Finally really happy with the Sketer. Took a little bit, but she rips, and handles great. Was thinking about going wider with dementor arms for a bit...but not now.

With the wide hub kit, I have it set up with diffs at 100k/1mil/50k f/c/r.

Went through the shocks, topped off with 80wt fluid, set the rebound correctly.

Softened up the preload so whe will sit with the arms level when loaded with battery.

35kg JX servo

Power from Castle MMX 2200kv combo, 17t pinion.

BEC at 7.4v.

Backflip LPs.

Plenty of power, plenty of speed, handles awesome. Does not bounce around as much when running, soaks up the terrain.

Haven’t used castle creations since the v1 mmm. I still have the old castle link. I have been thinking lately it’s time to try them again. Never had a problem with them just haven’t had a reason to buy one in a long time. Think it’s about time.

My recently bought MMX stopped working after 10 mins on its maiden run... They replaced it under warranty, but I still haven't tried it out.
 
@HZRDOS .. Great to hear you have it all setup and working to your liking 👍🏼 ( wheels still look too big in my opinion 😉🤣🤣 )
The oils you have gone with are quite a bit heavier in both the shocks and diffs, I'll have to remember those settings for when mine arrives 👍🏼

I ruined it for myself when I took out the Sketer and the MT410 together. Forgot how awesome the MT handles. Lol

Also… the mt410 handles in a class of its own. Those things get down. With a good servo and good motor combo.. they are solid. I’ve probably driven my little mt410 as much or more than any of my other trucks. I love that thing.
 
Yeah, have a JX 35kg servo, MMX 2200kv combo. Same setup I have in the Sketer now. It rips. Run a 19t pinion in the MT

Nice little setup for sure. That 19t with a 2200 probably RIPS! Nice… I might have to throw on a 20T … mine only a 1900kv 🤣😂 I only ever run it on 4s … with all the bolt ons she’s a heavy pig so I’ll save some weight on the packs. Haha

Yeah, never placed a 6s pack in it. I would have to get a short one if I wanted to. That stock battery compartment is small.

That 19t is a ripper for sure.

The Tekno only people must not like gast rigs. They all talk about 15t and 16t max with a 2200kv. Coming from Arrma....I like overpowered rigs. Ha.

I have all the M2C braces so added a bit of weight, but she is still quick and plenty nimble.

My MT410 is box stock apart from some Tekno upgrades, running BLX motor with Max8 and I've never run it on 4s always 6s :LOL::LOL::LOL: it's just nuts..!!
I'm lucky I have some small HRB's 4000mAh 60c 6s batteries that fit just nice in the tray, didn't have any 4s batteries when I bought it, so it just went straight to 6s out the box..!!
Everyone on the Tekno forum told me 6s was too much, they've obviously never driven an Arrma :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

That's what I'm saying. Seems to me the Tekno forum people don't like really fast rigs?

Like I said, they were saying how a 15t pinion on 4s was plenty enough for the 2200kv motor. I started with that....for like 1/2 pack. Was like....nope....needs more gear. Lol.

Yeah...us Arrma guys must be crazy. Lol. I run my 6s rigs with a 20t pinion on a 1650kv. They are just stupid fast.

My Mojave runs a 22t and now that I’ve put blower fans on it I might step it up to 24t 🤣😂

I see your 22T and raise you to a 30T ;):ROFLMAO:

Quote from the Arrmaforum.. "Starting with a bashing setup of 30/50T on 6s but my intensions are fastest Mojave "off road" goal 100mph 🤣"
 
Those Shock towers look niiiiiice!!!
