I was there when Dean and Jeff were testing this out, quite impressed with it.

[@413RC]

It’s an awesome truck for sure!

[@FromthePits]

@@413RC Outstanding for sure, and your footage top notch brothaaa!

[@writedeanb]

Was a fun day!

[@FromthePits]

@@writedeanb sure was man, glad to be a part of it in a roundabout way.

[@makestuffmike]

Man I miss OCRC so much! Even though they were 45 mins away, it was so much fun to race there! Ran my MIP SCTE there back in the day!

[@need4drift]

I just love my slashes. ✌️😁

[@GeddyRC]

DUDE! I love all the footage, the drone, the top mount, the side cam, not a whole lot of that on KZbin! And the jumps on that track are so dialed, it's a really nice spread. Car looks awesome. I'd love to build one of these some day.

[@RazorRC]

Great review, glad to see the truck running in different environments, thanks for showing that! Love the "rant" about 25T servos while wearing a Spektrum shirt... 😁😁😁

[@writedeanb]

Well, I did use a Spektrum transmitter and receiver… 😎

[@RazorRC]

@@writedeanb absolutely nothing wrong with Spektrum radios, receivers, batteries, ESCs, chargers and... motors! 😄

[@writedeanb]

@@RazorRC completely agree. DX5 Pro is my radio of choice!

[@adtjtjdjsj]

​@@RazorRC batteries are overpriced tho

[@jaredchampagne2752]

That was my blue XRT that was caught in the background multiple times. Nice meeting you guys, awesome video, hope to see you guys there again soon!

[@malsmith2012]

Awesome video fella's! Have to say I absolutely loved that rearward looking camera view watching the tyre work with the loads on it, wonder why more don't do that.. Keep up the great work! 😎👍

[@BeardRubEnjoyer]

The day Tekno makes a 2WD I'm all over it.

[@writedeanb]

Me too!

[@NikkiNexo777]

Same here.

[@glenncarlson3161]

To make this truck 2wd you could remove the front drive shaft, and put 20million fluid in the center diff. I might even try it myself.

[@NikkiNexo777]

@@glenncarlson3161 Why do you put 20 million fluid in the center diff? What does it do for the truck?

[@nickhowell6807]

Pretty sure there's a conversion kit....

[@shumzz]

Great looking truck. My local area is hot for this truck I was just at CTRT and lots of the guys are talking about getting one and racing at The Dirt. I’ve used the Tekno platform’s for many Ultra4 builds and racing since 2016. The DB48 and now the LN48 have been U4 podium chasers. They make for a fun basher too so I can see some fun builds with the new SCT410SL

[@shafiqjan1474]

I got 1st run SCT410, then a early SCT410.3 and I have an EB410 too. The SCT SL will be my summer project. 👍

[@gainsrc]

Definitely awesome on indoor clay. But from what I've seen on outdoor larger track not-so-good. Seems like it needs a little more weight so it's not so floaty Outdoors. Perhaps it was a body not being vented correctly but I think it's too light

[@glavos7536]

It was also very windy that day down here.

[@writedeanb]

Very windy and cold on test day. Was very difficult to do the drone footage due to the wind.

[@gainsrc]

Mark Santamaria also has a review. Same issues and more. His broke... btw he was indoor. No wind to blame. I'm a huge Tekno fan and own 3 of them. I love all 3 and wouldn't race anything else. Feeling like everyone is making excuses for the issues with this one. We'll see when more people get there hands on them and do independent reviews.

[@1203tcho]

410.3 seems way better in outdoor

[@n22pdf]

Awesome vid amazing footage guys.. 👍👍🤩🏅🏅

[@glenncarlson3161]

I just baught one! Can't wait to get it.

[@MRCG68]

hello RCD thanks for all those awsome vdo :)

[@zonegamma8197]

Wow nice quality rc

[@JFlyer1973]

Awesome review and what a great truck!!! Traded my TLR 22 5.0 DC with older electronics for a TLR SCTE 3.0 with newer electronics & batts. That will be my first foray into 4x4 SCT for now but if I was buying new... Tekno all the way!!!

[@omega_rc]

Great review! Love Teknos! Keep em coming🤙🤙🤙

[@JohnTaylor-zl4tjr]

Gotta love a good sct, they are a blast.

[@heffe17]

Great review, looks great on both surfaces.

[@Th3Mafia]

Otterville, in Ontario ... the SCT class just had a boost in population this season (2023).

[@INSIDIOUS-ONE]

AWESOME!!! From what I’ve heard you can use the 2 piece motor mount from the EB/ET410’s. Great vid & break down!!

[@marinearmeni]

Yes, the 2 piece motor mount from the EB/ET is a direct drop in.

[@Shellbackrc]

4wd sct class is still big at my local tracks TLR is the dominant brand

Where is your local track buddy?

[@MaxDellOrco]

the Wheels are the proline ? I've them but the hole is 3mm the sc is 4mm did you enlarged a bit? Thanks.

[@ronchang9791]

That's a cool POV shot from the side. What does the jig look like and is it mounted to the rear body mount or something?

