What pinion gear should I use on the TLR TEN-SCTE 3.0?

It depends on your motor and the track. In the 1/10 4WD short course truck class, racers gear by final drive ratio: 4000 Kv and up near 11.00. On the TEN-SCTE 3.0's stock 40T spur that is about 14T for 4000 Kv and up. Tight tracks gear down, open tracks gear up. For a starting pinion matched to your motor, use the So Dialed Pinion Recommender with the TEN-SCTE 3.0 selected.

What is the internal ratio (transmission ratio) of the TLR TEN-SCTE 3.0?

The TEN-SCTE 3.0 has an internal ratio of 3.9:1. Final drive ratio = spur ÷ pinion × 3.9. With the stock 40T spur, a 13T pinion gives an FDR of 12.00 and a 20T gives 7.80.

How many teeth is the stock spur gear on the TLR TEN-SCTE 3.0?

40 teeth. Changing the spur moves every pinion's ratio at once; most racers leave the spur and tune with the pinion.

What shock oil does the TLR TEN-SCTE 3.0 come with?

Out of the box the TEN-SCTE 3.0 runs 40 wt front, 35 wt rear (Team Losi oil), on 5 x 1.0mm (#233022) front, 5 x 1.1mm (#233023) rear pistons. That is the kit setup; you will need to adjust it for your track conditions. The RC Setup App can help dial it in.

What springs does the TLR TEN-SCTE 3.0 come with?

The kit springs are Purple 4.4 lb (#233020) front, Red 2.6 lb (#5169) rear. Stiffer springs suit high grip and big jumps; softer springs add grip on slick or bumpy tracks.

What diff fluid does the TLR TEN-SCTE 3.0 come with?

The kit diff fluid is 7,000 cst front, 7,000 cst center, 5,000 cst rear. Thicker front adds steering on power; thicker center sends more drive rearward; thicker rear stabilizes the car under throttle.
