Um, what dimensions??

Yaay the Xerun combo is coming tomorrow:D and battery's and so on in about 1 week:D Now i just need the motor mount:(
Btw. Brian... i Donated 2$ to you website XD

Not much, but better than nothing;D

So I can get a 10T for 405 shipped its dead tempting but how/where are you guys selling the stuff?

Ebay and RcTech

Thanks man! It's appreciated!

Yeah, ebay for me. If you can sell it private sale, you'd probably be better off because ebay and PP take a pretty good chunk after all is said and done.

Then i hope you can get mike to build the conversion faster;D MUAHAH:lol:

Oh, sorry. A few posts back (#117) I asked you a question about the wheelbase and track of the Ten-T compared to a 1/8th scale buggy.

I already saw your side to side comparison pic, and it looks like it is about a 1/2 inch shorter, but I was wondering if you could let me know better. Thanks.

BTW I have one on backorder from Horizon, but I'm not sure when that is coming.

Well, since Mike has my vehicle at the moment, that will be a bit tough. :wink:

the "official" wheelbase of the ten-t is: 11.75 - 11.875 inches (298.45 - 301.625mm)
and the 8ight buggy has a wheelbase of: 12.71 - 12.87 inches (323-327mm)

Got the Xerun combo today:D looks great.
batteries and alot of other junk for me just came to denmark:D
i just need the bloody motor mount:@

Mike's kit is getting closer to completion. Spoke with him today and there is progress.

Yaaay:D That makes me happy after cutting my finger with a very sharp knife:D
Any idea of how far he is?:D

Somewhere between "just starting" and "complete". :na:

Thats what she said....

Cool project though Brian, if it proves to be a durable truck it would make for a great little basher- buggy sized truggy, whatever next...

well thank you, that helps alot:D XD

Is it going to be hard to convert the hexs' to 12mm for short course?

Im 99% sure that mike is making them:) But you will need to use the 2.2 - 3.0 rims... 2.2's wont fit... as i see it
But remember, slayer wheels are 14mm hex and SC8's are 17mm

YAAAY (again) Just got a package with batteries and alot of other junk:) For 343$ and for some reason i didnt need to pay customs tax:D

Did you order from Hobbycity/king? I do love that feature on the checkout page... :mdr:

I know Mike is busy, but has he given an ETA on the conversion? There are alot of guys here that are anxious to get a ten conversion.

ETA is VERY soon. I should have the basic conversion package done today or tomorrow if all goes well. The spur gears will be custom 52t mod .8 Delrin and will likely be the holdup on the kits in the end. A 12mm hex is an afterthought, but these trucks use a 6mm axle vs. the 5mm standard on the 12mm hex vehicles, so if a 12mm hex is used the wheels will need to be drilled out(and wheels must be 30 series as a 2.2 won't work as mentioned above). :)

So Mike, just for the benefit of everyone here, what will be included in the kit? Are there any optional parts? Pictures (you can email those to me and I can host them)?

For those who want to plug in numbers into the calc:
- stock tires are ~4.125" diameter
- diffs are 3.889:1 ratio

The kits will include everything needed to convert the car(mechanical - no electronics). This includes the motor mount, spur, pinion, etc. :)

i didn't read the whole thread, but i'm wondering if you could use these FLM adapters to run the 17mm buggy wheels. they use the 6mm axles.

EDIT: now the link is right...i had the wrong ones listed first. :)

any thoughts?

those should work fine. :)

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, i'm new to the site. What sort of motor's will fit the mount, or will it be generic drilled to fit MMPRO, MMM, R8's, etc?

It will be able to fit Tekin RX8 or similar sized motors.

BTW: Welcome to the forums!

With the 52t spur, it will accept 15-24t mod.8 pinions(small pinion limited by the motor diamater rather than the mount itself). With a 36mm diameter motor, it will accept 12t - 24t mod .8 pinions. The motor can be installed/removed and/or adjusted with a single screw that is easily accessible. Pinions can also be swapped without the need to remove anything aside from the pinion itself(like all our mounts).

Where do I send my money to make sure i'm one of the first to get a kit from the first batch?

We don't do pre-orders, but they will be available soon enough.

Sounds great Mike! Looks like you need a large batch here... More and more people are signing up!

Hey been away on a tiny ski holiday for some days, and i see mike is allmost finish:D WHAT GREAT NEWS:D
suicideneil: Yep thats where i got it:) That would be a great feature:) XD

A couple quick pictures. :)

WOW Thats pure porn;D The only problem is, that i put carbon fiber on the underside of the chassis and mud guards and i cant get it off :lol:, so im not sure that i can mount the battery tray-.- then i'll just have to figure something out-.-
Is the esc plate connected to the battery tray? Cause i dont need the esc mount:P

The battery tray in that picture is actually a 45x168 w/esc shelf from my 'normal lineup', but the actual tray will be 50x160 inside with an esc tray - and it will bolt to the chassis directly(pre-drilled). The battery/esc tray is made of plastic, so you can either cut the esc portion off or substitute one of our regular trays with your kit if you like. :)

Do you have a price yet?:D

Haven't finalized the pricing on this kit yet - have to cost out each individual item still. Soon, my friend. :)

A work of art. :great:

DAMMIT!!!! time to sell more stuff...lol...mike, any reason why you did just go mod1 on the spur?.....or will that be an option?.....just asking because i got a s**t ton of mod1 pinions FS otherwise... :P

Man that looks good, my Ten-T is waiting and ready to be brushless.
