I used a couple of lock nuts there. It's hard to see detail, but here's a view of mine:

http://scriptasylum.com/bl_conversio...es/ten_t_5.jpg

is the mmm and 2200 overkill for this conversion, or would the 2650kv cc motor a better fit, or even the cc clearence 1800 motor 1.5 turn?

would i be req to run a 4s batt as well? just trying to get a general idea. I want to run it in a sct class. i've read quite a bit on the forum, just looking for a quick non-confusing answer :)

thanks guys

I would grab ahold of a 1512 1800kv while you can. I,m really happy with it in my TenT.

Yeah, the 2200 would be overkill IMO. The 1512 size motors are perfect; plenty of power and stay cool while not being overly heavy.

At my track we an only run 1/10 scale motors so a 550 size is as big as it gets. 2 cell...... see what your local track alows! :oh:

so with the 1512 do i have to run a 4 cell?
or would 3 be ok....etc..

I run 4s with the 1512 and love it

With Bryan's help I've decided to build a 10T myself. I read the first few pages of BrainG's thread when it first started but was distracted with other things, now the more I read and research on this RC the more I want one. Will be selling one of my E-Revos to fund this new build, can't wait !

Already decided on a 1800kv 1512,MMM and possibly 3s, maybe 4s depends how the power to weight ratio is on the track with buggy tires ?

Thats good news J !! I dont think you will be a bit disapointed with the Ten. It's my favorite R/C of the heard

Hey Bryan,

How do you think a 810E buggy (Ten-T in buggy trim) would run with a Tekin SC4X 3400 motor & RSPro ESC on 3S. I'm looking at building a light 1/8E buggy for indoors and saving weight on the motor/esc/lipo would help a lot.

I think it will run great.

Just starting that exact project now. Only Im using a Novak HV 7.5 instead. Got it for $65 on the novak site. With Mikes conversion kit and 3s Hyperion 6500 pack. Shooting for a sub 6lb 1/8 buggy for racing indoors this winter.

Im starting a separate thread on it now.:mdr:

CASTLE 1512 1800KV"on sale" W/MMM or MMP.Inexpensive fast and a high quality product.Castle also has a new line of s/c motors now you may want to check out.

Cant wait to read about your build JHAUTZ:whip:

Thanks guys. I'll follow your new post JHAUTZ.

Finially ordered mine !
After I sell the messy stuff and the radio, Mikes kit will be next.

Me and a buddy are trying to decide weither to go 3s or 4s running a 1512 1800kv motor
The trucks are primarly for the track with a little bashing.
Objective is keep it light as possible hence wanting to use the 3s and MambaPro but the 25T pinion and low RPM's make me wonder if 4s would be better suited ?

Your opions please ????

I personally would go with 4s on an 1800kv motor. If motor rpms are too low, especially on sensorless, startup may be a bit rough. Of course, if using a sensored setup, this isn't a concern.

We will be running sensorless,
Thanks for solidfying my thoughts sir.

Curious about your run times whom run on 4s, what could I roughly expect with 4000mah packs ?

I know this is a very popular combo for buggys but what about for this application ?

3s, MMPro, 2650kv

3s on the 2650 motor would be better rpm-wise IMO.

I run 4s on the Tekin 1700kv buggy motor setup and get around 25-30 minutes of runtime at a rough guess.

3s 2650/4s 1512 your gaining weight and losing weight somewere else.Jeff i friggin love mine with the 1512 on 4s.

Thats the run time I looking for, or dang close

I know I know, But I'm a little concerned 4s might be a bit much for the track. I'm trying to set my buddy up the with the same set up but he's not as able to control the power, he's realitively new to BL so 4s he's gonna be all over the place. He's a few weeks behind me on building his so I reckon I'm just gonna have to expeiment some, just hopeing to save myself haveing to rebuild mine 2-3times to find the perfect track combo.

Thanks for your help gentlemen

what bodies are you guys running on your ten t's? any after market ones fit ok?

