Out of all the videos on short course trucks. The close up shots and the way you really point out the strengths of this truck, convinced me to buy one

[@TheRCNetwork]

Wow, thanks for the nice compliment! it is a great truck minus the motor mount...but if you leave the mount alone, it's fine. Happy RCing!

[@richie_rich75]

Nice to see you back

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks Rich! I appreciate you stopping by! 4 videos dropped today - check them out!

[@mrpotatoheadracing]

I still love my 410.3. I ran a number of points series and led them all until work kicked in and I had to quit. One year I still placed after missing last two races. Eat your heart out Losi and AE!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Nice! I had 2-3 SCTE's back in the day and once I got the original SCT410, it was all over. Tekno won the SCTE race of manufacturers

[@hanau73]

Mine is on the way!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Nice! It's a fun build

[@ballard-bt2ts]

So glad you’re back. Cinematography is excellent in all your videos but it looks like you took it up a notch for this one.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Wow, thanks! I filmed these last 4 videos in 4K....a first for me. I usually only do 1080p (just because of the amount of footage I usually have to manage)

[@lowjack100]

I agree the track scene’s especially.

[@netcruzer]

Appreciate you getting the info from Tekno on why they chose 13mm shocks with 16mm springs. Very interesting. Those new 5 hole pistons might become a popular tuning option for EB410/ET410 owners.

[@TheRCNetwork]

The 13/16mm thing caught me off guard right when I saw the box. It seemed like such a big difference in my head until I built them. It actually isn't that terrible for the SCT.

[@LawrenceTimme]

It's probably better with 2s and small electronics. I bet with a 1/8th motor and 4s a 16mm would be better again.

[@Competitionx]

Nice build sir. Working on my now, but love the way you've done yours. Great job!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks buddy! Zip that thing up!

[@jonathanfletcher97]

Saw new post alert from the RC Network and had to do a double take! Nice to have you back man. Solid video as always.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks buddy! It was a fun build. 4 videos released today - check them out!

[@CrashCourseRC86]

Great video!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks Jon. I appreciate you stopping by! 4 videos dropped today - check them out!

[@CrashCourseRC86]

Already watched them all 😂@@TheRCNetwork

[@Shadows-RC]

I love the look of this truck. It blows every other SCT of this size out of the water. Obviously. I'd go for a sensored castle MMX ESC and Holmes Hobbies (sensored) 550 with it's oversized rotor inside. With a heatsink and fan combo on it, this thing could be run all day everyday. I love the look of this kit! I just can't have it all though. Excellent video on this. It really shows just how fantastic this one is.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Nice electronics combo - John is good people and makes great motors...I say build it! Thanks for stopping

[@julionhanley5747]

Missed your videos, it was so sad reading the description hearing you had hung up the hat, great to see you back!!!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yeah, it took the right RC to get me back at it....

[@joeddejohn]

Sweet. Look forward to watching this weekend.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Nice!

[@LawrenceTimme]

Some of the new features i like and others im not so keen on. Like the aluminium servo horn, like the front shock tower brace and new bumper design. Also like they added steel inserts into the plastic a,b,c,d blocks. 👍 Not keen on the fixed motor mount, and the gears being covered. Not sure about only having a single strap either. The old one had 3 straps and although it was a pain to get off, it ment if one snaps youve got backup.

[@TheRCNetwork]

100% agree except the strap...the new wider 2.0 strap is fine...even on my EB48 2.0 (with a massive 4s). The motor mount is the big bummer and I looked up TKR9511 and it's the same mount....just meant for 1/8th scale motors and to fit 12-16t pinions. Not sure we will get a proper sliding mount

[@powcar91]

Can’t wait to see you building more rc’s. I built my vanquish Phoenix portal a couple months ago.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks for stopping by! Nice on the Phoenix....I was eyeballing that one too

[@GreatLakesRC]

Best build videos on KZbin! My current bash SCT is a Proline Pro SC 4x4. Might have to replace it with this, it looks amazing 🤩 I didn’t catch the hex size. Is it 12mm? If so did they make it so you can put 17mm on for 1/10 MT tires 🤔

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks buddy! Yeah, 12mm hexes, but really beefy stub axles - they 6mm.

[@mattster197]

WHAT?? RICH is back? Welcome back Rich. Nice video. More than a dinner out money now! haha

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks Matt! Maybe In-n-Out....

[@mattster197]

glad to see you back. Still doing the bike reports too? What brought you back? Did you miss us too much?@@TheRCNetwork

[@klausknudsen106]

Well now i know what i want for christmas, but i got to say, it looks to be build more as a basher then a racer. Thanks for the video.

[@TheRCNetwork]

I think Tekno has hopped on both sides of the fence on this one.....out of the box, it's suitable for bashing. With a few option parts (especially a proper motor mount) it can easily compete very well

[@chicagotom2006]

Welcome back Rich, I still have the Tekno/ MIP buggy I bought from you about 5 years ago.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Tom! Didn't it used to be CanCunTom? Good to see familiar names on the Tube!

