Might be worth noting, I'm running a et410 as a Short Course. With the +1 Hex, and the +3 AE Shortcourse wheels, I am right at the Roar width. Well, the Roar with for Short Course. In no way am I saying that is a rule for Truggy.

Do people flip the arms on the ET410 like we do on the EB410. I just did that to my EB and I liked it. Better landing.

I just started my ET build, happy fathers day to me!

they flip the arms if your doing the forward shock mount mod. Only drawback is the droop screw won’t touch the chassis

I found on the et410, it had plenty of steering through the corners. That is where I believe moving the rear shocks in front of the rear shock tower helps. My biggest issue, was jumping. With the rear shocks behind the rear shock tower, it helped it jump flatter or more predicable. I also tried a MIP chassis kit, and actually did not like it on the et410. But I did like converting one into a shortcourse, with a longer chassis. Jumps super smooth.

the guys at my track all thickened the rear oil to make it jump and handle better. Are you running30k up front?

i agree 100%. so my thinking was that i wanted more off power rotation into a corner. so i went down in front oil. i also went up in the center to put more power to the rear wheels when i came out of a corner. i'm at 20-50-10 and the truck is great on loose dirt.

ya I was advised to bump up the rear shocks to 35 weight and run it box stock. I did make a mistake in the build and put 10k in front instead of 30k. I caught it before it hit dirt and thought, f it,I’ll run it with 10k. I didn’t like the entry/exit steering on the couple I test drove before I bought it....Honestly I wasn’t impressed with either test drive. But I gave it a shot and when I ran it first pack, it was like the holy grail! Best box stock car I’ve ever driven!! And I love the 10 k in front. Indoors it works great,I could probably go 20 k outdoors. A little too much steering with 10k 👍

How do you guys feel about the et410 as a smallish, nimble, “in the city” type basher/all around rc? Is it a good size/shape for streets/grass/curbs? I grew up with a 1/10 stadium truck so it gives me the nostalgia feels. And I think itd make a nice compliment to my SMT10...

We put 15k in the front diff, increased rear toe(C pill double dot up and in, D pill double dot up and out)put the front a&b pills at center center and called it a day. Dropped .5 - 1 second off 16-17s lap times. We found the larger the difference between the front and rear diff oils the more locked the front will be and looser the rear will feel. Evening the oils but still acounding for the extra weight up front, 15k seemed to feel the most balanced on and off throttle.

I'd say It's everything you are looking for. The first time I took the little truggy out, I was overly joyed when launching it off some jumps...very predictable in flight. I'm a huge fan of stadium trucks, and driving one with 4wd, it just takes that stadium truck feeling to a whole new level. Yeah, so I destroyed the wing on the second outing. Easy fix. No long term durability issue talk from me as I only had the ET410 out track bashin' for a few months. I give props to Tekno for making a great driving RC, even if you don't race it.

Just to see what it looks like, I got another exotek front sway bar mount.

On the ET410, it doesn't fit. I'm guessing people are either not moving the shocks/arms or they are custom printing one.

I guess I'll have to buy another EB410 for mod to use up this mount!

Can you show a pic of how it's not fitting? The only reason I can see it not working is that when the arms are flipped the mounts for the swaybar (on the arm) are too far away and puts the plastic part connecting the arm to the bar at too much of an angle, which would cause it to bind on the ball at droop.
