Every Tekno video you release makes me want to build a Tekno...
Sorry....lol
Rite on with this Tekno MY 410 .. I truly wish all RC trucks came as kits , that's how it use to be and u knew everything about the truck . I miss those days but I'm definitely getting one of these for that reason . Thanks for the vid . Keep on keepin
Yep, Tekno always does a great job on their kits!
Awesome review. Been lookin for a good monster truck to build for my son. Thanks Rich great job.
Thanks for watching RCJ!
A very well put together kit from TeknoRc. Nice design, and easy to assemble. I watched your build video of this truck and it looks like it is pretty much bulletproof. I like ProLine parts, I have their shocks on all of my trucks, and they are fantastic. Body looks to be nice and thick as well. I really like the 17MM spline hubs, you can use both spline type wheels, and standard 17MM wheels which give you a wide variety to choose from.
I will have to pick one of these up and get a nice Castle system for it.
Good deal, Bill. It's a great build, and driving is also great!
luv the mt410 I'm running the tekin 4038 2250kv truggy motor in my mt410 and it's a Beast!
Nice!
I have got my tekno mt410! it is what you said. I am a newbie and the build was very easy. thx for your videos! really helpful. it would be nice to know if thebody Compatibility that Tekno gives you is out of date. I would like to know what other bodies would fit without trimming to much
Great video rich I couldn't agree more the tekno mt410 is 100% hardcore . it is so very tuff and you can't ask for more as far as quality of parts. for sure a one if a kind truck.!!
Puts all the RTR's to shame
nice review! Might have to add this vehicle to my collection!
Easily in my top 5 all time RC's!
Bought good condition one on marketplace for 450, the dude built an excellent machine. 6s, hightech servo, prolines. Best purchase ever, felt bad taking it off bro's hands, but he had x-maxx's, crawlers, had it all.
The MT410 is still, to this day the best MT on the market!
Nice rig bro and great vid !!
From what Im hearing and seeing she still needs a few upgrades from stock. Shock pistons, shock caps, aluminum chassis braces ....... standard stuff 😀
Nope, this is a Tekno....I'm still rocking the plastic shock caps with no issues...pistons are the same as their race rigs. Aluminum chassis braces will just deflect the damage else-where, like bending the chassis.
I loved my mt4 g3 left it all stock for 2 years only tires body servo did I replace other than 1 bearing in the read diff came apart but found it right away and diff was fine. I ran 4s only though. Sold it when the esc went out and the motor bearings was bad. Couldn’t break it looking for something like that durability wise but on 6s I sold all rc stuff 2 years ago so starting fresh and man this will cost out the rip. If I went with a trmt8e be6s electronics other than radio seem good as I like those brands and would buy those for err upgrades. But Tekno is a better truck. It would run me 1100usd to build this thing and Lipo and charger
i'v watched this video about 300 times. I'm probably going to end up building the same setup. Just wish my body painting skills were as good as yours . HEY , ill buy that body from ya ;) hhaha,. awesome video man !
Awesome review Rich. Thanks
Thanks for watching Michael

Thanks RC off Tek - It takes a bunch of time and effort to put these together....and thanks for the sub!
Sexy beast! My next RC purchase will definitely be a Tekno of some sort.
Do it! YOu can't go wroing with a Tekno!
Like the video thanks. What pinion are you running with that tekin and what would you recommend with a 2250 kv? Will the tekno m5 work on it. Thanks, im new to this, plan on getting 2 of these for my girlfriend and i to build.
What a great review! thanks alot
Glad you enjoyed it!
would you review the serpent cobra mt-e rtr
awesome video rich. really thinking about buying this. also could you suggest some budget electronics.
Nice AA! Take a look at Hobbywing - like the XR8 and the 4268 motor
@@TheRCNetwork Is this still a combo you recommend, or has time brought other options to the market?
great review..I've got the out cast,was gonna buy the kraton but I think I want to build a kit instead so which truggy would you recommend as a top quality basher
If you want to build a kit.....Tekno is the way to go.....Truggy wise, the ET48 is a great rig
so do you still have it/love it? can you do a long term recap if you have time? i'm thinking this might be my next build. i was thinking about a bomber next, but i can't seem to build an axial without leaving serious skid marks on my debit card. frigging vanquish with their super awesome stuff.
