I run this setup on mine. It's a tight squeeze but yes you can fit them in. Yes the esc is waterproof.

I'm still really excited to get this running and I know brushless with telemetry etc is going to be super fun, but I gotta say, it's all way more complicated than it was in the 90s
Follow safe procedures and you won't have any issues with lipos.

I'm not familiar with the mmx so it just concerned me about the waterproof thing. There has to be a plug in location that goes to the sensor board if u want to run the sensor wire so that is a spot that water can get in (whether u are using the sensor wire or not). But I could be wrong. Maybe the mmx is different than the other esc's I've used that are sensored. I guess I will have to research that a bit more. Or just go with the mm2 and be on the safe side. Anybody know if there is a difference between the mm2 and mmx (other than the sensored option) that makes the mmx a better esc?

If you're going to run in sensorless mode, then the MMX is completely waterproof. The sensor port has a plug to cover it when not in use if I am not mistaken. It's only when you decide to use the sensor wire that it becomes "water resistant" instead of "waterproof".

That said, don't waste your money on an MM2. The MMX can do everything and can do it better. If you're fine running sensorless then just get the MMX combo and avoid plugging in the sensor wire

The MMX has data logging and a better BEC.

Ok. Thanks. What about comparison between the hw xr8 and the mmx? Which would be better. Never heard much about it. I was mainly into racing and I did use an xerun before which wasn't bad but I've been mainly tekin for awhile now

What voltage can the mmx bec go up to?

Which proline raptor body part no. fits the mt410? I want the 2017 raptor which is the pro3468-00 which says fits revo 3.3 summit and tmaxx. That should work right? But the one that says it fits the mt410 is pro3345-00 but that's not the 2017 version

Hi all, I am keen on getting MT410 I read from earlier posts that it shares the same parts with other ET48 and other class.

Just wondering if I can use the ET48 chassis so I can have a longer wheelbase. Is this possible? If so, what other parts should I get to make it work (i.e. longer center dogbones)

Thanks in advance. This would be my first Tekno Truck if I get this

You'll need the ET48 rear center shaft & the rear chassis brace, or you could buy an ET48 & fab up some body mounts & add some bumpers.

But just know that it's hard to find a monster truck body that fits the truggy chassis. The Tekno web page lists them, but the HPI bodies are almost never in stock anywhere. The Associated Rival body works well when you can find one in stock. I think Amain may still have 'em.

Is there a list of parts spelled out somewhere to convert the eb48.3 to the
Mt410? I'm sure someone posted them in this thread but I'm not finding with the search. I may just be retarded tho.

Have another question about the castle mmx. If I'm running sensored and I decide to take it to the creek one day I know u guys said the esc had a cover for the sensor port on the esc to make it waterproof but what about the motor? I actually have a crawler that has a Holmes hobby sensored setup and I just packed the sensor ports with dielectric grease and plugged in the wire. That should keep any water from getting in so I should be able to do that on the castle sensored motor right?

Also what servo specs will i need for this truck? Something around 275-300oz? What voltage can the mmx bec go up to?

Thanks! I am planning to just buy the ET48.3 and get the MT410 towers + body post + bumpers so I can use my current Savage Flux XL bodies. Not really a fan of short wheelbase.

I think I would end up spending more if I get the MT 410 and buy the truggy chassis....