I have yet to have my 10T in hand but was thinking Stampede bodys might be perportionate ?
When I ordered mine this week I went ahead and picked up a clear body also, as great as the stock bodies look theres only 2 colors, kinda lame selection.

H e l p !!
 

Someone help me please !

What are the ID measurements of the RCM Ten-T battery tray ???

THANK YOU!

50-160mm:lol:

Thanks Bryan, I'm getting ready to order some 4s packs and thought I'd better check !

Plenty of room, with the Hyperion pack in the pic on RCM site I thought the tray might only be 44-45mm wide.

So you running 500mah packs ?
I decided on 4000mah packs to try and lighten the load a bit .

Yeah, I have two 5000 mah packs,and one 4500mah hardcase.

Hey Bryan, do you think a 51mm pack will squeeze into the tray ?

It's a tight 50mm..Theres plenty of material there you could dremel off if need be.

Yeah but option #2 requires more work. ;-)

Thanks Pal, Hope your having a good weekend.
Ben raining all day here but we managed to get to the track for a couple packs this AM in Slash 4x4's.

OBTW, the truck is a lot smaller that I thought it would be, Losi site said it's WB was 1/2" longet than my buggy and it's the same. Overall diamentions are so close to a 1/8scale buggy is kinda dissapoints me in that aspect. On the flip side I love my buggy so well see how this thing acts and handles ?

Introducing Bad Ju Ju.

I run a MMM w/ 2200kv and 4s. I ran 6s once - over the curb, through the flowers, cartwheeling into the air, and ouch, right into the rear door of my pickup. I think 4s is plenty of power.

The 1:8 buggy tires are mounted via a set of modified Revo hubs and the body is a trimmed ProGraphix Revo.

Good stuff!

Looks good...

Well I already have the RCM electric conv. for mine and I am wanting to change it to a sct now. Sounds like I will need
1. Slash 4x4 front bumper
2. Proline Protrak rims
3. Slash 4x4 front and rear body mounts
I was wondering what body fits the best, what hex's will I need for the rims, what rear bumper fits best?
If I forgot some thing please let me know.
Also what dif. setup would be a good starting point for an indoor clay track, med. bite kinda tight?
Also I will have to run 2s lipo, what would be a good motor setup for 2s?
Thanks a lot for any help,
Chad

The best body from all the riff raff is anything for the blitz.

Best rear bumper is the rpm slash 4x4.

Stock hexes can be shaved, or drill some slash hexes, or tekno hexes.

Diff set up that I run on an extremely tight track with high bite. 7-10-3

With two cell I would recommend the Castle SCT edition 1410 motor, someone here is running it with great results over the newer 550 cans. Pair that up with a reasonable ESC and your going to be golden.

Ofna SCRT10 body mounts work really well also. Some drilling and trimming is needed but they work really well.

A few precautions, the rpm slash 4x4 front bumper works well, but if not reinforced it is a waste of your time.

Also, I went 17mm hex so if you need a cheap set of protrack wheels PM me I have 4 sitting at home with no way of using them!

Hey Reno,

I run my 10T on a tight ,fairly technical track but dry loose conditons, what diff wt would you recomend ? Right now I'm at 7/10/3 its works ok but I know it could be better just a little unsure would to do next. Any advice would be appreciated.

So anybody notice with the new Ten-SCTE (http://www.losi.com/Products/Default...rodID=LOSB0127) Losi is now using a MOD1 plastic spur gear?

Makes sense unless Losi also wants to provide a set of wacky pitch pinions for the various setups people will use. If they made it RTR, they probably would have stuck with their oddball pitch and include the pinion (or two) specific to their stock setup.

Pretty much what I run.

I went to 6ish (mixed some 7 and 5) in the front just recently and it gives a little better rebound to gunning it out of a turn.

I've done some reading on a couple different forums and looks like 5/5/3 is a fairly common set up. Seems like it's a step in the right direction for our tracks here, hopefully tearing the diffs and changing will not be a waste of time ?

Thanks

1512 1800kV
20/52 (~40mph)
4S 4000 nanotech 45C (158x49 should fit?)

Will this be a good setup? Just need to decide on a ESC now.