True on the bomber! The MT410 is still my favorite super basher of all time! love the thing....honestly still haven't seriously broken anything. It's just tough and a great straight forward build. It's a nice departure from the cheaper $500 RTR rigs out there. BTW....my Bomber is for sale right now
because of you. I purchased this beautiful truck. I love it. vest vid. can't wait to get it tomorrow. im going with CASTLE monster x with the 2200kv motor. you prefer teken? And what size pinion don you prefer? Thank you
Family Fun R.C. Tekin makes some great stuff - but the castle system will be capable. Pinion gear? I ended up with a 17t, but you'll have to gauge yours based on weight, the castle system and especially the tires (rotational weight). Enjoy the truck, it's a great one! 👍👍
The RCNetwork thank you for your fat response. I was gonna choose either 17t or 18t pinion. somewhere around the middle. thanks. happy bashing!
Was looking at using the same motor what size pinion gear did you end up with, also are you running 4s or 6s
Very nice, i like it Rich, One Luv!
Thanks MTC!
Very nice review!Looks beast bro...Have fun✌ツ👍
Thanks VHX!
Best tires and wheels on the market. Sorry if you covered this but are you running 4s or 6s?
Hey great videos man. Does the mt410 share a lot of the same parts as the eb48.3?
Matt Nelson I believe it shares more parts with the et48.3
do you know if this body will fit the arrma kraton??
great review!
Thanks Shen!
any reviews on the Kraton v2 ?
Thanks for the info. Now I need to buy one. Where is the bashing area located?
It's in SoCal, Lake Forest
I just got this kit, I’m struggling on which esc and motor to get for it. I really like that Tekin combo, but it not being water proof gives me some pause on getting it. I have no plans on submerging or driving through water. Any thoughts on this?
The Tekin is solid - especially that it is fully sensored. If you want water proof, check out the Hobbywing EXRun Max8 combos - they’re water proof, but sensorless. Still a great value, just not race inspired.
Axial Yeti 1/10 or Tekno MT410 - as a first build project for someone who's built an R/C 450 sized helicopter kit before. Which would you recommend as a first RC terrestrial vehicle
I'd go for the TEkno....It's an easy straight forward build and needs no upgrades
Awesome video brother great review definitely my next R/C.🖒🖒
It's a great truck....easily in my top 5 RC's
More reviews would be great
Another review going up on the channel on May 1st!
Hey Rich really love your Mt410 series of videos. Do you think the new Castle Sidewinder 4 1/8 Motor and ESC combo will work and be a good fit for this truck?
MrRjsnowden I haven’t looked at the specs on that CC SW4 1/8th. Most 1/8th scale systems should bolt right in - keep in mind any weight limitations that Castle sets and watch the temps for gearing. My Tekin System is still rocking in this!
From what I've read. Castle doesnt have a good rep, hobbywing is better...
@@timsgta You must be reading the wrong places or aren't as experienced as some others. As someone who has a bit of everything, I can confirm this is not the case.
Remember, you can mix and match as well. My Tekno racer uses a hobbywing motor, with a castle ESC. I went this route for the logging features at a "cheaper than rx8" pricepoint!
@@stokedGSXR this was a year ago, I dont remember this comment and I certainly don't remember what I was thinking about when I left it lol.
Tekno are so underrated! Yeah I'm a fan boy. But I do have and enjoy most major brand kits. I just don't think Tekno gets the Kudos it deserves.
I have the SCT410.3, love it. It has been my go to car, never fails, I'd go close to saying it's unbreakable (now I will cop a flogging from the haters). Seriously when I built it perfect, not a single part missing, no modifications needed, every part was quality.
How much do I love the SCT410.3, I bought the MT410. If after two or more years of bashing SCT with 9 -70 year olds driving it, cleaning up fences, fence posts, everything you couldn't find if you tried to find it, they have hit.
