NEW!! Tekno SCT410 2.0 ✌️ - RUNNING VIDEO + BONUS Durability Montage

[@JakeVag]

The legend himself is back.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks for the kind words......I'm just a normal guy that likes RC and figured out how to film it

[@JakeVag]

@@TheRCNetwork I'm not even into the hobby anymore but I'll gladly stop by and watch some grade A running footage that it seems like only you and Jang could achieve.

[@Mr316jon316]

Any chance you are coming back? I’ve been vegging out to your videos recently lol

[@davidy5204]

Just came across this review, the durability montage was great! Really makes me miss ultimate rc. Jang just did it better than anyone else at the time.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Wow, thanks! Ultimate RC stopped making videos right after I got into RC KZbin. I 100% agree, Hang had a knack for making great informative videos and that's what I tried to mimic

[@shawngregory8336]

Glad to see you back and in good health, really missed your content the last couple of years. Awesome unboxing, build, overview, and running videos of this amazing truck, hope you are here to stay.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Oh, man...thanks! It's comments like these that make it all worth the work. I just had to respond to a little keyboard warrior on FB claiming that all Tekno RC's are crap because of his experience and said I drove like crap....I had to defend the Tekno truck and agreed that my driving was terrible! lol

[@Albertotron]

Oh man. That durability montage brought back memories of Jang's videos.

[@TheRCNetwork]

I know, right? He's one of my big influences on making my channel. I tried to do a spin on his clean filming style and clear spoke dialog. The durability montage is mainly to pay tribute....and it's cool when people remember his videos

[@threeohm]

Short Course Trucks never left baby! Great to see yours flying over the jumps.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Oh, you know it! Thanks for stopping by!

[@Competitionx]

Man, that thing looks great on that blown out track! Was going to stay away from there for that reason but might actually give it a shot!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yeah, two of the jump lips were killing me! 8' of jump with about 1' of usable area! Let me know when you're ready to go out...I'll probably have my 4s system in by then!

[@Livlifetaistdeth]

I was just watching an old video and decided to see if there was anything new and boom! Thanks for taking the time to shoot such an awesome video.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Wow, thanks for stopping by!

[@Daddy9bot]

I own 4 Tekno's because you sold me on their quality! I missed ur high-caliber videos please return!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Well, it is true (their quality!). Thanks for stopping by, buddy

[@richie_rich75]

Can’t wait to see other contents you will post again! Just got back into rc’s again with crawlers,bashing arrma and maybe Traxxas too lol 😂 and just did over the weekend sand drag racing with arrma platform. Look forward to seeing more great videos

[@TheRCNetwork]

Nice! Yeah, RC is a rabbit hole experience! I went down deep my last go around....we will see this time

[@yuthokr01]

love the turn in and cornering stability! Curious what your thoughts are comparing this truck to the SL. Thanks!

[@TheRCNetwork]

I haven't driven the SL....but this one I'm sure feels more planted just from the extra weight

[@StraitJacketRC]

LOL your bail section at the end looks like my highlight reel haha I'm just a simple basher. Like I've mentioned prior glad to have you back dude! Man would it be cool to see Tekno's take on a basher. I know there is the MT410 but that's pretty short for a basher these days. LWB and especially XLWB are where it's at. plus it's dated as well. IDK, Arrma should be dropping their new EXB lineup shortly. At least that's what I keep telling myself haha "Are youCrazy?!?"

[@TheRCNetwork]

You didn't hear it from me...but I think they're close to launching the new MT410 2.0. They slipped out a part recently on their site with that as a vehicle it fits.

