In a previos post the battery tray described to be 45mm by 168mm.Will a 45mm wide battery fit or will it be too tight.I guess what im asking is that the usable size or the actual dimension?

I had the same problem, but i have chosen to make my own battery tray with carbon fibre:):whip:

The usable inside tray width is exactly 50mm. I just measured it. Not sure if the production version will be different, but I can't imagine it would be.

By the way, I was able to squeeze in a pack and half of runtime the other day and everything is holding up fine. Despite a few crashes and cartwheels (those curbs do jump out of nowhere), the single screw motor mount is holding up great. Also, the nylon or Delrin (whatever it is) also held up fine, and I was running on gravel driveway, asphalt street, and gravel ridden lawn (the snowblower does that).

This Tekin combo is sweet. I can definitely feel in improvement in control, primarily at low speeds. Brakes are also smoother. Castle really needs to add a sensor port to their products and some sensored motors to go with them. The MM/MMPro/MMM are smooth, don't get me wrong, but the Tekin sensored setup really redefines smooth.

Anyway, here are the pics of it all complete:

Drove it around in the basement and am pretty impressed. Sensored works wonderfully at low speed, and brakes are smoother. The buggy motor has plenty of power for this vehicle.

Hey, Brian G, Now that you have ran the ten with the 1900kv tekin setup what are your thoughts other than being sensored.Is it too much motor or is it "the sweet set up"?

BrianG 03.22.2010 08:36 PM

I think it's a sweet setup. Gotta figure it's about the same size and weight as an 8th scale buggy with buggy diameter tires, so it only makes sense that a buggy motor would be perfect for it.

Arct1k 03.22.2010 09:44 PM

If I could just get rid of one of my CRT.5's I'd pick one of these up...

nitrostarter 03.22.2010 09:46 PM

Chris, they are picking up these rollers for $100 or less after selling the DX3s and engine and starting system.

Arct1k 03.22.2010 10:00 PM

Its not the $'s... Its I can't have another car in the basement...

6 Crawlers, 3 racers, 3 bashers... is too many already...

I really need to sell a crawler and a crt.5 then I can pick up a 10-T...

gixxer 03.23.2010 02:15 AM

I really like the look of this truck. Really want something to race though. Wonder if this could be made to fit 4wd sct rules. Looks like the lenght is good but its to wide. How wide would this truck be if set up with buggy wheels (they are close to the offset of sct wheels)?

stum 03.23.2010 07:12 AM

Anyone have plans for a ten-t SC truck? This would be the premium SC, nothing would touch it.... This is kinda cool in it's form, but at least for now won't be much fun at the race track as their is no class so you will get stuck going against 1/8 buggies, not that it wouldn't be competative... as I'm sure it would hold it's own just fine. The point being new bumpers and body mounts and a SC lid and tires and she would be the #1 SC truck on the market. Most track will have a 4x4 SC class this year and this will be the most durable and most capable on the 1/8 scale tracks...

E-Revonut 03.23.2010 07:27 AM

Stum- I won't be racing a 4x4 sc this year at CRC most likely and I don't know if your gonna want to bother unless they change their rules. The ten-t would def be out of the question with their current rule. They have he 4x4 SC class listed as a 10.5 motor and 2s lipo max. No way a 10.5 is gonna last long pushing a 4x4 slash or Ofna sc around the track