My MT is half built, its a pleasure to build, only thing I don't like is the screwing on the rod ends (but that's universal across all brands).
I have a Pro-Line VW Baja body and Rat Rod body that I'll use, I've a set of their swampers (I think that's what their called), Castle Creations Mamba Monster X 2,200 kv, Spektrum radio gear, and Savox servo. (I run this combo in nearly all my kits).
Now people are going to hurt $$$$ with a Tekno kit, try living in Australia it hurts the pocket hard, but I guess it all boils down to quality vs quantity, build or RTR, and how seriously you take the hobby.
My first car was the HPI Vorza, great car, with this car my interest in the hobby developed, I started with some Badlands Wheels & Tyres.
Then I put the longer big bore shocks, stainless steel screws, pinion gear etc.
Now with numerous car kits, from different brands, sizes, buggy, truggy, SCT etc. it has become my passion.
That's how/why I buy and justify paying for such a kit.
I'm even thinking at some stage of getting the EB410.4, again for the pleasure of building, and the quality.
For me the enjoyment is in the creation, my Schumacher 1/12 Pan car will have a Cheshire Cat theme, and the build was totally foreign to me as I was so used to off road.
As I said it is expensive, but custom, flawless quality and performance. An open book!
NIce comments, Garszy! Yep, Tekno's are no joke....they just work!
Did the 17 tooth pinion work out. Would an 18 or 19 wheelie less. Your pinion opinion would be greatly appreciated! Thanks rich
Really depends on your set up, weight, etc.....17t worked for me well
Would the 6s combo that comes in the kraton be good with this also I have 2 3s 5200mah hardcase zeee lipos would those fit in here?
It will drop in, but it is a sensorless system, so not ideal. As for the batt's - you'll probably have to stack them...check the batt's height and see if it will work compared to the batt tray. I always ran 4s in this truck and it was plenty of power on that Tekin truggy 2000kv motor
oh i forgot to mention that my kit didn't include a servo horn (just learned that yours came with a plastic set) i was able to pull a horn outta my extras box but i was a little surprised when i didn't find a horn in my parts bag! now i know it was a fluke
YOu didn't miss much! lol
Just picked one up what do you think of the as an add on M2C 6820 TEKNO GAME CHANGER 410 WIDE BODY CHASSIS KIT, I would try to sell the original chassis so would recoup some cost. I'm primarily bashing, jumping, so looking for the strongest option. Wondering if it's worth the extra cost or will it hold up with stock if you run it hard.
I would run it stock, tbh. I've never had an issue with mine....but I know the limits of the truck. Anytime you "send it" you risk breaking any truck regardless of what "upgrades" you have on it. You'll find that when you upgrade things of strength, other things will start breaking
So, based mostly off the end of the video (because I'm new to this and don't know much about the brands and trucks/cars/buggies/truggies, etc...) the tekno beats the outcast based on reliability, knowledge, and personalization? Because if that's the case then I'm sold. I've heard a few people complain that arrma sometimes feels cheaply made
You truly can't beat the Tekno...it still reigns as the best 1/8th scale MT on the market, IMO
What would you say is the best basher? Also, is there a complete build out there that is a better basher than this? Like the rustler 4x4 vxL
Bwahaahaha a rustler 4x4 is nowhere near this, no I don't think there is any, if you want to get a good 1/8th scale Allrounder I'd get the arrma kraton, great car, I've got it too
I'm trying to figure out what bodies fit on this truck any suggestions what body is that ford raptor ? Proline ?
Pretty much any 1/8th scale MT body. You'll want to look for the bodies to fit TMaxx/EMaxx
I know this is an older video but I have a question..
I have an E-Revo (v1) that I haven't run for years because I couldn't keep the diffs from stripping out no matter how I rebuilt them, shimmed them, upgraded them, or drove like a granny on her way to church.
Everything else about it is bullet proof but after stripping the diffs for the 25th time in 25 runs (never made it through a full battery pack) I finally gave up on it.
