410.3 What's this empty boxy thing for?

[Bobedi_BOB]

So i was building my mt and i saw this thing that looked like a servo mount but that was on the other side guard? What are you supposed to put here because the manual doesn't tell you.

I believe it is space for an extra servo that would activate brakes (nitro style).

No one really uses this in electric, because the motor acts as a braking system. I did hear some guys like the feel of independent brakes or use it to reduce battery consumption (braking seems to use significant power).

TEKNO has discontinued the mechanical brake kit:

When LiPo was first introduced the run times were abysmal so the brake kit allowed roughly 25% longer run times, but over time battery technology would replace the need for the upgrade as capacity and C ratings increased.

The 2.0 kits no longer offer this feature.

Side note: MT = Monster Truck and SCT = Short Course Truck which are 2 completely different classes.

They share the same chassis it's just the suspension that's different. Thanks for the reply though. (I have both but i hadn't put the side guard on the mt at the time of writing so i just grabbed my sct instead)

SCT arms, axles, shafts, shock towers make it roughly 90% different than the MT which is nearly double the size after wheels are installed... trying to compare the SCT410 to MT410 is like comparing Rhode Island to Texas

One clean sc410. How?

I had only driven it on 2s twice after buying it used and in dry dirt/sand. Yesterday was first bash on 3s and let's just say I almost needed water.