[@pilatus.52]

Good presentation this vehicle interests me

[@scottdashnaw2345]

They also need a dust cover for the pinion

[@islandrc-duke1972]

awesome rc and great review

[@writedeanb]

Thank you

[@samlaw4557]

Nice review. If I go short course it will be this kit. Going back and forth on this or the 1/10 Truggy since they combine them both to race in same class at Huckleberry Rc here in CA. So not sure which way to go yet. But on side note I went to RC madness to pick up those bullets and they are “1up” brand and charging $21 but if you go to “1up” directly they are only $13.99. Just a helpful way to save money in this expensive hobby of ours lol.

[@fondfarewell2]

I'd still run a 550 size motor on a 4x4. That little 540 probably gets pretty hot and stains the battery.

[@mikellewis2346]

No these are really light trucks. I've heard up to a 1000 grams lighter then the sct410.3. Least the prostar kit for the et410.2 to make it into this truck basically is that much lighter. And is recommended to run 540 in that.

[@coryjamesc]

I have the SCT410.3 and love that truck I run outdoor a lot, ive been thinking about getting this truck because its the new truckm just not sure it will be as good ourside. beeing trying to do my research and see.

[@Krideezy]

That thing flies

[@glenncarlson3161]

I just baught one and I'm racing on a small 10th scale track. I don't know what motor I need. I was thinking The castle 3300kv, but I see you are running the 5700kv. Is that a lot faster with less torque basically? I'm looking for something close to a 10.5 turn to 13.5 turn modified motor. Thanks

[@joeddejohn]

Wonder how the Pro Line bead locks work with the FloTek on the 410 2.0

[@louis2179]

Just a thought on how the durability holds up against the arrma brand and if there will be a tekno speed rig with almost the same platform setup. Great review!!🏎️💨🏁👍

[@paulclancy2404]

Two different companies produce for different people . No tekno not going make speed car , they build kits for racers, arrmas for basher non racers

[@paulclancy2404]

Durable is there but cost twice as much

[@paulclancy2404]

And have buy wheels body put together

[@paulclancy2404]

But yes most would take this over a arrma senton. All day

[@louis2179]

@Paul Clancy I'm learning about the difference between brands and quality through other channels just like this one...just doing my best to retain information on the distinct differences on my builds when I started 3yrs ago...I believe most rc parts are just as similar to 1:1. Thank you for the feedback you've given 👍

[@Crypto_Brandon]

What is the best short course racing truck for indoor clay track? I will buy right now

[@kirylhalauko2918]

Is it typical for racing SCs to lack dirt protection? It is painful to see interior in dirt, especially considering open central differential.

[@CertifiableRcAddict]

Is there a specific diff fluid recommended for indoor high traction clay tracks?

[@arturoruiz5726]

I cant find the file for the battery stop, was it uploaded? If so can you send a link please?

[@BamaLIFE2022]

Can someone please help me with knowing what to buy I want to get a mount and whatever camera I need to get nice side shots on my trucks like this video that is too freaking cool I want that exact camera mount and camera setup very good video

[@joeddejohn]

How are they with parts support?

[@mrpotatoheadracing]

I love Tekno RC. Seems you need very little to nothing to make them race ready...

[@michaelinzitari]

3:38 do you have to remove centre diff to change pinion?

[@writedeanb]

Yes as one of the motor mounting screws sits behind the spur when using smaller pinions

[@michaelkuehnel7196]

Searching Thingiverse for the battery stop and not available. Have you uploaded yet?

[@michaelkuehnel7196]

Not a CAD person so while I wait for someone to put a .stl with the block battery stop, I cut a piece of wood the height and width of the battery pack and filled the space. Please let me know when the file is uploaded so I can make the build look a little more professional. Thanks in advance.

[@Texasbroski512]

So is this a full custom build

can you get this RTR?

No I don't think so....

[@writedeanb]

Kit only

[@jamesplymire5342]

5700kv?? 😳

[@LawrenceTimme]

Spicy, my 410.3 has 4700kv. Even that is nuts.

[@fulllife8385]

I don’t know why i prefer truggies and 2wd trucks 😢

[@LawrenceTimme]

So it's a weaker, worse sct at the same price as the old sct410.3 lol Just checked, it's actually £30 more here 😂

[@writedeanb]

Not weaker or worse. A new platform for a 4wd SCT. Lighter overall and very durable.

[@LawrenceTimme]

@@writedeanb the sct410.3 is based on 1/8th scale, it has 1/8th scale parts. This is based on 1/10th scale parts and its all from the same company, its objectively weaker than the previous version. It might be faster round a track because its lighter, but its a big downgrade. Especially when you factor in the price too.

[@paulclancy2404]

This for racing otherwise ofcourse better options including previous model

[@sotorc1448]

@@LawrenceTimme it would for sure be faster around the track lol. That's the entire point of it. People don't use tekno at my tracks cuz there so heavy. This is will destroy

[@jerrylundberg]

NOT durable, Rear bumper can break if you pickit up wrong. Front bulkhead breaks very easily

[@jeffbryner5355]

Beefy!? Mark Santa Maria broke his the first time on the track lol. Snapped the rear shock tower amd he is a team driver. I will stay with associated lol

Can this be turned into the et 410 or mt 410?
