Peter Weber thanks so much bro!!! I keep missing messages...Lol. Power on 6s is CRAZY which might suit me just fine once I dial her in a bit more.👍👍😵😵😵😲😱😎👊👊
Trent Marlowe thanks so much man. This rig is a BEAST!!! Extremely fun and durable with great handling and tuneability. Could become my favorite basher, we'll see.👍👍🙋🙋🙋😲😲😱👊
Midwest Boss thanks man, the MT is a friggin BEAST!!! Can honestly say she flies as far as my sleek overgeared Truggified Typhon even with a truck body and some parachute effect. Really is an insane high speed basher. LOVE it my friend.👍👍😵😵😵😱😲👊👊
Midwest Boss I definitely liked it, but that was with smaller wheels. Need to gear down a bit and try it with the Backflips again. Thinking I'll likely stay on 6s though and tailor my trigger finger to make it work...Lol.👍👍😵
Anthony Van Vorst thanks so much bro, really appreciate that!!! This rig is a BEAST no doubt, growing on me very quickly. Looking forward to getting her further dialed in with a bit more time and tuning. 👍👍😵😵😱😲🙋🙋👊👊
Sick bash my friend and wow you are really giving this truck a good testing/beating. Awesome video once again and yeah famous last words " one more jump" lol great stuff Rich
KillerOffRoadHobbyz thanks brother, hope you're still feeling better bro. Yeah I'm LOVING the MT no doubt!!! Really am use to more wheel mass and cushion then the Badlands provide, but had awesome fun either way. Truck takes a great beating no doubt, that last jump/flail was just too much. Bought new caps at LHS and straightened shaft and steering link in the vice, good as new again right after bash...Lol. Hope we can hook up again soon brother.👍👍🏋🏋😵😵😵😲😱🙋👊
mtctookie25 thanks so much, this Tekno has been very impressive so far!!! Still experimenting with gearing, tires, and overall setup, but WICKED FUN basher. Appreciate the comment, definitely deserving of BEAST status this MT410.👍👍😵😵😵😲😱🙋👊👊
Once again killer bash, I'm thinking about picking up mt410 but I think it should have come with aluminum caps and some kind of grab bar like the Kraton or savage to protect the body from roof landings but never the less looks like a solid truck!
corey kurtz just grab it up! it's in a league of its own man.. I've been RCing for 20+ years and it's the best kit-rig I've ever owned.. so durable it's weird lol! the kraton is a good truck and i still own one but they don't even compare dude, mt410 is so much better at everything.. might be alittle more $ at the register but the kraton will cost u far more in the long run
corey kurtz thanks much bro!!! Yeah I'd score her a 9 or 10 if the kit came with metal spur and shock caps. I'm not surprised the cap blew off, but must say that flail landing was BRUTAL!!! Yeah an integrated body support would be nice and practical no doubt. Will say the MT is a friggin BEAST and a pleasure to bash. Don't think you'd regret getting one anyway.👍👍😵😵😵😲😲😱😱👊
Hey man I kept seeing the RC World talk about Rich Duperbash LOL...and decided to take a look. Gotta say your a cool, humble in depth RC ENTHUSIAST and I had to subscribe. I'm not a basher, but if I decided to start your the guy I'd go to for advice and bash with for sure. Thanks for these great RC videos, love your responses to the RC COMMUNITY, LEGIT! :-)
Tom Tracks thanks so much bro, really appreciate the kind words. I'm continually amazed by how durable and capable these bashers are and also by how willing people involved in RC are to share info/insights and help one another truly enjoy this awesome hobby. Much appreciated my friend.👍👍😵😵😵😲😱🙋👊👊
Awesome viewing as always ! I like hearing about your trying different setups etc. I've just finished building my ET48.3 ! Just the body to paint. Waiting on my Dboots Backflips to arrive. I'm gunna struggle with getting it dirty to start with ! Have fun cheers for now 👍
RC OFF-ROAD DOWNUNDER thanks man, much appreciated!!! That's awesome about the ET48. I really enjoy trying different setups, love wrenching as much as bashing...Lol. Don't love cutting out or painting bodies, now I just hammer through it, knowing the body's getting trashed soon... Lol.👍👍😵😵😵😲😱👊👊
Rich Duperbash Must say I'm the same... love the wrenching part. I'm actually in the the middle of painting my body now... taking far too much care ! These Tekno bodies are quite thin, can't see it lasting long... just need it to look nice for a photo and that's about it haha !
Kenny Melanko thanks Kenny, she's a super fun basher and blazing fast. Going to take a few packs to harness her full potential, but VERY impressed with this kit. Need to get more wheel mass back on her for my driving style off the bigger jumps, but ridiculously FUN rig, props to TEKNO. 👍👍💪😵😵😵😲😲😱🙋🙋👊
Rc Fun thanks brother, definitely took some jacked landings from pretty high up....Lol. Most certainly impressed with the overall durability and performance of this lightweight BEAST. FUN for days this rig is. Looking forward to getting her all dialed in with more setup and tuning. Very impressed with this Tekno no doubt!!! 🙋🙋👍😵😵😵😲😱👊👊
Whoooo.... Of all the bash videos I have seen this is definitely the one that is hardest on the car. The MT410 is apparently on a different level durability-wise.
Kristoffer Rydquist thanks brother 👊. The MT410 really is extremely durable overall. It's lighter, compact design and quality components really helps it hold together quite well. Happy bashing my friend!!!🍻🙋🙋😲😲😲😵😎💪👊👊
I ordered one too. The rear bumper has given me some trouble but it's the only thing. The rest of the truck is cut from a single block of antimantium. I'm impressed. Other than having to get a new body every 20 packs its perfect. lol. My body is just getting jacked and its fully reinforced. The wheelie bar replaces only the large actual rear bumper. The other two smaller pieces remain and are used to secure the new wheelie bar.
Great bash bro. The truck took a ton of hard shots and kept going. That last hard shot was brutal. I'm surprised the whole front end did not get grenaded. I think Tekno has built a truck that is near the limit of durability with current technology and materials. It's quite a feat. The guys at Tekno said the tires they most often recommend are the ones you were running. I think tire choice is a lot like shock tuning. It's always a compromise.
bierstadt77 yeah I edited out some regular jumps to show some bad ones and illustrate it's durability. Vid was just too long otherwise...Lol. Yeah it's definitely a BEAST. Did realize that really bad landing actually tweaked the A arm plastic a bit, just noticed last night, sort of twisted and buckled it, but no cracks!!! Don't plan on flailing like that again, but crap happens. Any other RC would likely have taken that hit MUCH worse. The Badlands 3.8 are nice cuz they also allow good chassis slap, but I really need more tire cushion and wheel mass for my style of bashing. Hoping to find a perfect size soon. Backflip tires definitely do not allow easy chassis slap, I've noticed. Probably putting excessive strain on the arms, towers, and shocks. Still getting this rig dialed in no doubt.👍👍😵😵😵😲🙋👊👊
Rich Duperbash Here is my 15 pack report on my MT410. I love it. It's super fun and overall very durable. I've have had some problems which I'll list. 1. Bent two sets of long screws that hold rear bumper on. 2. Broke 2 body posts. 3. Badly damaged the plastic piece that holds the rear body posts on. 4. Completely destroyed a heavily reinforced body. 5. Replaced rear diff case because of bent screws (May not have been necessary). I've reordered a new and different body. The proline raptor body is no good. I would avoid it. I also think the rear bumper design needs some improvement. It basically was damaged after 3 packs. It collapses on itself and becomes distorted very quickly. I have installed the T Bone rear wheelie bar and it seems to be solid and is doing its job well. I recommend it. The truck is still drivable with the damaged stock bumper but it provides little protection once damaged. In addition, the body mounting system is kinda weak imo. It may be the raptor body though. It is ill suited to this truck. I have had to spend some money to keep the Mt410 up and running but I've also driven it pretty hard too. I still think it's the highest quality, toughest truck available. It's super smooth and fast and handles really well considering its short wheelbase. I've had some heat issues as well but that is not really the trucks fault. I'm still working out the temp issues and have ordered a lower kv motor to run with the big trenchers.
