RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

I'm not really into vintage electronics, but I owned a Tekin 410K years ago. Stupid me traded it away, but I finally found one at a decent price.

One of my favorites, bet ya happy now! Have you tested it and heard the tune and see if it tunes off from the radio??? super cool bit of kit

I had one of these BITD, they were really cool. I have a custom heatsink that my dad CNC'ed at work that we bolted to the top-deck of a pro/boss-cat (cant remember which) which then bolted to the 410K as they had threaded holes underneath and plastic screws.

I'll have to get a picture of it...

Most desirable speedo ever... when they work

Good catch

I still have both of my early ( no external switch ) 410k's, great unit but they used to shut off when they built up static from racing pancars. It was fun to hold the brakes for 5 arcs and then turn the radio off, shutting the esc down from the drivers stand at the races end though!

Here is the heatsink I was talking about. It sat on the top deck, hence the tunnel in the middle. Seemed to work really well and definitely helped to keep it cooler.

i was only kidding, it's a cool thing your father made, don't you dare sell it

Hey, if you dont have the sticker sets that came with it I have them in my for sale section, I had 2 of those speed controls, one worked great and the other spent 6 months at tekin!

Wow I have one of those still works as it should, did'nt think they were worth anything...

How does it work? What are the numbers for? Looks pretty cool!
