Alternative Springs I think other than initial build, I've used the softer Tekno rear green springs from day one (stock ones are yellow). I never had an issue with rear green springs (like mentioned in above post), but they are right on that edge of being too short. SC10 4x4 rear springs on...

Rear Springs Anybody who runs an ET410 with stock springs, and runs a low ride height, they'll usually comment on the adjustment collar/spring gap at full droop issue. Replies are always... "This is normal. Just run it." 😬 😜 :rolleyes::yawn: Common fix is to zip tie the springs to the...

I set all my 4wd RC's front ride heights to "bones level", and my 2wd platform's front ride heights are set to imaginary drive shafts, of course,... "arms level". After springs settle/get broken-in, I'm almost positive my ET410's front end will drop a millimeter or two. If I were running on a...

Alternative Springs Stock front springs (4 lb.) are 50mm in length where as the SC10 4x4 front springs are 63mm. Team Associated springs were a perfect fit. On paper, the new springs are a tad bit softer (3.9 lb.) which is what I was after. Maybe I'll order the 3.5 lb. springs to play with. In...

Springs Got some Team Associated SC10 4x4 springs to test fit on ET410/SCT410SL's shocks.

Going on two years now, and the ET410 is definitely one of the cheapest RCs to maintain. A torn wing, worn spur gear, and (worn?) o-rings were all the parts that I had to replace from the original kit to keep the mini truggy up and running. The Tekno ET410.2 has been out for awhile now, and has...

The Hobbywing EZRun 3652 4000kv is the motor I should have gotten in the first place. If I had a longer straightaway to run the truggy, I probably would have gone with the 4300kv Hobbywing G2 motor, but most days I turn down the throttle EPA to 85~90% to better keep control in the rough stuff...

Yes, I get excited about little things, and the updated wing mount will not disappoint. That thing should be right behind the metal servo horn in the list of "must haves". It is very solid feeling now.

I thought all you Tekno mini truggy guys were crazy when you said your shocks leaked. I don't know that I read anything on this forum, but other interweb chatter had people scratching their heads. Then it happened about a month ago to me. Rebuilt the shocks with stock x-rings, and within one...

The stock wing mount is super flexible. Too flexible? I'm always having to force the wing back into position after a hard tumble. With the EB410.2 coming out, a new updated wing mount is now available. My search for a workaround has ended! Hurray! It will make my truggy one step closer to perfect.

Every time I put this RC on the track, I'm so thankful Tekno RC made the mini truggy a reality. Even though what happened next, this thing is stupid fun I tell ya. First part to give out on this truggy, besides the Lexan wing, is the spur gear. In actuality, two-thirds of the spur gear got...

Well, after a couple months of using the truggy, I've noticed the rear end sagging. Not much, but like 4 to 5mm to where the rear CVA bones are below "bones level". That's exactly the ride height that I was after (should I need it), but couldn't achieve it. I tried to explain why in earlier...

Center to center body post measurements 250mm x 40 mm

I run my RCs on a rough off-road track (backyard) with little pebbles, and rocks imbedded in the soil (as show in picture below). A layer of the mixture is usually in the corners. I never had issues with my 1/8 buggy getting something lodged in center diff gear, but the ET410 picked up a...

The stock rear yellow springs are too stiff to get desired ride height. I can't see anyone using the stock rear springs to get a low ride height, unless a different shock tower is used, or the coils are cut. I currently have to use the 2.61 lb/in, green springs in the rear (and find them just...

The ET410 is quickly becoming my all time favorite RC. I though for sure it was going to fly somewhat nose heavy. Not the case at all. The truggy extremely well balanced on the ground and in the air.

LOL. Wing? What wing? I got tired of trying to fix a lost cause. Maybe the lexan wings, that come with ET410 bodies, will last on a smooth astro, or carpet track. But, on a rough off-road "dirt" track...FORGET IT! Run without a wing? I can't do it. Too stupid looking IMO. The ET410 is a truggy...

When the ET410 was being talked about in pre-release terms, people were going back and forth between the terms 4wd stadium truck, and 1/10 scale truggy. I planned on running the ET410 with your standard ST wheels, and tires. Somewhere between then, and now I got into a predicament/panic that I...

I forgot to post finished product. I'll admit, I absolutely hate painting RC car bodies. Prepping, masking, spraying, cutting, spraying, cleaning, spraying, cleaning...it's all tedious work to me, and I'm just not that good at it. Simple designs is all I'm good for :woot:. JConcepts Finnisher...

I was going to test everything with stock parts. After reading about turf guys having bulkhead issues, my main concern is the front bulkhead snapping. I thought I'd just go ahead and add some extra insurance. I had Trinity's camber plate bulkhead saver laying around; staring at me...on she...