bierstadt77 thanks much for the feedback. I also believe it's a wonderful truck with awesome handling, blazing speed, and very impressive durability. I have way less packs in her, but have found some vulnerabilities too. That brutal take off and landing (actually hit a rock outcropping off that jump face) twisted/buckled the same side A-arm pretty badly, enough to bend the sway bar and slightly alter the final wheel position. Really wouldn't expect any RC to withstand that honestly, surprised it didn't snap...Lol!!! Rear bumper fairly tweaked after first bash but still functional. Bent right rear driveshaft enough to have to straighten. Small both sides crack to rear diff case at upper attachment to tower, just next to rear plastic chassis support. I never noticed it until after the 2nd bash, but recall not having a tower to tower brace on the first bash to better support this. Like I mentioned prior, no RC in unbreakable, but this Tekno is VERY durable. The body posts don't fit very snuggly and could be impoved no doubt. All in all, love the design and performance of this rig, but she does have pretty thin driveshafts and atleast some potential weak spots with really big air/harder bashing. 👍👍😵😵😲👊👊
12R1 thanks brother, it truly is a BADASS basher. I'm glad the C-10 body fit her cuz it's fairly priced and will definitely take a beating...Lol. I've always liked metallic blue!!! Happy bashing bro.👍👍🙋🙋😵😵😵😲😱👊👊
Hey rich glenn here havnt spoke 4 a while i nearly have my channel ready to go about 2 weeks away! great to see you got the mt 410 just a splendid machine! i went all out and put 1717 and mamba x in mine! the motor is so big i had to put esc on top of receiver box😂😃👍💪!! cant wait to start channel its been a work in progress i have made a studio witch has been a bit involved but almost there just need to decide on camera computer and edit software!! anyway nice bash there was some serious jumps landed there but thats nothing unexpected we all no what is in-stored when we click on rich duperbash 😀😁😂! see ya soon Glenn
GLENN WALKER that's awesome bud, good to hear no doubt. Let me know when the channel is up. Really digging the MT so far, still courting my new girl...Lol!!! Should have her dialed/tuned for my needs soon, but very impressed to say the least.👍👍😵😵😵🙋🙋🙋😲😲😱👊👊
RCbashing the KRATON thanks brother, she's wicked FUN and tough no doubt. Glad the rock ledge on that jump face I found didn't rip the front end off...Lol. Tried running her yesterday with heavier Big Rock wheels and ESC crapped out, wasn't even warmed up yet, then Outcast ESC crapped. Set button isn't working on either of them and no throttle. May try Hobbywing max 8 combo. Just borrowed Andrew's Outcast ESC to get her up again. Do you happen to know if Hobbywing program card works on Arrma BLX ESCs???👍👍😵😵😲😱😱😎👊
do you think having punch up to ten has anything to do with it.. might be straining esc ... i only had issues with the one that caught fire.. that was because that jumper plug came loose on bash pryer and probably had voltage surge... them jumpers are nothing but trouble.. i would think the card would works on esc but never tried it... i keep my punch at 8
RCbashing the KRATON not sure bro, I backed my punch down to 7 like 2 months ago on my Outcast with Nero motor, and had this one at 7 too. I'd think quick throttle bursts would spike voltage surge, but both ESCs stopped working after landing fairly average jumps. Wondering if the circuit boards got damaged??? Just Crazy that it happened back to back within minutes of one another. Left me pissed and shaking my head...Lol. May just ship them to Arrma for warranty.👍👍🤔🤔👊
2040 RC thanks much my friend. Yeah this rig is so light and agile in comparison to the Outcast, really demands different inputs on throttle and steering for sure. 6s was a bit challenging, but the smaller wheel mass this bash was the trickier part in getting the wheel spin and rotational timing down. The smaller Badlands are much less forgiving with hard landings and way slower to rotate and correct the rig midair...Lol. LOVE this MT so far, handles SICK like a race basher!!! Think once she's fully dialed in she'll be an another level no doubt. She speeds and flies much like my Truggified Typhon but with a higher CG and WIDE stance, unlike any rig I've bashed before. I'm impressed to say the least.👍👍💪😵😵😵😱😲👊👊
2040 RC it's already a pricey kit in the States, not sure I'd spend extra for import costs. I'd shop eBay for something closer to home personally. Great truck no doubt, but total cost and then parts availability for you must be considered.👍👍
WOOOWW!! this thing is a nasty bugger. building mines right now and waiting on parts to come in. nice bash rich. you need some seat time to adjust and i know you will get it real quick. bash on rc bro.
melbourne e. adams jr. thanks bro, I really enjoyed the build personally. Such race level parts and components, just beautiful!!! Really should've come with aluminum spur and shock caps, but it's all good. Yeah I couldn't get the quick rotations I wanted with the Badlands 3.8s, but she sure ripped the ground up and corners with them...Lol. Think with a bit more seat time this rig will allow for insane air maneuvering, just so dang light!!! Definitely LOVING IT, so far. Hope you enjoy it like I am when she's done. Tekno did awesome with this one.👍👍🙋🙋🙋😵😲😲😱😱👊💪
wooooooo. awesome awesome bashing bro. make me want to walk out of work right now and go bash. lol. 2 thumbs up. It is a little getting used to with 6s. I'm still trying to get used to it. she is light and just glides in the air. It can take a beating and keeps on going. you can't beat it. and it handles awesome. great job.
Family Fun R.C. oohhhh brother, couldn't agree more man, this MT is SICK!!! I often want to get out Bashing after watching other's vids too....Lol. Stuck at work myself. Yeah 6s definitely takes some feathering of the throttle, but sure screams something nice!!!👍👍😀😀😵😵😵😲😱🙋👊👊
John Forbes thanks so much brother 😂!!! Yes, I have utterly abused my MT😨...Lol. It's finally getting a much needed rebuild. Should be faster and stronger than ever when I'm done with it. Appreciate the kind words John!!!🍻🤘🤘😵😵😵😲😎💪👊👊
How do your M2C braces hold up? Mine is all M2Cd but I find myself frequently snapping the 6971 tower braces and ripping the screws out of the rear bulkheads. I'm considering making a custom brace to run between the tops of the towers.
Overall my braces hold up well. I have bent or snapped the original 6971 part before, but not the V3 version combined with the latest version rear chassis brace and 7075 tower. Think I went with the longest screws possible to tie the rear brace into the bulkhead. I use to run a custom tower to tower brace, but ended up destroying both bulkheads in a single bad wreck 😱. It acted like a battering ram.
@@richduperbash2966 thanks the the reply! Yup I'm running longer screws captured by nuts on the opposite end this time, hoping it holds up better 👍 Your vids sold me on the MT410 and it's been a blast
Tdogg916 RC Bashing yeah she's a SICK jumper no doubt!!! Missed having you out there bro, sometime soon I hope. Hope the Tekno diffs fit your hybrid. Have a feeling these diffs are top grade metal.👍👍😵😵😵😲🙋👊👊
Damn man that was awesome just launching that truck. It looked tekno tough to me for sure. So the milllion dollar question is it better than the outcast or kraton in your opinion I love the videos keep them coming
Anthony Arnold thanks bro. I wouldn't compare it to the Kraton only because of the difference in wheel base with the Kraton BEAST. The 2 rigs handle completely different by their very design and stance. I'd venture to say lots of people may not truly enjoy the SWB platform as a "better" pick then the Kraton platform for their specific tastes. I LOVE bashing both platforms and switching off even mid bash between rigs. In comparing the Tekno and Outcast of similar stance and dimensions, I'd say "better" depends on interpretation and taste as well as overall value. The MT is so much lighter that it may be harder to control for some, despite its butter smooth driveline and handling. I really love ALL my ARRMAS and have very quickly fallen in love with the MT. There's no question that Tekno put serious thought into this awesome kit with design and higher end parts, but it's too early for me to make a more global assessment. The Tekno definitely gets the nod for 4s speed and plush suspension/crisp handling. The diffs, chassis, towers, and arms all seem superior in strength also, but more field "testing" again needed. I plan to touch on this much more with detailed comparisons between the two, but need to learn this Tekno ANIMAL a bit more first. Thrilled with it after 2 bashes, but like the wife, wasn't ready to marry her after the second date...Lol. That said, does look like you get the quality and performance you're paying for with this BADASS MT410. I'm EXTREMELY impressed thus far. Just wondering if the MT is currently in a class of it's own. Will say flat out, it's definitely a quicker basher. But thrills come in different forms for everyone and FUN and personal taste is so subjective. Not trying to be vague, just sorting my own thoughts about them still. 👍👍🤔🤔🤔😵😵😲😱😱👊👊
Nice 6s bashing! I'm not sure if it's just the big Trenchers I'm using, but I overheat the motor and ESC on 4s and I'm using a 1700KV motor/15 tooth pinion. I put some fans on and that helped, but I think I'll try some smaller tires even though I like the characteristics of the bigger tires more. Do you check temps at the end of the bash too? Are you using a square piece of aluminum stock for the tower to tower brace? I bent one like that and then went to a square piece of steel stock. I have no plans on that bending.:)
Stewdogg Stew thanks Stew, what an AWESOME basher this rig is!!! Yeah if your ESC is rated high amps and no rolling or drivetrain resistance, my guess would be the Trenchers making it toasty perhaps. I'm also wondering if that high torque motor is actually undergeared with 15 tooth, may carefully sample a bigger pinion just to see. My tower brace is actually C- channel aluminum that's intended to fit 1/4" plywood edges from Home Depot. Been running the same material on the Kraton and it's taken a serious beating...Lol. Going back to bigger wheels next bash, probably Backflips again on 6s with a 16 tooth pinion. Checked my temps three times without issue. Hottest motor temp was my goal of 150, ESC maybe 128 max. LOVE this MT man, excited to really get the shocks tuned to my liking. Plan on running 800/55 weight up front and sticking with 700 rear for now.👍👍🙋🙋😵😵😵😲😱👊👊
Yeah, I have some tuning to do on mine too:) I guess I might try a bigger pinion and/or some Backflips I had a C-channel on my MT410 first and bent it on both sides, that's why I went to square stock instead. So, are you going to stay with 6s? It really is a very fun truck!
