Greetings all! New here. 👋

Last week I finally got my hands on, what is my grail rc truck, an MT410. A craigslist deal and a 2 hour drive later, here I am. As I stated in @Lostinthewoods86 thread, after purchasing a Castle Cobra 8 combo, I came across this site searching "mt410 cobra 8" in google to find esc mounting ideas and his thread was the first hit. To my surprise, it's the only thread, or better yet, the only MT410 I found with that combo. Here I plan on sharing my build in hopes that I for once sit back and snap some pics throughout the process lol. It wouldn't be my first time building an RC car, but it will be the first time with a Tekno. Unfortunately, the MT410 I found was already assembled and running, as I wanted to completely build it myself, but hey, it's already hard enough to find a built rig, let alone a kit. Without testing the truck in it's purchased state, I removed the electronics and left it as a roller or slider, depending if I use the tires that came along with it. It also came with a trimmed, unpainted Raptor body with the clear film already removed. Plans for the build are a Castle Cobra8 combo, Perfect Pass Monster servo, M2C parts, and hopefully a TRX4 Blazer body. I also now have the to find a way to add my own touch to the build and not be a copycat to Lost's badass build, as I already started off as one, lmao. :facepalm:

We shall refer to my MT410, as "The Lost Clone" going forward. ;)

Here a few pics of the truck when purchased, it's current state, and some of my Slash builds for fun. Looking forward to see what this forum brings. All advice and criticism welcomed. :cool:

Alright guys! I’m back with an update and parts. Finally got the motor in today. I have no idea why amazon needed almost 2 weeks to deliver it. I’ll leave this picture here as I don’t know what to do now, but it’ll hint what might be. Lol. Cheers y’all.

Looks like fun times ahead! :joyful:
Fun times for sure. I finally got a kit as I initially wanted. Not sure what to build now. I want to extend the current rolling chassis but then it would be considered an ET48.3 and this thread would be a lie lol