[@brandoncortez5669]

NO WAY! Been watching for years, thanks for the videos!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks for watching, buddy! Glad to put out some new content

[@joeddejohn]

And a track to run it on. Nice! With the techno music. Hehe. Thanks.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yeah, I tried to pair it well....with copyright free music. The owner of Tekno is a big Techno fan (and I think used to DJ) and named his RC company that way

[@TecraTube]

that's looking like a great 4wd sct truck. just subbed after watching the past 2 videos on it. excellent videos with valued input so thanks bro. side note- it appears to be jumping and landing nicely but driving outside of that, it appears shocks are too stiff IMO. it's hopping around too much

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks for the sub! One of the reasons I paused making videos the last two years were pretty much all of my local tracks shut down (WCRC, LRH and OCRC) - I'm in Orange County, CA. This little Oakley track isn't maintained and when I got here was all blown out. Massive holes everywhere and many of the jump lips were toast...which makes for a great durability montage.....but not the best racing footage. 90% of the hopping around is the track

[@TecraTube]

@@TheRCNetwork I hear ya. thanks for vids

[@kenf4017]

Welcome Back, its been a long time, I hope your well, I got the arrma limitless and the components, good to see your videos again.😊

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks Ken! It was a fun build. 4 videos released today - check them out! the Limitless is no joke!

[@dang3402]

Building one right now. I noticed that almost the end of your video you were showing all the tumble Wambles. Does that mean that this truck is unstable and always just wants to land on his back?

[@TheRCNetwork]

Not at all - the track was really blown out and many of the jump faces were destroyed. I tried to hit sections of the jumps that were still intact, but to the right of where I was standing and right in front of, it was bad. The SCT 2.0 drives really stable and probably the best SCT to date

[@woodycreasman8226]

Oh, man, good to hear from you, you're back.👍👍

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yep, back in the game for now.

[@adrianjay1972]

Wicked truck! Great choice in the music!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks for stopping by and the kind words!

[@Ramz3s]

Hey Rich, long time viewer of your videos, particularly the build overviews. A quick question: in your honest opinion, your thoughts on the 410 2.0 vs the 410.3. i have the .3 and from the looking at the manuals and research I've done, it just seems to be built a little more heavy duty compared to the 2.0 such as the bigger shocks. Also I'd rather have a sliding motormount. Additionally, i wonder if the rather narrow chassis body of the .3 allows for less parachuting. Just curious to see what you think. Thanks.

[@TheRCNetwork]

IMO, the SCT410 2.0 drives better than the SCT410.3. Durability wise the .3 has the advantage along with the motor mount. So, it's a trade off. There are mods out there to fit the EB48 2.X motor mount to the SCT410 2.0 though - it will require moving the side guard and possibly the chassis plate to make it work. According to Tekno, they did extensive testing on the 13mm vs 17mm shocks on the SCT and it came down to the team liking the 13mm and how tunable those were for slightly lighter vehicles. I always preferred the 17mm shocks though - which is something that can be modded easily as well - but you will have to tune it. As for parachute effect - all SCT's suffer. The .3 probably had it worse IF you didn't use the plexi sideboards. I think the SCT410 2.0 did well with the parachute effect, but I did cut out quite a bit of the rear of the body.

[@Ramz3s]

@@TheRCNetwork awesome, thanks so much Rich. Very helpful breakdown

[@raindeergames6104]

But of a random question but I would really appreciate if You could assist. I'm desperately looking for full slick tyres for eb410. Is there You can recommend?

[@TheRCNetwork]

jconcepts.net/10th-Scale-Buggy_c_33.html

[@rhrc87]

How much does it weigh with the electrics in it? Cant find anywhere that says and curious to know

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks for watching! I'll have a 5th video that includes the weight - totally forgot to get that for the reveal video. I just got it cleaned up, fixed quite a few issues and want to answer common questions on the truck.