Stewdogg Stew I'm planning on staying 6s for now, but we'll see. Fortunately, my tower brace held up fine, just glad it was ON...Lol!!! Going to gear down from 18 to 16 and try the Backflips again on 6s. Figure I'll just feather the throttle and keep an eye on the temps, but still most impressed with stock Arrma BLX185 electronics. The Savox servo was a much needed upgrade. LOVING this MT no doubt, great FUN rig all around.👍👍😁😁😵
same issue here stew i am running therx8 gen 3 with the 1900 kv on 4s 16 tooth with the 3.8 badlands mx38 after 8minutes on a rc track it stopped motor wires came off motor was at 280 degrees going to get the tekin truggy motor
Crazy Air that Truck can get!! Just Amazing!!! it doesn't run hot with a 18t pinion? if so.....whats a good size to run on it? this is Gonna be my Next Truck!!
twrecks116 It is sorta nuts how high and far these rigs can handle being launched so long as the landing goes OK...Lol. Your final pinion choice really depends on 4s vs 6s voltage, motor size/kv, and wheel choice. 2000kv is really about perfect IMHO. 16-18 tooth is generally OK, but I check my temps and gear up to about 150F motor. The BLX185 motor did great. Now running the Max 8 2200kv combo and it's a bit tall for anything beyond 16-17 tooth even with hard 4s running and bigger MT wheels. 🙋🙋😵😵😵😲😲💪👊👊
Christopher Pham thanks brother 👊!!! They're all great rigs, but I'd probably recommend either the Outcast or Kraton for pure durability and value. The Kraton is more stable all around and the ultimate HUGE air Beast. The Outcast is MAD fun and more challenging to control. Flips and wheelies very easily. Both are highly capable no doubt. The Kraton is better for really high speed bashing though. 🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
I get well happy when I get a notification when you upload a new video Love your driving skills brother iv got the outcast and talion v3 thunder tiger mt4 just don’t no what to get next tekno mt410 or kraton your advice would be appreciated Thanks
72nivo it would fit, but it's a bit wider than the C-10 body and with the narrow Tekno chassis would likely have much greater wind drag and parachute effect with really big or high speed jumps. Aside from that, ARRMA charges too much for the Outcast body. I refuse to pay for a replacement unless I could score a screaming deal somewhere...Lol. Ohhh and this jump park is actually pretty addicting. I try not to go too often cuz she's a parts breaker that spot. 👍👍😲😲😵😵😱👊
Never mind I read another comment that pretty much answered this. I would definitely be interested in seeing an outcast/mt410 comparison/shootout video!
Norcopunk yeah that jump was a mystery until about 3 hours ago...Lol. Went there a bit ago to do a MT vs Outcast vid with my buddy Tdogg, but had electrical issues with both rigs!!! WTF!!! In any case, appears someone had shoveled out the corner of that jump I hit to gap onto the 2nd mound, but left a HUGE outcropped rock ledge on the lip. Must have snagged the front of the MT and sent her ass over tea kettle...Lol!!! I kept wondering how she flipped so crazily off that jump face, but never looked at it. In any case, need to get electronics sorted and will do a shoot out vid. Tonight was a HUGE bummer, was testing Big Rock wheels on the MT on 6s and one starting coming unglued before the motor stopped running. Thing BLX 185 ESC is crapping out, set button no longer working....????? MT410 is BADASS fun no doubt, but Outcast is no slouch either, just a bit "chunkier". More to follow soon bro.👍👍😵😵😵😲😱🙋🙋👊
Fiery it really is a great concept, especially with interchangeable parts and RIPPING fun SWB design. I'd hope more RC brands take note and start offering similar platforms. The more interest and competition the better to keep driving development and giving us bashers more options.👍👍😵😵😵😲😲😱🙋🙋👊
man what an awesome truck! and driving! that thing's a jet fuelled sky rocket! those jump's are insane and that rc's gonna take your skills to the next level👍👍👍👍👊👊👊👊😨😵😅
Pain in the RC thanks so much brother, still need to adjust a bit to her lighter weight and nuances a bit, but the truck is a RIPPER no doubt!!! Will play around with the tuning a bit and get some heavier tires back on next go. Couldn't rotate/flip and make corrections fast enough mid-air for my driving style and missed having the extra tire cushion on the bigger jumps. VERY fast/capable rig indeed!!! 👍👍😵😵😵😱😱😲👊
Great video! I am intending to have a 410 too, just see good comments. You found the Badlands very light, right? Which tires do you think work well for this Tekno? My use, in due proportion, is similar to yours, 😂 basically bashing on skate parks...
Dear God rich!!!!! lmao!! lol dude ..wha.. lol OMG what a ruff and ready bash holy smokes can anyone say blatent rc abuse lol that's the only truck on the market that can take that kind of abuse and keep going..I mean yeah that last one did it but geez gadda give tekno their due ..I can't wait for another tekno basher I know I love mine ..just waiting on my cnc metal spur to get in myself ..keep um coming rich!!
Rc Rehab thanks brother...Lol. Yeah I figured out how I flew so CRAZY off that real punisher launch. Someone had shoveled out the face of that jump and left a HUGE rock outcropping at the lip of it!!! I'm talking about it in the follow up vid and end up pulling it out. Went there today with my Truggified Typhon and gave her an equal beating...Lol.. testing Mamba X ESC with 2200 motor. Yeah Matt from Tekno told me to be a little rough with the MT, that was my plan anyway. She's an awesome basher no doubt!!!! Definitely opened my eyes to Tekno quality and design. More to come for sure, but LOVING the MT handling, quickness, and pure FUN FACTOR.👍👍🙋🙋😵😵😲😱👊👊
what are your thoughts on this in comparison to the Kraton EXB? I want to build a truck with my son, EXB was my first though, but the more I learn about the MT410 the more I like it. You've used both, in your opinion how do they compare? He's 11 btw, probably too much truck but YOLO. 🤣. He would love the MT body over the truggy, but I want to go with what handles the best and is most fun and usable.
Both are good options 👍. Just realize Tekno hasn't revised this platform in almost 4 years. The MT41O is light and nimble with it's race borrowed parts. It's durable to a point, but has plastic braces and very thin driveshafts. The diff housings don't lock the input bearings in as well as ARRMA's metal shielded cases. I would opt for the EXB no question. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Thanks brother 👊!!!! I think I've seen it. My Tekno is very solid now with the M2C Widebody 7075 chassis and M2C Mega and Go Big bracing. Appreciate the tip though 👌😎💪👊👊
When you say "wheel mass" does that affect you being able to do backflips? The reason I ask is I put my smaller badlands on my Hobao hyper MT and it is harder to backflip with them.
Adam Baker exactly. The smaller and lighter the wheels, the harder it is to correct in mid-air and do flips with. The taller wheels mean more top speed as well, but you have to watch temps cuz it's basically like gearing up. The heavier the wheel mass, the more potential strain on your electronics. I like the offset of the smaller Badlands 3.8 and for 6s ripping, but they definitely don't flip as easy as the bigger Backflips.👍👍😵😵😵😲😱😎👊👊
Rich Duperbash awesome thanks.i have a set of rc4wd 40 series mudslingers. I tried them on an EMaxx and they tore the diffs up. Learned my lesson. They are more for a summit or a big crawler.
