[QUOTE=Hoese37;14069549]No need to worry about the towers. The rear is now 5MM thick, and the front has lost the recesses for the stand off. So there is now more beef in the towers which will reduce breakage.
Ok I called castle and talked to them and they stated that a vehicle like the tekno is what the sidewinder sct is made for....they told me 6.5 and the tekno weighs 6.2 with rx8 and sct motor....... And it is much less with normal electronics...... And as for the motor the man I talked to said it was basically a 550 rotor stuffed in to a 540 can as roar did not like the power the 550 made and so to get around it they stuffed it in a 540 can which there where no rules for in 4wd sct as it was considered too weak to drive a 4x4..... I'm giving it a shot tomorrow and we shall see..... Hopefully it works as claimed lol
Ok so what is the problem with the castle sidewinder sct setup?(it is the sct edition of the esc) Is the motor too weak or does the esc not provide enough amps? I'm kinda confused as to what sct it is for as a four pole is a bit overkill in 2wd and if it can not pull a 4wd what is it for?QUOTE]
Its pretty much made for the Slash. A light weight vehicle. At one point on their site Castle recommended the vehicle be under 5.5lbs to run it. The Tekno is just too big for the 65A ESC to handle.

Aswild: About to place my last bid. Looking at $220 for the new SCT410 partially assembled. The other used one has 15hrs left on Ebay and was going to bid $200. I think those are great deals compared to the quality of the durango. your thoughts?

Air Guards from 410 don't fit - Where to find some?
Ordered these from Omni models. They new nerf guards do not have the same hole placement. Further, even if you drill new ones, this this doesn't fit. the holes would be too close to the edge and they would crack to the side. Does anyone know who makes Air Guards? Preferably Carbon Fiber (can't find hot laps anymore)?
Below doesn't fit

Then you either have them on the wrong side or are upside down. The side guards and nerf bars did not change from the original design. There are also a left and right side. You may also have the actual nerf bar on the wrong side. One is longer than the other.

Looking for these carbon fiber air guards on this roller, may get outbid on this...

Hi,
I've read through this entire thread and through more than half the 1700 page sct410 thread, but cannot find a way to determine battery weight to balance the car left to right. I hope someone can help.
I just got into RC for the first time, after drooling over it for my entire life. Decided to go all out and get a SCT410.3 with waterproof electronics (it rain a lot here)
I'm running a 4S setup, with an Orion R8 WP (110g), an Orion Neon 550 2400 (265g), an 80g servo and a 10g Rx, so my electronics are about 100g heavier than a Tekin Rx8/4300HD setup many of you run.
Now for the battery, the last components to buy. As it is 4s, I'm obviously not racing it in a competition (only against myself), so runtime or mAh is not critical either. I do would like to jump straight though. I tried several ways of weighing the car (don't have a 4 wheel scales setup), but the hysteresis in the shocks and tires, together with the inaccuracies make it next to impossible to get a consistent reproducible measurement. It seems that the mass of the battery spreads ¾ to ¼ over left and right, but can't even say so for sure. My measurements also seem to show I need a 700g battery to balance the truck, which seems a bit extreme. Hence my request for help:
How can I find the optimum mass of the battery? Or am I trying to solve a made up problem and is a 200g mass difference not noticeable during jumping? I really hope someone can help.
Cheers, RCRijder

Thx - Maybe I'll just buy this roller and swap out to air guards. Like my 410.3 so much I'm going to find another to run 3s-4s just to practice on with a 3000kv motor. What are your thoughts on that roller? there is another one too just built never used on Ebay...
