It drives great, just like the truggy. Much more stable on bumpy ground at high speed where I drive it. It seems front heavy though, likes to nose dive. I had the battery all the way forward when it was the stock length so I'll move it the whopping 1cm i can toward the back and see what happens

- ET48 rear centre driveshaft
- Bodyshell, I was thinking of the HPI Gigante body. It's wheelbase is 360mm, the ET48's is 380mm. The overall length is 545mm, width is 203mm

To confirm, is all the rest ET48.3 stuff that the MT410 comes with or do you also need the ET48.3 shock towers (and wing of course) to have best of both worlds at your finger tips?

The ET comes with taller shock towers but aren't absolutely necessary. Keep in mind that the MT body mounts will not work with the ET towers without modification. The ET comes stock with narrower hubs as well.

I'm considering using the Pro-Line mounts (already have the replacement kit with just the grub screws and caps) drilled and tapped into the stock body posts for now, then ordering the actual SCT410 mount kit from eBay just to have in case I mess up the drilling/tapping or it breaks from being too thin after.

I wound up buying the Tekin 1700kV combo. I have a good time soldering, it's like mini welding

I'll have to send back my 14T pinion, don't know why I thought it would fit. I was finishing up my build tonight and noticed the manual even said 15T was as small as you can go. I went ahead and ordered a 15T tonight.

Looks like a nice upgrade, I need to pick them up.

Who makes those socks on your springs?

Which tire and wheel combination is that? Looks nice. 0 offset?

They are terrible tires. No traction and too light. I tried them on my MT410 and didn't like them at all. They weren't any better on the stock Kraton V1 that I got them on. There is a reason they stopped putting that tire on the Kraton.

Hi

Any chance of seeing it without the body? Also did you encounter any problems using the extended chassis? I'm getting one of these trucks in a few months, and I am thinking of doing extended chassis mod.

how about mounting truck bodies to ET48. The MT410 comes with the SCT body mounts which make mounting bodies a chinch.

You can mount a 10th scale body on the ET mounts. Just have trim a little off the back end.

I just built an MT and so far have to say that I prefer it over my ET.

Got another body painted up for this truck. I'd love to figure out a way to not trash the rear end of these bodies so quickly.

BTW, for anyone that is using rattle cans for paint, Tamiya is the only paint I will use anymore. It always turns out excellent, even with mediocre skills.