Adam Baker no problem bro. Glad you mentioned the diffs. Bigger wheels definitely put more strain on them and the servo. Still can't say enough good things about the Backflip tires though. The rubber compound has perfect grip and slip, much longer lasting and less ballooning than Proline IMHO.👍👍👊
niuniu1985 thanks so much brother!!! I'm not sure on height, but will say the Tekno gets up there pretty darn high. These jumps are MX size and can really launch you at speed...Lol. Happy bashing my friend!!! 🙋🙋😲😲😲😱😵😵💪👊👊
your videos are amazing, and the field you are bashing at is definitely dope!! everytime you or your friend's truck lands and made those huge slap sound, it gets me super excited, you are a true basher!! this is awesome!!
niuniu1985 thanks so much for the kind words brother!!! I definitely feel lucky to have a bash spot like this. Just so much FUN to send them off these big gap jumps and berms. 😱😱😎💪👊👊
_kekz_13 _ I stopped running it awhile back after a disasterous rear tower hit. It was probably a fluke cuz my body was fairly trashed and cavitated into the tower on the ground. My tower to tower brace acted as a battering ram and blew out my front bulkhead with the rear impact. Lots of repair work no doubt 😱. I had been using a piece of aluminum channel trim from Home Depot. It's designed to trim edges of 1/4" plywood. It worked in protecting the center driveline and supporting the stock plastic chassis supports. I've since gone to using M2C Racing upgrades. Great stuff that definitely works as it should. Rear chassis and lower tower support has been flawless. About to order their center to front support right now. My Tekno is down for a full rebuild at the moment. PS, if you want to see the carnage, watch the "Shockwaves 3.8" Tekno vid from months ago.😨😨😨😎💪👊👊
Daniel Navarro that crossed my mind prior to ever getting the MT, but the stock ARRMA BLX185 ESC doesn't recognize 5s properly and causes premature shutdown or voltage cut-off. You can switch ESC to NiMH mode and run an external cut-off alarm, but I don't own any 5s packs to try it. 6s on the MT is really overpowered, but I'm fine with it, just need to adapt and overcome and let the tires get some grab. I really enjoy driving my completely overpowered Backslash. Makes it more challenging and has crazy Boost you can use in careful doses when the stars(wheels) align just right...Lol. 🙋🙋👍😵😵😵😲😱👊👊
Both power systems haul ass with the right gearing. Tough question to answer 🤔. If you keep the truck light, the 2200 has awesome top end and rips on 4s. It gets hot on 6s in warmer weather no question. If you think you'll eventually go 6s, the BLX would be my choice. Otherwise either motor can be geared to rip on 4s.
Scorpion thanks bro, just bashing them how I like to, hard and fast...Lol. Will say this MT is SUPER fun and has definitely earned my respect in the durability department.👍👍😵😵😵😲😱👊
Crespo RC thanks much my friend!!! Tekno has a great design with higher end components that focuses attention to the high stress areas. I realized during the build how much attention went into this. Still wouldn't trust not using tower brace as the rear chassis support system looks inadequate for MEGA airs IMHO. 👍👍💪😱😱😱💪😲👊👊
Keifer P. yes Sir, meant to mention they're taped with 2" Gorilla tape so no ballooning on 6s power. The traction and offset worked great as did steering/handling, but I really favor a bigger wheel closer to the Backflips for more wheel mass and cushion for really big jumps and faster mid-air corrections.👍👍😵😵😵😱😲💪👊👊
hey rich, i got the same(badlands 3.8) for my mt410 but wanted to know if you consider trying the Pro-Line PRO1012713 Badlands MX38 3.8 inch All Ter Tires and gorilla taped?
melbourne e. adams jr. no cuz I think they're too much tire for this platform. Thinking Backflips may be the ticket, but need to do further "testing"...Lol. If the MX38s were a bit smaller and lighter I'd be all over them!!! 👍👍😵😵😵😲😱👊👊
tommyd3jr yeah she's Crazy light for her stance...Lol. 6s definitely takes a steady trigger finger with light throttle inputs. With those smaller Badlands and a light 6s brick, definitely was very easy to over throttle and spin out. Think she needs more tire/wheel mass next outing and maybe a heavier pack. Still getting her tuned/dialed, but the FUN FACTOR is really starting to shine.👍👍😀😀😵😵😵😲🙋🙋👊👊
Rich Duperbash more wheel mass will help with grip but at the same time ur not gonna be able to keep that nose down.. Like yourself and our boy Gary i too run the Badlands 40 series and for me they're the best for that rig bro.. i had a set of Rock rages' and tried the tires off my old Rival and both had too much weight-mass and just didn't work for me and the terrain I bash on.. too wild in the air and keeping the nose down was a chore! and i run 4s bro (20tooth pinion, mamba monster X esc w/ 2200kv Castle motor).. the badlands don't look the best but in my opinion they're the best for that rig that I've found so far.. whatever u decide i will be watching bro
tommyd3jr thanks so much brother, that sounds like a nice combo you're running, must RIP ON 4s!!! Really appreciate the solid, first hand feedback bud. I'm going to experiment some no doubt. I'll probably build and tape a new wheel set on F11 3.8s, LOVE the offset of those and the Desperados. Just wishing there was a smaller MX38 style tire, think they'd be perfect. May turn my punch down and tune the shocks more to help control wheelie's. Committed to making a slightly heavier/taller wheel combo with more cushion that still offers easy chassis slap. We'll see how it plays out.👍👍🤔🤔😵😵😲😱👊👊🙋
In stock form for mild to moderate bashing, the Tekno is arguably stronger 🤔. Upgraded Tekno vs upgraded ARRMA, I'd go with an ARRMA for hardcore bashing personally. The Tekno has weak driveshafts that bend easily, narrow chassis with too many inlays, and inferior diff cases. It's overpriced for what you get in the kit and replacement parts are the same. 😎💪👊👊
Guy Rose I'm using my basic Tactic ttx300 that comes with the Arrma 6s rigs. It's simple, light, comfortable in the hand, and has great range. Best part, they're only like 30$ off eBay. I've yet to be enticed by more sophisticated offerings. 😎💪👊👊
iam theoutcast thanks brother 👊!!! Too funny, I'm planning on wrenching on the MT this evening. Putting in a Mamba Monster X ESC with the 1515 2200kv non sensored Castle motor to run on 4s. She's due for a rebuild anyways. 🤘🤘😵😵😨😎💪👊👊
Hey rich you know anyone that would trade me a brandnew kraton strait up for my outcast it's brandnew in the box never hit the dirt at all like it just came from the hobby shop?
Derek Quinones not off the top of my head, but I'd join the ARRMA forum and offer it in either the Kraton or Outcast thread section or classified area. I'm sure someone would trade you. 👍👍
that air was insane! not another rc out there that would walk away from that! good job
tommyd3jr thanks brother, definitely think your right about that one.👍👍😵😵😲😲😱👊👊
It has massive power on 6S, can almost correct any bad landings.
Superb video, and excellent air footage.
Peter Weber thanks so much bro!!! I keep missing messages...Lol. Power on 6s is CRAZY which might suit me just fine once I dial her in a bit more.👍👍😵😵😵😲😱😎👊👊
Well that definately just sold it for me. Awesome bash and mega air.
Cheers from Oz.
Trent Marlowe thanks so much man. This rig is a BEAST!!! Extremely fun and durable with great handling and tuneability. Could become my favorite basher, we'll see.👍👍🙋🙋🙋😲😲😱👊
Wow that was awesome , you were sending that thing flying!!! Damn I can't wait till I'm done building my MT410
Midwest Boss thanks man, the MT is a friggin BEAST!!! Can honestly say she flies as far as my sleek overgeared Truggified Typhon even with a truck body and some parachute effect. Really is an insane high speed basher. LOVE it my friend.👍👍😵😵😵😱😲👊👊
Rich Duperbash I love the C10 body and color you did, looks great 👍 , do you think 6s is too much or did you like it? Thanks
Midwest Boss I definitely liked it, but that was with smaller wheels. Need to gear down a bit and try it with the Backflips again. Thinking I'll likely stay on 6s though and tailor my trigger finger to make it work...Lol.👍👍😵
thats is a bad ass beast that was some sick air nice run love your vids
Anthony Van Vorst thanks so much bro, really appreciate that!!! This rig is a BEAST no doubt, growing on me very quickly. Looking forward to getting her further dialed in with a bit more time and tuning. 👍👍😵😵😱😲🙋🙋👊👊
Sick bash my friend and wow you are really giving this truck a good testing/beating. Awesome video once again and yeah famous last words " one more jump" lol great stuff Rich
KillerOffRoadHobbyz thanks brother, hope you're still feeling better bro. Yeah I'm LOVING the MT no doubt!!! Really am use to more wheel mass and cushion then the Badlands provide, but had awesome fun either way. Truck takes a great beating no doubt, that last jump/flail was just too much. Bought new caps at LHS and straightened shaft and steering link in the vice, good as new again right after bash...Lol. Hope we can hook up again soon brother.👍👍🏋🏋😵😵😵😲😱🙋👊
Awesome bashing & jumping, you got a BEAST, One Luv!
mtctookie25 thanks so much, this Tekno has been very impressive so far!!! Still experimenting with gearing, tires, and overall setup, but WICKED FUN basher. Appreciate the comment, definitely deserving of BEAST status this MT410.👍👍😵😵😵😲😱🙋👊👊
Yes Sir, i agree!