I really don't want to just throw the Revo away and I know that if I try to sell it I won't get anywhere near what I have into it, so I thought maybe the best option is to take all the electronics and whatnot out of it and put them into something that can actually handle the power. I don't have whatever motor and ESC traxxas released the E-revo with and I don't have the Castle set either. I have the HobbyWing brushless motor and ESC that people were putting in their Revo conversion 5-8 years back.
Would it be worth it? Will my 1/8th scale motor fit in this thing? Will the diffs hold up?
You'll see a night and day difference between your old Revo and the Tekno. Everything is robust on the Tekno, especially the diffs in comparison. As for "if your motor will fit" - I dropped in a Tekin T8 4038 2000kv motor in mine, and that was literally shoe-horned into it. Anything that size or smaller will work easily. That motor is 42mm x 77mm. I only ran 4s and it was plenty of power
@@TheRCNetwork thanks for the info. That pretty much settles it for me. I'm just saving up a bit to buy the kit and maybe a few key upgrades.
Mt410 is my favorite truck ! Still the Best in 2021/2022!
It's still king!
Awesome Rich👍👍👊👊
Thanks Roy!
Welcome bro
it looks like to be the best mt out there
Agreed! hands down!
One major weakness of this vehicle as a basher is the lack of tower to tower bracing. There are aftermarket solutions, but they will add significantly to the cost and weight. If you bash this hard enough stock, expect bent driveshafts and a bent chassis eventually.
The cure for that without buying $$$'s in supposed upgrades is to practice driving, don't case jumps and don't launch your $1000+ RC into the air with no regards to how it will land. Bashing is cool and all, but pulling TH-cam stunts for ad revenue isn't my game.
looks great
Thanks Doug!
Did the 17 tooth pinion work out Or did you have to change it out. Would 18 or 19 tooth be too much ?
17t worked for my set up....It really depends on kv, tires, weight, etc
great review. fantastic build series vids as well. I still don't trust myself with lipos (lol) but would love to be able to rig this up with NIMH compatible electronics. Doable?
Make the jump Potter! Lipo is easy....k=just follow the rules, buy reputable lipos and a decent charger like the Hitec X1 Touch ($99)Nimh is doable, but today's electronics really need Lipo
How is parts support? How many years will they offer parts for this vehicle?
Excellent - since the launch of the vehicle , it's still a relevant today. The best thing about Tekno is that all of the electric vehicles are modular - in other words, many of the parts are cross compatible - for the MT410, it uses the arms/drives/turnbuckles from the ET48 and the chassis, center driveline from the EB48 - bumpers from the SCT410, etc. If you've had an RTR before this is a HUGE step above any of those.
Hi very Nice car ,
How do you get the car so clean After running ?
Air compressor and a quick wipe down
did you have problems with a screw what hits the chassis in the front when you turnin tight? I saw a video where he got issue with this. it's a screw on the steeringarm on the front driver side!
+Toni L no issue on mine....
might even buy one :)
It's a great truck.....easliy one of my top 5 RC's
what tooth pinion are you using and brand I am using the same setup
Guy Rose it’s a 17t Novak, I believe. Most Mod 1 gears are decent. Novak, Team Associated, TLR are all decent
Q: The front bumper goes under the chassis or on top of the chassis?
Buda Alvrz under
nice rig i like it
Did you have any trouble sliding the motor and plate into the motor plate holder. I have a t8 2000kv and it was very very tight sliding in. I had to take a cloth covered screwdriver to wedge it back out. Anybody else experience this??
I did on this one.....not sure what changed, but it was a bit of a struggle getting it to slide in, but it happened
Please contact our customer service www.blog.teknorc.com/contact-us/. We had some issues with the motor mount inserts and offer replacements.
Matt Wolter thank you so much. Now that's customer service !!!! Makes me wanna buy more Tekno Kits. Like soon ! Have any Coupon codes ? 😁
I wish we did. Highly recommend www.fiercercsolutions.com good prices and great customer service. Hope you are having fun with your truck and definitely let us know if we can help with anything.
i'm seriously thinking about ordering this beast and pulling the 1/8 scale electronics out of my slash for it. the slash is fun but it breaks every time i run it.
