Deafty Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 fyi: there are red flags and if u have one (or think u do) u do. I was on a watch list for 12 months after I initiated a misconduct claim against them Sender addresses can also be flagged like Tbone racing etc.. I may have shot myself in the foot but I learnt many lessons from it. Then I changed addresses and voila. just thought I'd share. this info should stay valid until u lot leave the eu, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vettehigh Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) Thank you Sir... Is getting the TKR5298 Universal Driveshaft Set worth it? Think you need TKRBB08165 Ball Bearings (8x16x5, 4pcs) too... Does the Uni Driveshaft Set include 2 or 4 total pieces? Getting the MT410 next week and looking for the "must" have upgrades?

mond Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 From what i've read, the only point to the universals is they last longer than the CVDs but they aren't rebuild-able. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just spoke with Tekno, these are not needed. Just going with the alum servo horn and steel spur gear for upgrades. As for body mount posts, I was looking into Pro-Line Racing 6272-00 Extended Front/Rear Body Mounts...are these a good fit?

mydoddy69 Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 I use the proline ones I found the stock ones to be a little loose, upgrades yep I did the servo horn and have the spur ready in case I strip out the plastic one I also went with a Losi diff cup and gears for the centre but haven't test fitted yet.

Oh How Original Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 So, can anyone confirm the best (cheapest) place to buy one of these from? Considering my negativity when it was released, they're growing on me. It's this vs the Losi XXL2e at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With wheels/tyres/shell its nearly XXL2e without electrics. Dont think theres any unhappy owners but heres where to buy them. https://www.rprcdistribution.com/eb48-3/mt410-1-10th-electric-4-4-pro-monster-truck-kit Edited February 27, 2017 by Guns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, after adding up everything else needed, for some reason I thought it did actually come with wheels and tyres... It very quickly becomes a £700 truck, which seems quite high for what it is. Think I'll give that one a miss actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very hard to beat actually, especially given it comes with a 2200kv motor for a bit more pep for those who are limited to 4s and a top spec receiver, primed and ready to sell for those who don't want AVC.

vettehigh Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 My personal belief is that RTR's will never be the quality as higher end kits....being in the home entertainment business, I always laugh when I hear the word "Bose". Complete setups involve many components to get it where it needs to be and I have never seen a ready system of high quality. Feel the same way about RC/MT's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ESC is a bit of a kop out at 90a, but thats not a massive issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Just now, Guns said: The ESC is a bit of a kop out at 90a, but thats not a massive issue I agree and disagree, yes 90a does sound underwhelming, but even on 4s the videos of stock trucks seems absolutely fine and people are running it on 6s with no problems. If you compare to say a Castle 8th scale system that loooove to smoke on 6s because they can't really handle it, the amps slowly start to matter less, IMO anyway.

I've had the xxl2e motor and esc are okay shame the rest is a pile of crap ! Slipper diffs and outdrives are all weak points even on 4s I found parts support isn't great either personally I'd look elsewhere but hey it's your money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
