DB48 Chainsaws SCT410.3 turned DB410

[Chainsaw10]

Here she is in Monster truck mode. Simple swap of rc4wd 12mm hex adapters to associated 17mm rc8t extended adapters...and some monster tires.

@Chainsaw10 have you had any issues running those wheels/tires with that setup? They look huge on that truck.

Looks like an awesome look for a Mad Max style build to me.

No issues whatsoever. It can take big tires and big power. A couple weeks ago I swapped out the whole sct410 driveline out and replaced with et48.4 parts. I swapped everything....now this truck has all the extra beefy 1/8 buggy parts(universals with 8mm axles,eb48 center driveshafts, bigger outdrives, beefier buggy arms/hubs/spindles)
This truck is just as tough as the mt410/et48

One of my favorite things about the Tekno line up is the compatibility of parts throughout the bunch. Such a smart and simple concept.

Very cool

You’ve got some awesome rigs man!

SCBE cage looks so awesome on there. Nice out of the box thinking and fab skills. Hope to see a vid of it in action someday.

The Wraith cage also looks good. Axial could only dream of Tekno beefiness.

Thanks guys. I’ll try to get a little video soon.

I knew I had seen it. It hasn’t been released yet. Apparently harder to source the parts than they thought. The kit is still in the works.

Can’t seem to find it now. Should be a U4RC conversion. I look again tonight.

So are they just taking all the needed Tekno RC parts and bundling them in a "kit" or doing something else I wonder.

Most likely a bundle. Pete has upgrade kits like this available for the SCT410 to 410.3 as well as the ET,NB,EB,and NB to .3 status.

Not a Tekno, but here’s another similar build I’ve been messing around with. This one is with a truggy length chassis.

[Chainsaw10]

It’s a HPI Apache C1(King Motor version). They bought the rights to HPI’s Apache trucks. But I hacked it up a bit, fit some 2.2 tires, installed a Hobbystar 4082 2000kv motor, installed wing/wingmount.
It’s basically a Vorza 1:8 scale buggy with a D8t length chassis.
I got this truck RTR Bbrand new on eBay for under $200. They usually are listed at over $300. It’s a great truck and compatible parts with all my other HPI and Hot Bodies 1/8 scales...I’ve got a bunch of them.

What wheels are those @Chainsaw10?

What wheels are those @Chainsaw10?

They’re DE Racing 17mm hex short course wheels. Tires are Proline XL Super Swampers. I had to trim the inner bead of the tire to fit the wheel.

 

[Chainsaw10]

On order! 17mm hub 2.2 beadlocks

Those new beadlocks look sharp @Chainsaw10. Can't wait to see them on your DB!