This thing is a blast! I drove it at the U4 race last weekend (actually brought it if I needed parts for the DB48)
Great video. Would you still recommend this truck?
Hell yes! Even in 2023, the MT410 still dominates
@@TheRCNetwork Just built it up and it's incredible! I've never built an rc before and it was a piece of cake and a ton of fun.
@@LIFEOFSTUFFEDANIMALS nice! It’s an awesome example of a great RC.
Looks very nice but these monster trucks look like they are just biggies with bigger tires. Nothing like the HPI savage, monster GT, T-Maxx, Ofna Titan, or Kyosho Mad Crusher. It’s probably stronger but doesn’t feel like a monster truck to me, more like a truggy. Which is fine.
love mine
Nice!
So i see its on sale at amainhobbies for 369 would you say thats a good deal?
That’s a great deal!
Hey Rich I have heard that this rig can be a pain to maintenance? Such as diffs require a tear down to get to. This true?
CL-Audio that can’t be farther from the truth. Besides removing the sway bar - 4 screws gets you access to the diffs.
@@TheRCNetwork Awesome. Thanks for the hands on info. Will then the only think keeping me from getting one currently is I just bought an Outcast. I fear the experience might be too similar.
CL-Audio I’ve owned nearly every Arrma 6s, and although they’re impressive for a $500 Rig, they lack the quality materials and adjustability that the Tekno has. Arrma uses stamped aluminum vs Tekno’s had anodized, machined Aluminum. The other thing that always bothered me on the Arrma’s were how noisy they were - when you compress the suspension. The pivot balls squeak, have stiction, etc. the MT410 is buttery smooth. Just my $0.02. BTW, I got rid of every Arrma I had....but kept the MT410
@@TheRCNetwork Wow, that speaks volumes! Definitely worth some consideration. Thank you for your input. I guess I could look at it as after I upgrade the Arrmas with all the good stuff, it's not a whole heap cheaper. Did you run 6S on yours? But OMG did you see this th-cam.com/video/6qndIsyTSsA/w-d-xo.html
What's up with the flip at 6:40? Looks like it stopped mid flip, then continues the flip?
It was amazing, huh? Honestly I couldn't ever repeat that. I basically started the flip and reacted, then reacted again.....thank god the camera was rolling. Tekno saw it and they were blown away!
@@TheRCNetwork I thought it was a camera trick, simply amazing...
I want one just like it
could you use a hobbywing max 10 in this car when it's built
Not a chance. You'll need an 1/8th scale system for this
@@TheRCNetwork thanks 😊
Where can I get truck bodies for it? Screw Arrma. I want this!
Anything for 1/8th scale MT's from Pro-Line
the option to extend the chassis is available would you extend the mt410?
Sinister Rc wouldn't it just be the truggy then?
Truggy with extended arms and true 1/8 th scale yes
Probably not.....it would relax the MT410 and make it more like a land yacht
excellent review!
Thanks Paul!
You know this channel is great. Just a shame we have the Casey Neistart music in the background now.
Sorry, I went through a phase of Neistat style....it has went away! lol
Lol, glad to hear that mate.
Looks fun. what about 1000. to get it running?
Yeah, just gotta watch the electronics you choose. Check out the Hobbywing Max line up.
Hey thanks! That Tekin stuff looks nice. Rcsparks always ran there stuff
Yep - Aaron has used Tekin's stuff for years. You can't go wrong with Tekin's stuff.
In terms of handling how does this compare to the Kraton EXB? I am trying to decide which one of these to get for my 11 year old son..I love the idea of building a truck with him and it being all his but I don't want it to be a truck that isn't easy to drive for him. Let me know what you think. Looks like it will run flat but I haven't driven both Trucks, you have. 😉😆
I always like a non pivot ball suspension, TBH. The MT410 uses traditional knuckles and hubs vs. pivot balls on the Kraton. The MT410, in all regards blows away the EXB. The MT410 is based from Tekno's race line of vehicles....so it's using top quality materials, is highly adjustable and Tekno's durability is through the roof. Plus you can actually build the MT410 - it's one of the best laid out RC's to build. The EXB comes 90% built...just gotta add electronics.