[@swissfreek]

I know you say this track is in rough shape, but did you ever figure out/do anything to settle the rear end on jumps? My SCT's rear end pops up like crazy on every single jump unless I hold full throttle all the way through. Tried going up a little on the rear shock oil weight, didn't seem to do anything. Increasing ride height seems to mayyyybe help a little? Curious if you have the same experience and have some tuning tips. Thanks!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Like I mentioned in many of the comments of this video, the track was severely blown out and many of the jumps have not been maintained - they almost have a "BMX" style jump face, so matter how you hit it, you're doomed. You'll notice that on the far right jump, I always headed to the far outside to try and get a good launch. Hitting anywhere in the middle donkey kicked the truck. Same with the one in front of where I was standing - I had to go hard inside to get a good face. The truck is incredibly stable as you can see for the remainder of the jumps (that had a good jump face). As for taming a truck that goes nose down, it's all about that rear shock package. Usually it's the preload/oil/spring rate in that order to start fixing. My truck in this video was 100% box stock set up including preload. I always film my first runs that way.

[@bradtaylor2518]

It time now change into tekno sct 4x4 and what about start making sct 2wd tekno ? Mmm sound that idea!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Tekno and their owner (Daniel Lewis) has stated they would never make 2wd RC's

[@Justwiselove]

@@markthompson8659 Hey Mark, thanks for the comment. I haven’t done anything RC since this video.

Thanks for stopping by! It was a great run of nearly 10 years on KZbin featuring RC's. Lots of fond memories, but time is a bit scarce these days with a newer career, new hobbies and my family. My videos will always be up for watching though! Happy RCing!

We will see. I have some new products headed in, but probably no videos till the new year

[@joeddejohn]

Something tells me Rich might be looking at the Mt 410 2.0

[@TheRCNetwork]

Nope, I wasn't invited to review the MT410 2.0......probably because I was the only one to criticize the SCT410 2.0's motor mount. Plus, the MT410 2.0 isn't anything close to what the original MT410 was...it's smaller, no real 1/8th scale components, 12mm hex and has that same motor mount.

[@K5_RC]

He's baaaack

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yes, sir!

[@AsurasWrath164]

Ouch, that track is in horrible condition. But a bad track is better than no track. And that montage reminded me of times old. I miss Jang soo much. I even watch some of his lego content sometimes even though im not into bricks anymore.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yeah, it's blown out. But like you said....this or nothing. Jang was the inspiration for my channel originally. At the time, he had the best content, clear presentation with accurate knowledge.

[@RUZTY1311]

Lookin good! That body is terrible btw lol It's super hard and cracks easily at the body posts in the rear. My pins were pulling out of the body within a month haha

[@TheRCNetwork]

Let's be honest.....All SCT bodies are terrible especially on blown out tracks like this one. My body is doing pretty good so far...just one crack in the front grill.....body post area it good and shockingly the rear section hasn't torn. I'm happy with this one so far though

[@RUZTY1311]

@TheRCNetwork You know what it was the HF2 body that I have that cracked a bunch so not sure if yours is a little different. You've heard of RC Comet right? They have the BEST and most durabke SCT body around and Phoenix performance is good also from what I hear 👍

[@ramonbmovies]

The video started out awesome. But then you basically turned off the music right when the energy was at its peak. Right when I was like, "Cool, I'm turning up the volume," the music got cut and when it came back it was weak. Next time, please keep the music going at full volume. Other than that, it was a good video.

[@TheRCNetwork]

It’s funny…..the reason why I did that was to try and please all the whiners that state either the music sucks or the music is too loud vs. the RC. It’s hard to please everyone these days…..

[@ramonbmovies]

@@TheRCNetwork True. You just have to decide for yourself what you prefer. If you like how you did it here, then keep on doing it. I know I said not to do it but in truth it's your channel and YOU decide what you want. Good video. I also watched the one right before this one where you explain the build. It was very informative. And like you said in that one - build it as you like it. Same w/ video. I'm sorry if I seemed like I was complaining. I'm jealous that you have the Tekno SCT!

[@TheRCNetwork]

100% agree about AE. And why I haven't shown an AE product on my channel since 2018. I lost a ton of respect for AE from their current president on down. BTW, Tekno direct offers a military discount. I believe their head designer is former military.