Once again killer bash, I'm thinking about picking up mt410 but I think it should have come with aluminum caps and some kind of grab bar like the Kraton or savage to protect the body from roof landings but never the less looks like a solid truck!
corey kurtz just grab it up! it's in a league of its own man.. I've been RCing for 20+ years and it's the best kit-rig I've ever owned.. so durable it's weird lol! the kraton is a good truck and i still own one but they don't even compare dude, mt410 is so much better at everything.. might be alittle more $ at the register but the kraton will cost u far more in the long run
corey kurtz thanks much bro!!! Yeah I'd score her a 9 or 10 if the kit came with metal spur and shock caps. I'm not surprised the cap blew off, but must say that flail landing was BRUTAL!!! Yeah an integrated body support would be nice and practical no doubt. Will say the MT is a friggin BEAST and a pleasure to bash. Don't think you'd regret getting one anyway.👍👍😵😵😵😲😲😱😱👊
Hey man I kept seeing the RC World talk about Rich Duperbash LOL...and decided to take a look. Gotta say your a cool, humble in depth RC ENTHUSIAST and I had to subscribe. I'm not a basher, but if I decided to start your the guy I'd go to for advice and bash with for sure. Thanks for these great RC videos, love your responses to the RC COMMUNITY, LEGIT! :-)
Tom Tracks thanks so much bro, really appreciate the kind words. I'm continually amazed by how durable and capable these bashers are and also by how willing people involved in RC are to share info/insights and help one another truly enjoy this awesome hobby. Much appreciated my friend.👍👍😵😵😵😲😱🙋👊👊
Damn...I'm loving this truck,lol. Nice vid brah.
Brandon Cooper thanks man she's definitely a bashing BEAST!!! Still amazed by the handling, toughness, and plain FUN FACTOR!!!👍👍😵😵😵😲😲😱👊
That truck is wild on 6s. cool video
Thanks Casey 👊!!! The MT410 rips on 6s 👀. Does great geared up on 4s too. 😎💪👊👊
Awesome viewing as always ! I like hearing about your trying different setups etc. I've just finished building my ET48.3 ! Just the body to paint. Waiting on my Dboots Backflips to arrive. I'm gunna struggle with getting it dirty to start with ! Have fun cheers for now 👍
RC OFF-ROAD DOWNUNDER thanks man, much appreciated!!! That's awesome about the ET48. I really enjoy trying different setups, love wrenching as much as bashing...Lol. Don't love cutting out or painting bodies, now I just hammer through it, knowing the body's getting trashed soon... Lol.👍👍😵😵😵😲😱👊👊
Rich Duperbash Must say I'm the same... love the wrenching part. I'm actually in the the middle of painting my body now... taking far too much care ! These Tekno bodies are quite thin, can't see it lasting long... just need it to look nice for a photo and that's about it haha !
Sick bash Rich. Killing the Tekno. Love it man. Keep up the great bashing 👍👍👍👍
Kenny Melanko thanks Kenny, she's a super fun basher and blazing fast. Going to take a few packs to harness her full potential, but VERY impressed with this kit. Need to get more wheel mass back on her for my driving style off the bigger jumps, but ridiculously FUN rig, props to TEKNO. 👍👍💪😵😵😵😲😲😱🙋🙋👊
Rich Duperbash yea Tekno def makes some good stuff for sure. I want one lol
Kenny Melanko yeah it doesn't break when you just look at it wrong...Lol!!! Just playing bro.👍👍😵
Rich Duperbash haha. I bet it doesn't lol. Love the Tekno
awesome bash bro 👍 looked like pure fun and it holds up strong took some good landings nice video 👊
Rc Fun thanks brother, definitely took some jacked landings from pretty high up....Lol. Most certainly impressed with the overall durability and performance of this lightweight BEAST. FUN for days this rig is. Looking forward to getting her all dialed in with more setup and tuning. Very impressed with this Tekno no doubt!!! 🙋🙋👍😵😵😵😲😱👊👊
Whoooo.... Of all the bash videos I have seen this is definitely the one that is hardest on the car. The MT410 is apparently on a different level durability-wise.
Kristoffer Rydquist thanks brother 👊. The MT410 really is extremely durable overall. It's lighter, compact design and quality components really helps it hold together quite well. Happy bashing my friend!!!🍻🙋🙋😲😲😲😵😎💪👊👊
P.s I just ordered the T-Bone racing wheelie bar for my MT410
KillerOffRoadHobbyz good to know bro. Does it replace the bumper entirely?👍👍
I ordered one too. The rear bumper has given me some trouble but it's the only thing. The rest of the truck is cut from a single block of antimantium. I'm impressed. Other than having to get a new body every 20 packs its perfect. lol. My body is just getting jacked and its fully reinforced. The wheelie bar replaces only the large actual rear bumper. The other two smaller pieces remain and are used to secure the new wheelie bar.
Most of it but not all
Great bash bro. The truck took a ton of hard shots and kept going. That last hard shot was brutal. I'm surprised the whole front end did not get grenaded. I think Tekno has built a truck that is near the limit of durability with current technology and materials. It's quite a feat. The guys at Tekno said the tires they most often recommend are the ones you were running. I think tire choice is a lot like shock tuning. It's always a compromise.
bierstadt77 yeah I edited out some regular jumps to show some bad ones and illustrate it's durability. Vid was just too long otherwise...Lol. Yeah it's definitely a BEAST. Did realize that really bad landing actually tweaked the A arm plastic a bit, just noticed last night, sort of twisted and buckled it, but no cracks!!! Don't plan on flailing like that again, but crap happens. Any other RC would likely have taken that hit MUCH worse. The Badlands 3.8 are nice cuz they also allow good chassis slap, but I really need more tire cushion and wheel mass for my style of bashing. Hoping to find a perfect size soon. Backflip tires definitely do not allow easy chassis slap, I've noticed. Probably putting excessive strain on the arms, towers, and shocks. Still getting this rig dialed in no doubt.👍👍😵😵😵😲🙋👊👊
Rich Duperbash Here is my 15 pack report on my MT410. I love it. It's super fun and overall very durable. I've have had some problems which I'll list. 1. Bent two sets of long screws that hold rear bumper on. 2. Broke 2 body posts. 3. Badly damaged the plastic piece that holds the rear body posts on. 4. Completely destroyed a heavily reinforced body. 5. Replaced rear diff case because of bent screws (May not have been necessary). I've reordered a new and different body. The proline raptor body is no good. I would avoid it. I also think the rear bumper design needs some improvement. It basically was damaged after 3 packs. It collapses on itself and becomes distorted very quickly. I have installed the T Bone rear wheelie bar and it seems to be solid and is doing its job well. I recommend it. The truck is still drivable with the damaged stock bumper but it provides little protection once damaged. In addition, the body mounting system is kinda weak imo. It may be the raptor body though. It is ill suited to this truck. I have had to spend some money to keep the Mt410 up and running but I've also driven it pretty hard too. I still think it's the highest quality, toughest truck available. It's super smooth and fast and handles really well considering its short wheelbase. I've had some heat issues as well but that is not really the trucks fault. I'm still working out the temp issues and have ordered a lower kv motor to run with the big trenchers.