@@TheRCNetwork thanks man! Love your videos, definitely the BEST on RC on YT. And thats high-praise considering my wife says I watch entirely too much YT! 🤣 With that said, I would love to see you break down the new Losi 8ightXT/E kit!
@@jc51373 yeah, I’m working on trying to get one for review....we will see
@@TheRCNetwork Yes!!! I am sure they will do it, they need to socialize that truck more than they have. It's a great platform .
Wow... Is it more durable than the kraton? Wanna buy a durable but still good rc
More durable, more adjustable, race inspired design...the list goes on
100% worth the $$ in my opinion! i like Arrma for what they r but an outcast or kraton just don't match up to the MT410.. the plastics and milled aluminum that Tekno uses is miles better.. for example I've owned a V1 kraton since the first year they've came out and i love it.. if i had to add up all the parts I've invested into my kraton from diffs and bent up shock towers to bearings and hubs i could've built 2-3 MT410's no problem! I'm yet to break a part on my MT410 other then a body mount and that was completely my fault.. in my opinion the Tekno is a different Beast and it's hard to drive for me anyways as I'm still getting the hang of it but other then it being unruly (think the provided diff fluids r too thick) i love it!
Very true! The Tekno is just a step above of any RTR out there...
still relevant?
those backflips though
Thanks!
Is it a 1/10 scale or 1/8 scale?
Brap Pitt it's a 1/8, but uses 1/10 bodies
Ok so after watching your videos I have decided to get the mt 410 instead of something else. Around how much did you spend on this build and set up?
BIG LIFE if you don’t count the radio system - about $1k - but literally since the release of this video....I still have it and it’s going strong. I’ve only broken a body mount.
That's what I was thinking. Just getting back into it so I will have to get a transmitter. I still have a charge. Really enjoy the videos. Thanks for the information.
What have you broken on this truck?
two body posts....a leaking shock cap, that's it.
looks good, but I'd have to sell the losi first and I'm not doing that anytime soon.
Too many RC's!
The RCNetwork haha, never enough but the maintenance is killing me!
thar paused front flip was pretty sick by the way.
How heavy?
DUST_STORM DOM 76 about 8 pounds
Hello i am in the market for a great basher MT Is this the best basher out there. Thank you
Hands down. It's not cheap, so expect about $1,000 for a full equipped one....but it won't let you down and it's tough!
The RCNetwork thanks for getting back to me on this tekno 410Mt. I have great things about this Mt. I just bought one 2 days ago. Thank you for your responce. JF
If you buy an Arrma Outcast $500 lest $50 free cupón and also free shipping ! So with $ 450 you are going to have an amazing truck base on 1:8 buggy bulletproof layout, with outstanding electronics even the servo has steel gears, 6s motor, 150 Ampere esc, 2.4 Ghz radio , reinforced body, high traction tires, full aluminum shocks, that also looks amazing and has all suspension tuning possibilities like caster, camber, toe. You don't need to spend $ 1000 to have the best truck !!!
With all due respect, the Outcast is a great truck...I have one. For the $499 (let's keep it to values less coupons) it's a great truck for 80% of the RC crowds out there. It's powerful, durable and it looks great. The thing about RC is that 80% of the people that love the Outcast want to improve it to make it even better otherwise aftermarket companies wouldn't exist. That's when $100-150 servos (the Arrma servos are terribly slow), $200 shocks (yes, people are upgrading the Kraton, Outcast, etc with Tekno shocks), the list goes on and on. Now for the 20% of people that just want a better designed truck. Tekno designs full out race proven rigs. Arrma does not - They're in the looks and MPH game. Tekno gives you CNC'd aluminum parts. Armma gives you stamped aluminum. Tekno gives you fully adjustable geometry. Arrma gives you fixed geometry. The list keeps going. But ask ANY Tekno MT410 owner (or any Tekno owner for that matter) They're the best built and designed trucks on the planet and wit that comes a price increase over the mediocre trucks out there. Any one that I let drive the Outcast vs. the Tekno say hands down the Tekno is better.....
