Very impressed with the quality and how nice everything fit. Ran a couple of batteries on the street to make sure everything is good to go and then truck drove amazing with 45wt fr/35 rr. Its about 62 grams heavier than my Mip Losi scte but I think the
weight are in the right places. Going to do club racing/tuning this weekend and going to the third race of the Jbrl next weekend. Will report back with more feedback.
[.QUOTE]Any special reason your shock oil is so far from the book set-up?

I don't think having all four is a needed expense personally unless something has changed on this vehicle versus the V1.
Tekno in general is trying to balance cost relative to what they can offer you in a package. It appears they added a lot of goodies to the vehicle, you will need to determine what you feel that is not there is a must have.
Personally, just start with the front hingepin brace instead of all 4. Servo horn as well.
You can also use a cheaper horn assuming the steering assembly is the same on the new car. I did that with the V1s, just raised up the position of the access point on the steering arm then flipped the button head screw to come up from the bottom of the servo horn to clear it. Never had and issue and got the angles right too.

Are there any interchangeable parts between the 410 and the .3? Diffs? arms? driveshafts?

yea I think I will just build it stock, I am not a basher and just practice at the local indoor clay track, so I don't anticipate a lot of breakage. I was just wondering if there were some sure parts to replace because they might be a weak spot but it appears the truck is still pretty new to tell and the 1st generation was damn tough, I was actually thinking of buying a used 1st gen 410 to use as in outdoor track truck.

I have both v1 and v2 (v1 as a superlite)
I believe if upgrade these items such as lighten outdrives, split ctr diff mount, lighten front drive shaft , aluminum pinion gear and lower cg motor mount. Just by doing that, I've lost 23 grams on the rotating mass off the drive line which equal to quicker acceleration,higher speed and less heat.
The low cg motor mount and the spit diff mount are worth the money. ..you can get the ctr diff and drive shafts out on less than 20 sec plus the motor sits so much lower with this new mount.
Imo keep your v1 and upgrade those parts mentioned and you'll be happy.