bierstadt77 thanks much for the feedback. I also believe it's a wonderful truck with awesome handling, blazing speed, and very impressive durability. I have way less packs in her, but have found some vulnerabilities too. That brutal take off and landing (actually hit a rock outcropping off that jump face) twisted/buckled the same side A-arm pretty badly, enough to bend the sway bar and slightly alter the final wheel position. Really wouldn't expect any RC to withstand that honestly, surprised it didn't snap...Lol!!! Rear bumper fairly tweaked after first bash but still functional. Bent right rear driveshaft enough to have to straighten. Small both sides crack to rear diff case at upper attachment to tower, just next to rear plastic chassis support. I never noticed it until after the 2nd bash, but recall not having a tower to tower brace on the first bash to better support this. Like I mentioned prior, no RC in unbreakable, but this Tekno is VERY durable. The body posts don't fit very snuggly and could be impoved no doubt. All in all, love the design and performance of this rig, but she does have pretty thin driveshafts and atleast some potential weak spots with really big air/harder bashing. 👍👍😵😵😲👊👊
Awesome bash brother that's truck is definitely bad ass, body looks good too bro happy bashing man👍👍✌
12R1 thanks brother, it truly is a BADASS basher. I'm glad the C-10 body fit her cuz it's fairly priced and will definitely take a beating...Lol. I've always liked metallic blue!!! Happy bashing bro.👍👍🙋🙋😵😵😵😲😱👊👊
Hey rich glenn here havnt spoke 4 a while i nearly have my channel ready to go about 2 weeks away! great to see you got the mt 410 just a splendid machine! i went all out and put 1717 and mamba x in mine! the motor is so big i had to put esc on top of receiver box😂😃👍💪!! cant wait to start channel its been a work in progress i have made a studio witch has been a bit involved but almost there just need to decide on camera computer and edit software!! anyway nice bash there was some serious jumps landed there but thats nothing unexpected we all no what is in-stored when we click on rich duperbash 😀😁😂! see ya soon Glenn
GLENN WALKER that's awesome bud, good to hear no doubt. Let me know when the channel is up. Really digging the MT so far, still courting my new girl...Lol!!! Should have her dialed/tuned for my needs soon, but very impressed to say the least.👍👍😵😵😵🙋🙋🙋😲😲😱👊👊
Nice bash bro...A+++ for durability...BASH-IT BRO
RCbashing the KRATON thanks brother, she's wicked FUN and tough no doubt. Glad the rock ledge on that jump face I found didn't rip the front end off...Lol. Tried running her yesterday with heavier Big Rock wheels and ESC crapped out, wasn't even warmed up yet, then Outcast ESC crapped. Set button isn't working on either of them and no throttle. May try Hobbywing max 8 combo. Just borrowed Andrew's Outcast ESC to get her up again. Do you happen to know if Hobbywing program card works on Arrma BLX ESCs???👍👍😵😵😲😱😱😎👊
do you think having punch up to ten has anything to do with it.. might be straining esc ... i only had issues with the one that caught fire.. that was because that jumper plug came loose on bash pryer and probably had voltage surge... them jumpers are nothing but trouble.. i would think the card would works on esc but never tried it... i keep my punch at 8
RCbashing the KRATON not sure bro, I backed my punch down to 7 like 2 months ago on my Outcast with Nero motor, and had this one at 7 too. I'd think quick throttle bursts would spike voltage surge, but both ESCs stopped working after landing fairly average jumps. Wondering if the circuit boards got damaged??? Just Crazy that it happened back to back within minutes of one another. Left me pissed and shaking my head...Lol. May just ship them to Arrma for warranty.👍👍🤔🤔👊
Yeeeeeeah bro, you did some terrific jumps here!!!🔝👊💪😎👍 The MT410 seems to be on a different level from the Outcast!!!🤔😁
2040 RC thanks much my friend. Yeah this rig is so light and agile in comparison to the Outcast, really demands different inputs on throttle and steering for sure. 6s was a bit challenging, but the smaller wheel mass this bash was the trickier part in getting the wheel spin and rotational timing down. The smaller Badlands are much less forgiving with hard landings and way slower to rotate and correct the rig midair...Lol. LOVE this MT so far, handles SICK like a race basher!!! Think once she's fully dialed in she'll be an another level no doubt. She speeds and flies much like my Truggified Typhon but with a higher CG and WIDE stance, unlike any rig I've bashed before. I'm impressed to say the least.👍👍💪😵😵😵😱😲👊👊
Rich Duperbash ok, it's official: I must find a Tekno's dealer here in Europe!!!😂😂😎
Rich Duperbash I could buy it in the States but unfortunately the import duties for extra EU countries are very high!!!🤔
Rich Duperbash btw I'm uploading our new video with the return of the Out-Krat in action!!!😂😂😂
2040 RC it's already a pricey kit in the States, not sure I'd spend extra for import costs. I'd shop eBay for something closer to home personally. Great truck no doubt, but total cost and then parts availability for you must be considered.👍👍
That truck could take some hard landing bro nice truck A+ 👍🏼
R/C CUSTOM thanks much brother!!! This MT410 is definitely a lightweight BEAST!!!👍👍💪🏋😵😵😵😲😱👊👊
WOOOWW!! this thing is a nasty bugger. building mines right now and waiting on parts to come in. nice bash rich. you need some seat time to adjust and i know you will get it real quick. bash on rc bro.
melbourne e. adams jr. thanks bro, I really enjoyed the build personally. Such race level parts and components, just beautiful!!! Really should've come with aluminum spur and shock caps, but it's all good. Yeah I couldn't get the quick rotations I wanted with the Badlands 3.8s, but she sure ripped the ground up and corners with them...Lol. Think with a bit more seat time this rig will allow for insane air maneuvering, just so dang light!!! Definitely LOVING IT, so far. Hope you enjoy it like I am when she's done. Tekno did awesome with this one.👍👍🙋🙋🙋😵😲😲😱😱👊💪
wooooooo. awesome awesome bashing bro. make me want to walk out of work right now and go bash. lol. 2 thumbs up. It is a little getting used to with 6s. I'm still trying to get used to it. she is light and just glides in the air. It can take a beating and keeps on going. you can't beat it. and it handles awesome. great job.
Family Fun R.C. oohhhh brother, couldn't agree more man, this MT is SICK!!! I often want to get out Bashing after watching other's vids too....Lol. Stuck at work myself. Yeah 6s definitely takes some feathering of the throttle, but sure screams something nice!!!👍👍😀😀😵😵😵😲😱🙋👊👊
You have beat the living hell out of this truckl your the very best unbelievable...thank you sharing
John Forbes thanks so much brother 😂!!! Yes, I have utterly abused my MT😨...Lol. It's finally getting a much needed rebuild. Should be faster and stronger than ever when I'm done with it. Appreciate the kind words John!!!🍻🤘🤘😵😵😵😲😎💪👊👊
How do your M2C braces hold up? Mine is all M2Cd but I find myself frequently snapping the 6971 tower braces and ripping the screws out of the rear bulkheads. I'm considering making a custom brace to run between the tops of the towers.
Overall my braces hold up well. I have bent or snapped the original 6971 part before, but not the V3 version combined with the latest version rear chassis brace and 7075 tower. Think I went with the longest screws possible to tie the rear brace into the bulkhead. I use to run a custom tower to tower brace, but ended up destroying both bulkheads in a single bad wreck 😱. It acted like a battering ram.
@@richduperbash2966 thanks the the reply! Yup I'm running longer screws captured by nuts on the opposite end this time, hoping it holds up better 👍
Your vids sold me on the MT410 and it's been a blast
wow bro Tha 410 flys in the air on 6s it's a beast I need to get out there soon bro nice homie 👍💪
Tdogg916 RC Bashing yeah she's a SICK jumper no doubt!!! Missed having you out there bro, sometime soon I hope. Hope the Tekno diffs fit your hybrid. Have a feeling these diffs are top grade metal.👍👍😵😵😵😲🙋👊👊
Damn man that was awesome just launching that truck. It looked tekno tough to me for sure. So the milllion dollar question is it better than the outcast or kraton in your opinion I love the videos keep them coming
Anthony Arnold thanks bro. I wouldn't compare it to the Kraton only because of the difference in wheel base with the Kraton BEAST. The 2 rigs handle completely different by their very design and stance. I'd venture to say lots of people may not truly enjoy the SWB platform as a "better" pick then the Kraton platform for their specific tastes. I LOVE bashing both platforms and switching off even mid bash between rigs. In comparing the Tekno and Outcast of similar stance and dimensions, I'd say "better" depends on interpretation and taste as well as overall value. The MT is so much lighter that it may be harder to control for some, despite its butter smooth driveline and handling. I really love ALL my ARRMAS and have very quickly fallen in love with the MT. There's no question that Tekno put serious thought into this awesome kit with design and higher end parts, but it's too early for me to make a more global assessment. The Tekno definitely gets the nod for 4s speed and plush suspension/crisp handling. The diffs, chassis, towers, and arms all seem superior in strength also, but more field "testing" again needed. I plan to touch on this much more with detailed comparisons between the two, but need to learn this Tekno ANIMAL a bit more first. Thrilled with it after 2 bashes, but like the wife, wasn't ready to marry her after the second date...Lol. That said, does look like you get the quality and performance you're paying for with this BADASS MT410. I'm EXTREMELY impressed thus far. Just wondering if the MT is currently in a class of it's own. Will say flat out, it's definitely a quicker basher. But thrills come in different forms for everyone and FUN and personal taste is so subjective. Not trying to be vague, just sorting my own thoughts about them still. 👍👍🤔🤔🤔😵😵😲😱😱👊👊
Nice 6s bashing! I'm not sure if it's just the big Trenchers I'm using, but I overheat the motor and ESC on 4s and I'm using a 1700KV motor/15 tooth pinion. I put some fans on and that helped, but I think I'll try some smaller tires even though I like the characteristics of the bigger tires more. Do you check temps at the end of the bash too?
Are you using a square piece of aluminum stock for the tower to tower brace? I bent one like that and then went to a square piece of steel stock. I have no plans on that bending.:)
Stewdogg Stew thanks Stew, what an AWESOME basher this rig is!!! Yeah if your ESC is rated high amps and no rolling or drivetrain resistance, my guess would be the Trenchers making it toasty perhaps. I'm also wondering if that high torque motor is actually undergeared with 15 tooth, may carefully sample a bigger pinion just to see. My tower brace is actually C- channel aluminum that's intended to fit 1/4" plywood edges from Home Depot. Been running the same material on the Kraton and it's taken a serious beating...Lol. Going back to bigger wheels next bash, probably Backflips again on 6s with a 16 tooth pinion. Checked my temps three times without issue. Hottest motor temp was my goal of 150, ESC maybe 128 max. LOVE this MT man, excited to really get the shocks tuned to my liking. Plan on running 800/55 weight up front and sticking with 700 rear for now.👍👍🙋🙋😵😵😵😲😱👊👊
Yeah, I have some tuning to do on mine too:) I guess I might try a bigger pinion and/or some Backflips
I had a C-channel on my MT410 first and bent it on both sides, that's why I went to square stock instead.