[@chicagotom2006]

@@TheRCNetwork yes Rich I used CancunTom until I returned toe USA in Dec. 2019. Now live in a suburb of Albuquerque.

Great build. This will be my 12th tekno ! Never disappointed. Waiting for the mt410 2.0 now 😎

Nice! Dang, I don't even think I've owned 12 teknos....wait: SCT410, EB48.3, MT410, EB48.4, SCT410.3, DB48, EB410, EB410.2, ET410, ET410.2, EB48 2.0, ET48, 2.0, SCT410 2.0.

@TheRCNetwork it's on the way to germanys distributor. Already preordered! 😉 But we are always a little late to the party over here.

[@monocogenit1]

Great video series. thanks for all the info. This may be kind of silly question, but as stated on the box, parts compatibility with the 1/8th buggy, could the sct 410 2.0 be converted, say later on, to a 1/8th scale buggy? that would be pretty cool.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks Buddy! They're meaning some of the upgrade parts like the A, B, C, D blocks. Over all, the buggy is more robust than the SCT410 2.0. It would take a ton of money in parts to convert, not to mention the chassis is totally different as well.

[@monocogenit1]

okay awesome. thanks for the info. @@TheRCNetwork

[@cowpker4life333]

How weight vs 410.3 some nice changes but some downgrades from the .3 as well seems like.

[@TheRCNetwork]

I'll grab a weight on the after 1st run review....totally forgot when I built it. I agree - nice changes in durability and functionality. The only thing I don't like is the motor mount...but that's a personal thing for me

[@Mag_Fish]

Thanks

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks for stopping by! 4 new videos uploaded today...check them out!

[@SuperEightOneEight]

like the 410sl...this too probably more agile than my 410.3 on 2s..

[@TheRCNetwork]

The 2.0 is pretty heavy, like the 410.3 though. But it does seem to jump and land better

[@SuperEightOneEight]

@@TheRCNetwork must be different/better weight distribution then..

[@chrischupp9760]

Quality is nice

[@TheRCNetwork]

I agree, and with Tekno you get some crazy durability

[@tonysouthern3049]

We shall see how/if it is good. Mine is being shipped out today. It looks beefier than hell!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Nice! It's a fun build...make sure and install the electronics when the manual says to.....I had a ton of disassembly for that third videos to drop the electronics in

[@tonysouthern3049]

I thought I had overlooked something because I was tired but just took another look. We are not able to make adjustments for kick up, sweep, and anti squat out of the box. Only way to be able to make those adjustments is if we order the aluminum A,B,C and D blocks at 29.99 each. That sucks! If I am wrong please let me know! I have gone over the manual three times looking for it! @@TheRCNetwork

[@tonysouthern3049]

And Tekno is out of stock on the hinge pin inserts!

[@TheRCNetwork]

You are correct... the stock suspension holders are not adjustable. The EB48 2.X's blocks are the upgrade part. Check Fierce RC Solutions or Amain as a secondary source for them. On the durability side, all of the stock holders have a metal impregnated part though.

[@lowjack100]

I have add I was lost after the first 2 minutes. I am sure it’s a cool car.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Oh, you know it's a cool car!

[@XxTommyboy890Xx]

My only complaint with my sct410 build was the shock collars thread very roughly I wish they moved a tad easier.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Mine seemed to be good...my fingers remember the pain on the EB48 /ET48 2.0's

[@michaelinzitari]

8:27 can you please explain why you shim the diff. Is it to stop lateral movement? Or is it to set the mesh between the crown gear and the diff pinion? The reason that I ask is because you installed the shim on the non drive side of the diff which seems like you are pushing the gears away from each other, which is something I wouldn’t have expected to be a desired outcome.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Good question - according to their manual "(the diff shims)may not be required. Check fitment and add if needed." They show them to only go on the non drive side of the diff...I don't have specific reasoning as to why. All I know is that Tekno kits usually don't take any shims. You should only use shims if you feel it needs it. I only add them in if I can easily put them in.....and in this case one fit in easily. I agree with you, it doesn't make sense to add them to the non-drive side....but maybe they engineered it that way>?

[@jxz80]

When will the 17mm hex option be available? Thanks

[@TheRCNetwork]

Not sure, but Tekno is known to have them for SCT. Hopefully soon

[@Epic_RC589]

What stiffness are the shock springs

[@TheRCNetwork]

It's the stock springs from the kit - part numbers are in the owners manual

[@hashimrahman51]

Is the chassis 7075?