The RCNetwork The fact that the MT410 has the same size characteristics like width/ length and weighs well over a lb and a half lighter helps with the truck feeling more nimble, tighter or better lol especially faster!. It's a great kit truck indeed. A friend has one..yes i am jealous haha. The Outcast is a great bang for the buck and very respectable rtr truck tho imo.
Good vid bro 👍
What do you mean the tekno is more adjustable? Can you give me some examples of things that are adjustable on the tekno and not on the arrma?
Noah Cambre for one, all of the geometry is adjustable out of the box with the Tekno - it comes with “pills” for the A, B, C, and D blocks to adjust squat, toe, etc.
@@TheRCNetwork oh, like multiple pieces with pre-set adjustments that can be changed out. All of those things on the arrma are adjustable though, except tow on the back wheels. That's the only thing not adjustable
Noah Cambre all of the Arrma 6S vehicles have fixed position suspension holders. The Tekno MT410 has adjustable “pills” that insert into the holders to adjust the geometry.
@@TheRCNetwork"by suspension holder" do you mean the pieces that hold the a arm pin?
@@Dimomult yes that's what he means
Ill stick with my arrma's but great video!
Sadly Arrma does no kits.
At 450.00 or 500.00 to start then motor, esc, servo another 300.00 = 800.00 -900.00 is 2/3 's the price of a 1/5 gas model.
For me I'd go with the 1/5 Losi
Ringo Gingo with that, the MT410 is the ultimate 1/8th scale monster truck - even with premium electronics, you’re hitting right over $1,000. To build the ultimate 5th scale - you’ll be well over $3,000 - aren’t the MIP shocks like $329 for 2?
The RCNetwork....The Losi 5t is good right out of the box , for a price of 1399.00 .
Yes, if you up grade many parts it could be 3000.00 but wow ! if I put another 1600.00 into it look what I would have !!! Also, it comes with a 32cc gas engine.
I don't see how you are figuring this 1000.00 car is worth it compared to a 1399.00 1/5 scale Losi 5t ?
@@goodboyringo9716 I wouldn't have the extra expense of the fuel and engine upkeep besides the electric seem to be faster and lighter. I can run an electric in my yard without the neighbors complaining. I have 1 that complains to the police about my weed eater gas engine. It's basically the same engine as yours at 32cc. Don't get me wrong I would love a fuel driven RC but would have to travel out of state for the closest place to run it. I am in the market for an RC right now. I have a budget but when it comes to buying a rtr car and having to put a fortune into making it durable and fast and drivable, this review of the MT-410 looks like the ticket to me. Bite the bullet and get quality up front and not sit with an expensive pile of RC waiting to see if the next up grade will start to make the hobby fun yet. Some just can't use fuel where they are and some know rtr's don't always scream great bargain. I raced years ago. I raced a Kyosho 2wd buggy on pavement in stock and modified classes, against street pan cars, with a bone stock buggy. I never broke a part not even after getting slammed into in the front wheels by people trying to wipe out my car. I did really good because the car was good. No buying upgrades every week. People buying other cars and spent way more than I did. The same people that said I spent to much on my car. Sometimes saving a little longer and buying true quality first can save you money in the long run. That car ended up being the least expensive car on the track after everybody's upgrades that should have moved them all to modified class. It finished 6th in stock(most cars in class) and 2nd overall in modified classes. I even missed races because of my job. Sometimes more equals less in the long run. Good luck and enjoy that nice Losi! I wish I could run it without complaints. Nothing like having the cops pull in the driveway every time I get my weed eater out. Have fun and know some of us are jealous wishing they could hear the engine revving as you mash the throttle!