So, are you going to stay with 6s?
It really is a very fun truck!
Stewdogg Stew I'm planning on staying 6s for now, but we'll see. Fortunately, my tower brace held up fine, just glad it was ON...Lol!!! Going to gear down from 18 to 16 and try the Backflips again on 6s. Figure I'll just feather the throttle and keep an eye on the temps, but still most impressed with stock Arrma BLX185 electronics. The Savox servo was a much needed upgrade. LOVING this MT no doubt, great FUN rig all around.👍👍😁😁😵
same issue here stew i am running therx8 gen 3 with the 1900 kv on 4s 16 tooth with the 3.8 badlands mx38 after 8minutes on a rc track it stopped motor wires came off motor was at 280 degrees going to get the tekin truggy motor
Crazy Air that Truck can get!! Just Amazing!!! it doesn't run hot with a 18t pinion? if so.....whats a good size to run on it? this is Gonna be my Next Truck!!
twrecks116 It is sorta nuts how high and far these rigs can handle being launched so long as the landing goes OK...Lol. Your final pinion choice really depends on 4s vs 6s voltage, motor size/kv, and wheel choice. 2000kv is really about perfect IMHO. 16-18 tooth is generally OK, but I check my temps and gear up to about 150F motor. The BLX185 motor did great. Now running the Max 8 2200kv combo and it's a bit tall for anything beyond 16-17 tooth even with hard 4s running and bigger MT wheels. 🙋🙋😵😵😵😲😲💪👊👊
truck is gnarley on 6s Brah!
Keifer P. indeed my friend.👍👍🙋🙋😵😵😱😲👊👊
You got on this truck hard! Nice bash! If you could only buy one truck, would you get the new v3 Outcast, v3 Kraton, or Tekno MT410?
Christopher Pham thanks brother 👊!!! They're all great rigs, but I'd probably recommend either the Outcast or Kraton for pure durability and value. The Kraton is more stable all around and the ultimate HUGE air Beast. The Outcast is MAD fun and more challenging to control. Flips and wheelies very easily. Both are highly capable no doubt. The Kraton is better for really high speed bashing though. 🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
Thanks for the honest feedback Rich! I'm still waiting for the new Arrma's to come out, I'm leaning towards the Outcast at this point.
Christopher Pham no problem brother 👊. The Outcast is a great all around basher. 😎💪👊👊
I get well happy when I get a notification when you upload a new video
Love your driving skills brother iv got the outcast and talion v3 thunder tiger mt4 just don’t no what to get next tekno mt410 or kraton your advice would be appreciated
Thanks
Always love the jump park must be addictive!! Does the Outcast body fit on it ? It's so tough and would look sweet !!
72nivo it would fit, but it's a bit wider than the C-10 body and with the narrow Tekno chassis would likely have much greater wind drag and parachute effect with really big or high speed jumps. Aside from that, ARRMA charges too much for the Outcast body. I refuse to pay for a replacement unless I could score a screaming deal somewhere...Lol. Ohhh and this jump park is actually pretty addicting. I try not to go too often cuz she's a parts breaker that spot. 👍👍😲😲😵😵😱👊
Wow that was a brutal hit.. So what are your thoughts on this vs the outcast? What is more fun to drive and is the price difference worth it?
Never mind I read another comment that pretty much answered this. I would definitely be interested in seeing an outcast/mt410 comparison/shootout video!
Norcopunk yeah that jump was a mystery until about 3 hours ago...Lol. Went there a bit ago to do a MT vs Outcast vid with my buddy Tdogg, but had electrical issues with both rigs!!! WTF!!! In any case, appears someone had shoveled out the corner of that jump I hit to gap onto the 2nd mound, but left a HUGE outcropped rock ledge on the lip. Must have snagged the front of the MT and sent her ass over tea kettle...Lol!!! I kept wondering how she flipped so crazily off that jump face, but never looked at it. In any case, need to get electronics sorted and will do a shoot out vid. Tonight was a HUGE bummer, was testing Big Rock wheels on the MT on 6s and one starting coming unglued before the motor stopped running. Thing BLX 185 ESC is crapping out, set button no longer working....????? MT410 is BADASS fun no doubt, but Outcast is no slouch either, just a bit "chunkier". More to follow soon bro.👍👍😵😵😵😲😱🙋🙋👊
losi needs to make a 1/8 monster truck based on the 8ight now. I love that buggy
Fiery it really is a great concept, especially with interchangeable parts and RIPPING fun SWB design. I'd hope more RC brands take note and start offering similar platforms. The more interest and competition the better to keep driving development and giving us bashers more options.👍👍😵😵😵😲😲😱🙋🙋👊
man what an awesome truck! and driving! that thing's a jet fuelled sky rocket! those jump's are insane and that rc's gonna take your skills to the next level👍👍👍👍👊👊👊👊😨😵😅
Pain in the RC thanks so much brother, still need to adjust a bit to her lighter weight and nuances a bit, but the truck is a RIPPER no doubt!!! Will play around with the tuning a bit and get some heavier tires back on next go. Couldn't rotate/flip and make corrections fast enough mid-air for my driving style and missed having the extra tire cushion on the bigger jumps. VERY fast/capable rig indeed!!! 👍👍😵😵😵😱😱😲👊
Great video!
I am intending to have a 410 too, just see good comments.
You found the Badlands very light, right? Which tires do you think work well for this Tekno?
My use, in due proportion, is similar to yours, 😂 basically bashing on skate parks...
Thanks so much Brother 👊!!!! Yes, the Badlands 3.8 are light, but a great wheel for the MT410. 😎💪👊👊
Thanks for the attention Rich. Your jumps are amazing! Greetings from Brazil!
Dear God rich!!!!! lmao!! lol dude ..wha.. lol OMG what a ruff and ready bash holy smokes can anyone say blatent rc abuse lol that's the only truck on the market that can take that kind of abuse and keep going..I mean yeah that last one did it but geez gadda give tekno their due ..I can't wait for another tekno basher I know I love mine ..just waiting on my cnc metal spur to get in myself ..keep um coming rich!!
Rc Rehab thanks brother...Lol. Yeah I figured out how I flew so CRAZY off that real punisher launch. Someone had shoveled out the face of that jump and left a HUGE rock outcropping at the lip of it!!! I'm talking about it in the follow up vid and end up pulling it out. Went there today with my Truggified Typhon and gave her an equal beating...Lol.. testing Mamba X ESC with 2200 motor. Yeah Matt from Tekno told me to be a little rough with the MT, that was my plan anyway. She's an awesome basher no doubt!!!! Definitely opened my eyes to Tekno quality and design. More to come for sure, but LOVING the MT handling, quickness, and pure FUN FACTOR.👍👍🙋🙋😵😵😲😱👊👊
Awesome vid bro .l need to get me a MT looks like 👍
Thanks Brother 👊
what are your thoughts on this in comparison to the Kraton EXB? I want to build a truck with my son, EXB was my first though, but the more I learn about the MT410 the more I like it. You've used both, in your opinion how do they compare? He's 11 btw, probably too much truck but YOLO. 🤣. He would love the MT body over the truggy, but I want to go with what handles the best and is most fun and usable.
Both are good options 👍. Just realize Tekno hasn't revised this platform in almost 4 years. The MT41O is light and nimble with it's race borrowed parts. It's durable to a point, but has plastic braces and very thin driveshafts. The diff housings don't lock the input bearings in as well as ARRMA's metal shielded cases. I would opt for the EXB no question. 🍻😎💪👊👊
Awesome whip 👍
TboneNYC10 thanks bro, that last flail jump left a bruise, but nothing the vice couldn't fix plus a new shock cap...Lol.👍👍😵😵😵😲😱👊👊
You know tekno makes a upper chassis brace I seen it on eBay for like 40 bucks wasn’t sure if you knew ?
Thanks brother 👊!!!! I think I've seen it. My Tekno is very solid now with the M2C Widebody 7075 chassis and M2C Mega and Go Big bracing. Appreciate the tip though 👌😎💪👊👊
Do you have extention on the techno as well
When you say "wheel mass" does that affect you being able to do backflips? The reason I ask is I put my smaller badlands on my Hobao hyper MT and it is harder to backflip with them.
Adam Baker exactly. The smaller and lighter the wheels, the harder it is to correct in mid-air and do flips with. The taller wheels mean more top speed as well, but you have to watch temps cuz it's basically like gearing up. The heavier the wheel mass, the more potential strain on your electronics. I like the offset of the smaller Badlands 3.8 and for 6s ripping, but they definitely don't flip as easy as the bigger Backflips.👍👍😵😵😵😲😱😎👊👊
Rich Duperbash awesome thanks.i have a set of rc4wd 40 series mudslingers. I tried them on an EMaxx and they tore the diffs up. Learned my lesson. They are more for a summit or a big crawler.
