That looks a little bit weird.

Nah, the senton body just doesn't fit. Longer wheelbase. I was just curious to see if it would fit. Kind of interesting that the body post holes are nearly identical for all 3.

Had a rough start to racing my tekno. Fixed her up and raced with a cracked front bulkhead. This happened between 1st and 2nd q. I think I had 4wd for most of the 2nd but by main I was RWD only.

Congrats! This is the first broken Tekno I've ever seen!

I've seen quite a few reports of the bulkheads failing over the years. Grab a picture, or two, of the bulkhead off the chassis and send it off to Tekno for them to have on file. I'm always curious as to where these fail/crack. I'm guessing the forces of the body impacting objects trickles down to these bulkheads weak spot. I've not personally had one 410 platform fail in that area yet. My ET410 (circa 2019) has most of its original parts on it including the composite shock caps. It being such a durable RC was the biggest reason for me picking up more 410 platforms. But, the same shock caps are used on the SCT410SL and I had one cap "blow" early on.

How i "fixed" it to keep racing
Not too bad for damage. I think I will reuse the pinion and diff. The teeth are just a tiny bit worn

Not really. I was trying to break in some tires and hit a greasy spot and slid into the wall. The bulkhead wasn't as destroyed at that point. I figured I might as well see if it was tough enough to finish. I qualified 5th or 6th so I was happy with the performance. Switched to some tires that were broken in for the mains.Thanks for the clear picture. Any good story to go with it?

"... the wall." That's enough of the story for me to understand better.

Haha, no complaints about tekno or the truck. Truck handles great, truck is tough, my stupidity and the wall was just tougher that morning"... the wall." That's enough of the story for me to understand better.

Making it look easy: I had to do a double take, but apparently Wiggins was running his SL body (white) on backwards.

Nice, a guy was doing that at our track in practice.