@@davidreed3724 .... I don't have a Losi 32cc car but did just buy an Rovan 45cc Baja Max 5t , its new from Rovan. Most parts from the HPI 5b fit it, just read the info on it.
It has 4" longer alum a-arms, longer 10 mm shocks, 220x120 tires, alum steering near the servo and many other upgrades . it's on sale for 999.00 and with this code RVPCD5 you get 5% more off. 950.00 shipped . It was way cheaper than the Losi and I love the look. You can see it run on TH-cam by trying in Baja Max 5t , it gets wheelies on top end.
As for the neighbors crying , I would move to the country will some land , you would be much more happy. Yes I do realize it's easier said than done but
where there's a will there's a way.
@@goodboyringo9716 sounds great! I'm disabled so it's expensive enough just to get this driveway plowed in the winter. Believe or not I do have a corn field across the street from my house. Mostly farms here. I'm in a small community of about 700 people. That one neighbor has had her next door neighbor arrested, my next door neighbors grand kids arrested for trespassing as their playing with a ball spilled into her yard a few times. (They were 8 & 10 at the time) and she tried to have her other next door neighbor, whose yard touches most of my back yard, when the guys spraying her yard used the wrong stuff and killed her yard and over spray got some of nasty neighbor and my yard. The rest of my back yard is against the nasty neighbors yard. Until she kicks the bucket or murders one of us neighbors we are stuck. We've been here 25 plus years and nasty has been here 15 plus. She only messed with me a couple of times. Both for noise. 1 dogs that bark when hers does and multiple times for my weed eater (on going). I will be limited to electric RC. Good luck with your new car it sounds like fun. I do like larger vehicles but I will mostly be playing in my yard. Post a video of your build and review it. I would like to see it. Good luck my brother in RC
This kit is a available at my LHS now at 400 now..damn..poison..lol
Is it still the best ?
IMO, yes...even in 2020!
@@TheRCNetwork I agree with Rich , most people that have capable driving skills and let them drive this truck understands afterwards the difference between their entry level rtr and this truck.
would you ever sell this truck as a roller?
Probably not Les...the MT410 easily made my top 5 RC's of all time....
ahhhhh I guess I'm going to have to build one then.
It's an easy build...watch my hour long EB48.4 build......much of the same as the MT410....I show all the tougher parts like the diffs, shocks, etc
hey rich ill check it out that video as soon as my kit comes in. This will be my first kit I ever built. Hopefully I don't screw this up lol
Bad ass
Thanks buddy!
Are you on 4s or 6s here?
This was all 4s....not really a need for 6s if you have a well balanced 4s system
Those suspension arms are NOT indestructible, I have a box full of broken ones. They mainly fail at the hinge pin, but I've snapped a few in half on my ET48.3
Dan Lewis I don’t mean to come off wrong, but driving skill plays a huge part in what breaks, especially on a Tekno. Nothing is indestructible, but after owning 7 Tekno’s now, I’ve only broken one arm.....
The RCNetwork Tekno is the only brand I own for on & off the track, so after hundreds of hours I have broke and bent nearly every part on the EB/ET series. I was just qoiting the part where you said they were "indestructible". To be fair most of my failures were due to poor media in the injection molding process and there were large air cavities in the arm, but other brand new arms would fail after 1 tumble.
cool
Thanks for watching!
I think he likes it.
Interesting channel name
@@TheRCNetwork His parents copied my parents.
It really should come with a body
It gives people an option....most of the time stock bodies are thin and unlicensed
Damn that's a $1,220 dollars rig holy cow
It can be built for less, but I chose great electronics. It will also stand the test of time.....mine has yet to break (only a couple of body posts)
@@TheRCNetwork it's an amazing truck for sure
i think it is better than the proline pro mt
caspar jenk ya that's obvious. it's 4x4 and it's tekno. proline for a 2wd is pretty cool though it's basically a slash 2wd with a short chassis. same design.
caspar jenk pro-line pro my is 1/10 scale and 2wd. this is 1/8 and 4wd .. 2 different trucks completely