Adam Baker no problem bro. Glad you mentioned the diffs. Bigger wheels definitely put more strain on them and the servo. Still can't say enough good things about the Backflip tires though. The rubber compound has perfect grip and slip, much longer lasting and less ballooning than Proline IMHO.👍👍👊
dude, the jump looks sooo epic!! how far is it in air do you think? from video it looks like at least 100 ft or something
niuniu1985 thanks so much brother!!! I'm not sure on height, but will say the Tekno gets up there pretty darn high. These jumps are MX size and can really launch you at speed...Lol. Happy bashing my friend!!! 🙋🙋😲😲😲😱😵😵💪👊👊
your videos are amazing, and the field you are bashing at is definitely dope!! everytime you or your friend's truck lands and made those huge slap sound, it gets me super excited, you are a true basher!! this is awesome!!
niuniu1985 thanks so much for the kind words brother!!! I definitely feel lucky to have a bash spot like this. Just so much FUN to send them off these big gap jumps and berms. 😱😱😎💪👊👊
hey rich!
Do you know the diameter of your aluminum center bar?
Does it help?
Any new Videos with the mt410 planned?
Keep it up 👍🏽👍🏽💪
_kekz_13 _ I stopped running it awhile back after a disasterous rear tower hit. It was probably a fluke cuz my body was fairly trashed and cavitated into the tower on the ground. My tower to tower brace acted as a battering ram and blew out my front bulkhead with the rear impact. Lots of repair work no doubt 😱. I had been using a piece of aluminum channel trim from Home Depot. It's designed to trim edges of 1/4" plywood. It worked in protecting the center driveline and supporting the stock plastic chassis supports. I've since gone to using M2C Racing upgrades. Great stuff that definitely works as it should. Rear chassis and lower tower support has been flawless. About to order their center to front support right now. My Tekno is down for a full rebuild at the moment. PS, if you want to see the carnage, watch the "Shockwaves 3.8" Tekno vid from months ago.😨😨😨😎💪👊👊
Rich Duperbash Alright thanks, then I'm not going to build a brace😲. I watched all your Videos about the Mt410 👍🏽👍🏽
_kekz_13 _ yeah the Tekno MT does superbly overall even stock. The M2C bracing really works great to fortify though. 😎💪👊👊
Rich Duperbash Yes, but the M2c stuff is hard to get here in Germany😉
_kekz_13 _ maybe MMM will make some stuff? Markhor stuff looks AMAZING 😍!!! 😎💪👊👊
Hey Rich, you think it's possible to run it on 5s? Perhaps it can be just the right spot ...
Daniel Navarro that crossed my mind prior to ever getting the MT, but the stock ARRMA BLX185 ESC doesn't recognize 5s properly and causes premature shutdown or voltage cut-off. You can switch ESC to NiMH mode and run an external cut-off alarm, but I don't own any 5s packs to try it. 6s on the MT is really overpowered, but I'm fine with it, just need to adapt and overcome and let the tires get some grab. I really enjoy driving my completely overpowered Backslash. Makes it more challenging and has crazy Boost you can use in careful doses when the stars(wheels) align just right...Lol. 🙋🙋👍😵😵😵😲😱👊👊
What power system would you recommend for the MT410, for running 4S only? I see you've ran the 2050kv Arrma motor and 2200kv Hobbywing.
Both power systems haul ass with the right gearing. Tough question to answer 🤔. If you keep the truck light, the 2200 has awesome top end and rips on 4s. It gets hot on 6s in warmer weather no question. If you think you'll eventually go 6s, the BLX would be my choice. Otherwise either motor can be geared to rip on 4s.
perhaps the most extreme bash channel on yt...
Scorpion thanks bro, just bashing them how I like to, hard and fast...Lol. Will say this MT is SUPER fun and has definitely earned my respect in the durability department.👍👍😵😵😵😲😱👊
Doooood, awesome video! Lol. That truck is sweet. How does it take that punishment?! haha
Crespo RC thanks much my friend!!! Tekno has a great design with higher end components that focuses attention to the high stress areas. I realized during the build how much attention went into this. Still wouldn't trust not using tower brace as the rear chassis support system looks inadequate for MEGA airs IMHO. 👍👍💪😱😱😱💪😲👊👊
This truck is bad ass
rich your tires r they pro-line bad lands the 1/2" off set ?
Keifer P. yes Sir, meant to mention they're taped with 2" Gorilla tape so no ballooning on 6s power. The traction and offset worked great as did steering/handling, but I really favor a bigger wheel closer to the Backflips for more wheel mass and cushion for really big jumps and faster mid-air corrections.👍👍😵😵😵😱😲💪👊👊
hey rich, i got the same(badlands 3.8) for my mt410 but wanted to know if you consider trying the Pro-Line PRO1012713 Badlands MX38 3.8 inch All Ter Tires and gorilla taped?
melbourne e. adams jr. no cuz I think they're too much tire for this platform. Thinking Backflips may be the ticket, but need to do further "testing"...Lol. If the MX38s were a bit smaller and lighter I'd be all over them!!! 👍👍😵😵😵😲😱👊👊
for me the mt 410 is just too light for 6s but it is really nice to see a bashing vid on 6s
tommyd3jr yeah she's Crazy light for her stance...Lol. 6s definitely takes a steady trigger finger with light throttle inputs. With those smaller Badlands and a light 6s brick, definitely was very easy to over throttle and spin out. Think she needs more tire/wheel mass next outing and maybe a heavier pack. Still getting her tuned/dialed, but the FUN FACTOR is really starting to shine.👍👍😀😀😵😵😵😲🙋🙋👊👊
Rich Duperbash
more wheel mass will help with grip but at the same time ur not gonna be able to keep that nose down.. Like yourself and our boy Gary i too run the Badlands 40 series and for me they're the best for that rig bro.. i had a set of Rock rages' and tried the tires off my old Rival and both had too much weight-mass and just didn't work for me and the terrain I bash on.. too wild in the air and keeping the nose down was a chore! and i run 4s bro (20tooth pinion, mamba monster X esc w/ 2200kv Castle motor).. the badlands don't look the best but in my opinion they're the best for that rig that I've found so far.. whatever u decide i will be watching bro
tommyd3jr thanks so much brother, that sounds like a nice combo you're running, must RIP ON 4s!!! Really appreciate the solid, first hand feedback bud. I'm going to experiment some no doubt. I'll probably build and tape a new wheel set on F11 3.8s, LOVE the offset of those and the Desperados. Just wishing there was a smaller MX38 style tire, think they'd be perfect. May turn my punch down and tune the shocks more to help control wheelie's. Committed to making a slightly heavier/taller wheel combo with more cushion that still offers easy chassis slap. We'll see how it plays out.👍👍🤔🤔😵😵😲😱👊👊🙋
are you running it sensored or sensor less
barney koons I only run sensorless. But I grew up riding 2 stroke MX bikes, too. 🍻🤘🤘😎💪👊👊
where buy brace??
M2C Racing 🍻
Mt410 stronger arrma? What are TEKNO's weaknesses?
In stock form for mild to moderate bashing, the Tekno is arguably stronger 🤔. Upgraded Tekno vs upgraded ARRMA, I'd go with an ARRMA for hardcore bashing personally. The Tekno has weak driveshafts that bend easily, narrow chassis with too many inlays, and inferior diff cases. It's overpriced for what you get in the kit and replacement parts are the same. 😎💪👊👊
What controller setup do u like to use on the mt 410 basher.
Guy Rose I'm using my basic Tactic ttx300 that comes with the Arrma 6s rigs. It's simple, light, comfortable in the hand, and has great range. Best part, they're only like 30$ off eBay. I've yet to be enticed by more sophisticated offerings. 😎💪👊👊
Send her buddy love it
iam theoutcast thanks brother 👊!!! Too funny, I'm planning on wrenching on the MT this evening. Putting in a Mamba Monster X ESC with the 1515 2200kv non sensored Castle motor to run on 4s. She's due for a rebuild anyways. 🤘🤘😵😵😨😎💪👊👊
it broke, weak.... jking. tough stuff n nice :)
zedrick zedwick thanks brother 👊!!! 🍻😨😨😎💪👊👊
Hey rich you know anyone that would trade me a brandnew kraton strait up for my outcast it's brandnew in the box never hit the dirt at all like it just came from the hobby shop?
Derek Quinones not off the top of my head, but I'd join the ARRMA forum and offer it in either the Kraton or Outcast thread section or classified area. I'm sure someone would trade you. 👍👍
kool thanks brah
damn hold your head still or get a tripod
