SCT410.1 and SCT410.3 which one to transform to a monster ?

[sebcbien]

Hello,
I have a used SCT410.1/EB410.1 and an almost new SCT410.3, both where bought second hand.

I would like to "monsterify" one of them without spending too much.
Like mounting 2.8 trenchers with 0 or negative offset, a new body, ...

Would you use the 410.1 or the 410.3 ?
Any suggestion / inspiration / other transformations / links /pictures ?

Thanks !

So, here is what I've done
So far this truck is a beast, lot of "cushion" when jumping, fun to drive, slides well et I personally likes the "unique" look
I can keep the buggy body under the SCT body when it's muddy.
The SCT body, cut like that, has no parachute effect, on the race track, with buggy tyres, it's very efficient (against other SCT's)
The MM2 is still a beast and I can wheelie when already at medium speed...

I like the buggy body hiding inside - that will help keep things clean!

Sorry for the late reply, but if you converted your .1 to this MT, you may want to buy a set of .3 axles, hexes, and wheel nuts. The .1 has smaller wheel axles, and I broke one right away when I MT'ed my SCT310. I replaced them with the larger .3 axles, and have had no more issues. Fun Truck!

You are completely right, I just stripped one of my wheel, too much torque from the Castle on those small 12mm hex
Thanks for the compatibility tip and part list

Just looked at the sct410.3 but the hex are the same 12mm size.

I understand that the wheel mount of the 410.3 are beefier but maybe these TEKNO 1:8 parts: https://www.teknorc.com/shop/tkr5570-17-17mm-hub-adapter-set-sct410-18-buggy-width-2pcs/
are all I need to mount 17mm wheels ?

Thanks !

The axle for the .3 is a larger diameter (I think). I know the screw threads are larger, which is why you need different wheel nuts. The Hex is still 12mm, so if you want 17mm, then yeah those adapters are what you need.

As a side note, I ran my SCT410 on the track today. I love the way this truck drives - even with 2.8 Badlands and a bug body, it was handling great - just so smooth to drive. Love this truck!