[@TheRCNetwork]

They don't say directly. Towers and motor mount are 7075. Searching 7075 on their website, it doesn't bring up the SCT410 2.0's chassis

[@johanngeisler1677]

Hi, ich hatte den alten Tekno MT410 . wie groß ist der neue im Vergleich zum alten? war mit dem alten eigentlich richtig zufrieden! doch man will immer was Neues ausprobieren☺️ will den neun auf 4S fahren fahren,und kann mich nicht entscheiden zwischen CST410.2.0 und MT410 2.0

[@TheRCNetwork]

The new MT410 2.0 is a bit smaller...a true 1/10th scale MT. The old one was a true 1/8th scale (even though Tekno mistakenly called it a 1/10th. The new 2.0 has 12mm hexes, shorter wheelbase and uses Buggy/SCT arms vs. the Truggy arms on the MT410. Plus, I'm not a fan of that motor mount - the pinion options are minimal and changing a pinion/pulling the motor is a pain.

[@toxicnerveYT]

Is the spur metal? Hard to tell from the video as it's black, could be steel or plastic.

[@TheRCNetwork]

It’s the stock plastic spur.

[@toxicnerveYT]

@@TheRCNetwork Thank you for the response. Bit odd that all the diffs are metal but not the main spur!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Most electric race kits include a plastic spur gear. As long as you set your mesh correctly, you should never have an issue. The positive side of the Tekno motor mount on this truck is that the mesh is fixed - and done well, so no guessing if you have a good mesh. Manufacturers usually use a plastic spur gear to create a "fail-safe" on the truck. In other words, it's better to strip a $5 plastic spur gear than twisting a $45 set of driveshafts or bricking a $179 motor. In all honesty, I have stripped 2 spur gears in my existence on The RCNetwork - one was the Losi mini 8ight, which had a terrible center diff mount and the other was my Axial Bomber when I was racing U4RC, as I way over powered / over weighted that truck. That's about 350 RC's I've owned/ran and only 2 have had an issue. Probably 90% had plastic spurs.

[@toxicnerveYT]

@@TheRCNetwork Fair enough, I'm not a racer, just a casual basher so maybe the Tekno isn't for me. Sure looks sweet though!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Tekno is the graduation from the more "cookie cutter" type vehicles like the Traxxas Slash or the Arrma Denton. What I found out about Tekno (and most race vehicles) is that you'll get a higher quality kit, more adjustability using higher grade materials and is race inspired, so it drives great. Plus, they're designed to last during racing, so typically much more durable that RTR RC's.

[@mrpotatoheadracing]

ChapStick? You got to be kidding! Do like I do and use the best, Carmex...

[@TheRCNetwork]

Chapstick for the win!

[@SpinRush]

The SERVO SAVER was a nightmare. The diffs! OMG! Mine bled out! CRANK all the way down to the point of stripping. **Check ESC wires and direction. My On / Off is too close to the center drive. LAST ONE! The TOP Plate brace! Get ready to scream. It's going to stress you out. It requires the screws to be installed in a select order. Make sure your Front Diff is perfect. Wait a few days just to check if it bleeds. You do NOT want to go back and rebuild the Front End. Serious time loss.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Building experience will fix all of these issues you stated. The servo saver has been the same on nearly every Tekno 1/8th scale model since the beginning. A simple use of a wheel wrench will make it easy. The diffs have evolved over time and these diffs are the smoothest, leak free ones ever from Tekno. There are building secrets on building diffs. It's about consistency and using the right amount of black grease in the right parts. The top plate brace was new, but I showed exactly how to do it in the video. The front diff is easily accessible by just removing 6 screws. Once you build one Tekno, you can build them all. Have fun RC'ing, Spin

[@SpinRush]

@@TheRCNetwork I respectfully disagree when it comes to the servo saver. I know because I just got it done about a week ago. You need to be a GORILLA to get that Spring pressed down. Even after placing the spring in a vice-grip for a couple hours, it did not soften up. Which is a good thing, I might add. However, I'm going to be pure honest about that piece. It's going to make you curse. You will use profanity when building the servo saver. It's not a breeze. Even with the 17mm wrench in hand, it's not EZ PZ. Now by no means does that mean "don't buy the kit". It's an awesome kit. Once you get through that small bit of hell, it's a breeze. It's not building experience that will get you past that, it's pure torque and muscle.

[@GeckoRC]

Not agree! Use the 17mm Wrench from Tekno and it's easy! ;) ​@@SpinRush

[@KoslyJoseph]

Welcome back, well done as usual!!! I am hiding my wallet now.

[@TheRCNetwork]

How did you know……

[@AphexTwinII]

Looks nice, but not $470 nice for just a chassis. There's better out there for less.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Kit wise, there's two: Tekno and TLR in the mainstream. The TLR is now discontinued but last had a price of $494. But, yeah, there's plenty of $300-400 RTR's out there...but to say they're "better"? Hmmmm. Can they win races, sure.....based on the driver alone. But are they really better? More durable? More upgradable?

[@teamcamel1755]

Is this truck nosedives like the sl version

[@TheRCNetwork]

If built properly and also driven properly, it will not nose dive. The usual culprit is driving style OR your rear shock package
