With that CC combo you'll be counting BF's in double digits, LOL. Even with the rtr combo I had in mine the thing snapped off BF's lickety split.

Ignore my silly username.. once upon a time I thought I was gonna be the next YT sensation jumping houses, water towers and whatnot. Turns out big air costs big bucks, huh, guess I hadn't thought that through,LOL. More like No-Air nowadays. I primarily rip around a backyard track at home, much cheaper, and I always win with no one around!!😁😂🍻

Good deal. Well, your MT410 just got a lot badder dude. That thing is gonna be a beast.

^^^^what these maniacs said..

I had pretty good experience with the MM2, and 1515 from Castle in my girl’s talion build.. had a defective bearing seize, but they replaced the motor no questions asked.. It was a MISSLE on 6s, ran super cool withOUT a dedicated motor fan, and that was with the stock pinion… Those trucks are HEAVY AF too..

Your shiit is gonna be straight up BONKERS. 🤣🤷🏻‍♂️

On 4s even 🤣

I can't wait to see some videos. While you're waiting @Lostinthewoods86 - go setup a YT channel. We gotta see this thing in action. 4k vids too. Don't go taking vids with a flip phone you slacker! 😝

When I first joined here, I had gotten back into the hobby 6 years or so prior, after a bit of a hiatus from the hobby. But I was balls deep into FPV Drones at that point. I still have a few. But after joining here and seeing people talk about the MT410, I put everything I needed to build a badass one, with full Tekin gear in my cart on Tower. I figured the kit would always be available, so one day I'd build one. But nope. That dream is gone.

Not to mention, Tower got rid of my entire wishlist, that I spent a couple years putting together 🤬 Kits I wanted to build one day. That's actually the list our Ryft came from. One of my favorite kits of all because it was a blast building it. Full Tekin as well, and It'll drive through walls!

Anyway, I always wanted an MT410. But I kept seeing other things I wanted to tinker with. Ahem... SCX24's. And now, the MT410 is so sadly discontinued 😥😢😭

So I am living the MT410 dream through Lost's build here 🤣 Can't wait bro!

Man that sucks! Yeah Tower sure as hell ain’t what it used to be imo.. At least you’re able to live vicariously through our directionally-challenged-forest-dwelling friend here! 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

And yessir-4s will be bananas in that thing. I would seriously say that 6s wouldn’t be any fun.. Be cool to see once or twice in a straight line, but that’s about it for me personally..😎🍻

Yeah, we know where that ends. An MT410 stuck 40' up in a Cypress tree 🤣

@majin - don't get no ideas! Bad majin!
 
Hell-I’m living vicariously too! If I hadn’t dropped a STUPID amount of loot into the new buggy (not the Associated from yesterday lol) literally a WEEK PRIOR, I would’ve snatched this very MT410 up FOR SURE.

I "tested" the ET48 on 6s with a 4.0 Zeee pack, yeah no.. I know folks do it, but some are content to zip up and down the block in a straight line on asphalt too.. not knocking, but not for me.
Took the words right outta my mouth homie. We’d get along good on the backyard track scene..🍻🤘😎

And @WickedFog -i think you missed the “gonna make you puke” moment on that RC8 build regarding the Picco.. The timer on the “auto merge reply” function here is waaaaay too long lol.. so I had a TON of posts in that thread get “merged” into a previous reply, and no notification to those following along that there was fresh activity/posts/media..🤷🏻‍♂️😅

I actually found the drag racing stuff to be a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Even the lowly DR10 is quite a hoot. Especially on 3s. Breydon just likes watching the car come back while he wiggles the steering. The car rocks back and forth kinda funny, and he gets a kick out of it. Strange kid 🤪
 
Dang this blew up while I was finishing up at work 😂. Not gonna go back and try to quote stuff 😂

YouTube channel, likely not, I’m weird like that 🤣 and I would have to get my son to do it 😂.

It will be on 4s, our mt8 is crazy enough for us on 4s so I’m sure we won’t be disappointed 😂 and we already got the batteries.
 
Heavy, not as much traction, not as much action. 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

“Square” profile tires aren’t the best option for a monster truck that’s gonna get driven, and punished. They sell well, and look good, but honestly that’s it.. The backflips flat out perform, annnnnnnnd look good doing it to boot.. Also, the “in air” manners are just tremendous. If you put both on your truck, and ran a pack through each back to back-I’d bet my paycheck you’d never use the prolines again.. and they’ll be WAY easier on your driveline, and bearings..And not at all pissing on your stuff, just explaining as you wanted to know what the dealio is…😉


There’s a solid plan! 🤩🤘

And yessir-they’re recommended for good reason for sure. 😅🤷🏻‍♂️🍻


DEFINITELY. 😍

Ultimate Racing makes some nice ones in every color under the sun… Beach RC carries all of ‘em. I used to run the OFNA countersunk washers back in the day, but here lately it’s been Ultimate, Team Brood (@ Amain), and Tekno. Be sure to buy stock in proper flathead screws in the correct sizes to accompany that order.. nothing looks worse than a button head in there…🤣🤣🤣
hey @Littlemotor could you post a link to those recomended backflips? I've already ordered one set wrong and am trying to avoid the same mistake again lol

You don't want backflips on your SCT man.

Anyone that stuck a Traxxas ESC in a Tekno needs to have the Tekno taken away from them. That's just blasphemy dude 😛
Judge not.... good thing I never put a Spektrum 150A in one... :doh:

The Spektrum stuff is a lot better than most RTR stuff. Our 3s Granite is actually too damned powerful. I am sticking a Spektrum ESC in our X-Maxx if I ever get back on that project.
 
So since I’m waiting again for the M2C stuff to come in, I went ahead and got the tekno aluminum servo horn coming too. Tried the PP one but it sat too high, was going to just run the plastic one and see but now I’ll just swap it. Still keep meaning to check the extended body posts I got to see if they fit, then get that bronco body ordered.
