    I noticed after you did your series on the tekno mt 410 other RUclips channel's did videos on it too. But they mostly show it in action, you did 12 videos showing from building it to bashing it. That's true dedication to your viewers and I really appreciate that. Thanks 😊!

    Excellent series and could not agree more with you opinion. I also fly RC planes and look at those like you did with the Tekno. I can buy multiple foamies RTR’s or one large gas plane. So the decision is simple. 6 different planes for the cost of 1 large gas plane. The cars/trucks are in the same category to me!

    I have owned both of these and several more from both brands. Arrma holds nothing to Tekno when you know what to fix. The first thing that has to be replaced is the chassis. Tekno made a huge mistake sending this rc out with a RACE drilled out "LOL" chassis. I bet that's what caused the diff issues. These diffs are bulletproof when built right. You dont need the Alum diffs but you do need the alum chassis from m2c. You also should swap out the battery tray to an Arrma tray. pretty ez mod. The shock caps do need the alum caps, they should have included those but didnt. Again I knew all this going into my build. Long story short I wanted my Tekno to end up being a Kraton killer since. I bought the m2c Chassis for the ET. It is longer than the stock chassis. Makes it the same length as Kraton basically. Problem I found then is to much shock travel. If I could go over again to build the best 1/8 scale basher/racer I would buy a Tekno ET48 2.0. Get m2c chassis couple things and there ya go. The way a Tekno drives is unique. When it rolls down the road through the throttle curve you can just HEAR quality in the components. When you turn it just FEEls great. Once you get the must haves you will love it. You dont need 2k. Get the Chassis of your choice. arrma battery tray. alum shock caps. and m2c shock towers, almost forgot about that. I broke so many front shock towers. So thats the trade off I see. You want a better sounding better driving, better exp car you have to upgrade a few parts. Tekno is a race company and they dont build bashers. Its a shame they dont. They could do well if they tried I bet. Their plastics are superb, you will not break many plastics. And they have a big discount if you send broke parts back. If you dont race anybody like some bashing races you may not enjoy the Tekno as much. That is really where it shines, when it does what it was engineered to do. Lay the smack down on those corners and jumps. FLY BABY FLY> You wanna beat your buddies Kraton or outacast? Get a Tekno and upgrade it. One more thing, the toughest basher I ever had was a Tekno sct410 converted to a buggy. 4s 6s lmao my god. could not break the thing without going full on into a wall. It was stupid fun, stupid fast. ATE up any 4x4 1/10 that looked at it in a race. Hands down by a mile the best rc car I ever owned. And that one didnt really require any upgrades. almost all stock. Love your channel hope my rant helps in some way bud

    Totally fair review Earl. 👍
    At the end of the day, regardless of whatever rc somebody drives, it may need upgraded or modded depending on how hard the owner wants to run it or how personalized they want it to be.
    Enjoyed every bit of this series even though I haven’t run an rc monster truck in 30 years.

    4s backflips is the way to go, i actually went to 1/8 tire on my cen reeper because staying away from bigger tires means less weight on the corners so less stress on suspension as well less weight on the drivetrain so less strain and drag, improved reliability and less likely to shatter pins and strip teeth

    It's definitely a great build, but dam expensive for sure. I feel for the money you paid ally shock caps and metal diffs should have been included. I like how the softer plastics absorb impacts but it's no good for the threads on shock caps.
    Still a few hundred more to replace the parts and where does it stop.
    Looks a fun RC for sure but for me ird prefer something cheaper that bashes well enough.

  • @soundmindtv2911
    @soundmindtv2911 2 года назад +1

    Thanks for the detailed breakdown. In my opinion, from observation and minimal real world experience, I don’t see the value of kits for anything beyond learning. Everyone should buy at least one kit to build, build it and run it for the experience - to learn the mechanics, and get hands on experience of how all the systems work, and learn why some things fail. Then, after that, if someone wants a particular style RC for a particular usage, buy the individual parts, and build it from scratch, not from a kit. You’ll get exactly what you want, and in the long run, you’ll save money, because you didn’t waste the money on the throw-away parts to begin with. Buy a chassis, buy the arms you want, axles, spindles, carriers, diffs, shocks, body mounts, body, powertrain and electronics… all of it. Gather your own “kit” of bits and pieces, and put together exactly what you want out of the gate.
    HOWEVER - Earl, your videos going over the details of each platform give such in-depth insight to what does and doesn’t work, so thanks to you and sharing your efforts with us, we have a better idea of where to start. I really hope your efforts bring you enough return to make it continue to be worth your while, because I really enjoy all of it, from builds to repairs to speed runs to drag hits to bashes, and I especially like that your kids are often involved. Good times!
    Remember folks - the manufacturers do what they can to cut costs in their offerings to keep the price point within a market range. Thus, injection-molded parts wherever possible. And they get away with it because most people probably run the thing around in their backyard, not off 60-foot jumps. I’ll be choosing platforms and buying components to assemble vehicles, not buying RTR’s or kits, for the most part, except maybe for collectible type RTR’s.

    The new corally sketer is out and same wheelbase, but the track is more narrow. So for a rtr at the near price that just this chassis costs, is this really worth it? No tires , no body even! I don't know. I'll be assembling my 410 soon. I'm not expecting to be blown away. I think this thing is overhyped and overpriced for an old design. We'll see. I'm tempted to sell my 410 before even though assembling it based on your vids on this. You're absolutely right on the fun per dollar assessment. You're the only honest reviewer not getting free cars or compensation.

    The MT410 is an odd kit. It’s price point is low enough to attract customers looking at MT’s like the Arrma’s Outcast RTR because people do some quick math and figure they can get it running for around the same price. Once assembly begins, they see that for a small difference in price, they can upgrade individual components, like shock caps. Here is where we lose sight of the overall cost as it’s normal to focus only on the costs of each upgrade. Before we know it, we’re at the $1500-$2000 and a new question arises. Do we want to send a $2000 RC?

      @@earlmoorhead5555 The jury is still out for me until I run it. I will say that the Tekno does bring the additional benefits of building it yourself. You’re right about those additional costs. As a new builder I didn’t realize I needed all those additional items. You could also add some additional or higher quality tools. I probably spent $300-400 getting tools. Of course, as I also own a tool box full of Snap-On so that’s a drop in the bucket for me 😉

    Wasn’t expecting that much damage after one run actually wasn’t expecting any since the Traxxas RTR’s go through repeated bashes and worse crashes and can go back out for more. The Tekno is definitely not a basher in stock form as it comes in the kit. I would still consider building one but not for bashing.

    Yes for sure it is an expensive rig to build and it’s a lot of money for a basher but it’s not just any old basher it’s not some ready to run Arrma or Traxxas it’s tekno we’re talking about and you feel the difference when your driving it! There’s really no difference in building this or buying an Arrma infraction, limitless, or felony the completely rebuilding it so that it will hit 150 mph that’s an easy 2500 easy! In general this is just an expensive hobby and until you’ve sit down to build a rig like this or a speed run rig and actually kept track of how much money you’ve spent on the build before most realize how expensive it really is. Just my opinion…….

Now realizing that it needs upgrades I’ll have to order parts and find time to install them before I can use it again ..and in today’s increased market value everything’s 15% more then last year but rtr still give you value fir what you get like my V2 infraction rtr 👍👍
