I'll probably leave those on since I won't be removing the tires much. I do want to get those Losi black chrome wheels and 320 eclipes tires but $60.00 for all four is a bit much right now.

I like the toe plate idea, I may attempt to do the same thing.

today my Ten-T is ready :yipi:
mamba monster works fine on 4s lipo :lol:
i hope i be the first in austria

Received x2 Mike's Ten-T conversion Kit.

Excellent kit - well designed. Got my second Ten-T roller out and started building the truck.

I installed a Lehner 1950 - 5 Motor which at approx 3500KV should be plenty fast on 4S. I could not resist running it on 6S and it was a blast. The MMM did not appear to break into a sweat. The weather here in the UK is pleasant and sunny for a change so it was out first thing in the morning.

The pinion is 19 tooth so there is plenty of torque.

Once again thanks to RCM another Bruhsless 'Monster' is a realilty.

Thanks Mike for all your help.

Whoa, that thing must fly.

No way :surprised:

Nice ride, that thing must really fly!

Arrived at the office this morning and to my pleasant surprise Mike's kit was sitting on my desk. First in Canada :na:

Or so you think... :wink:

:eyes: The Plot thickens...

Seriously I have had so much fun with this truck it is like the first time I played with the brushless e-maxx all those years ago. The truck handles really well. Very nice truck to convert and hope the truck is going to be durable.

Installation almost complete, I would have had it finished last night but ran into a few snags. A few things worth of note:

- The battery strap included with the kit was too short for my application. Following further research on this forum I discovered longer straps are available. My fault. I just ended up buying the Losi straps at my LHS as I didn't want to wait for another order.

- I had a similar issue as IIICJACKIII with sizing of the screws. The original ones removed from the nitro parts were much smaller and a different thread size than the ones needed for Kit (both battery and diff mount) I ended up needing 5 M4 and 1 M3 screws to complete the installation. I figure no problem...so I head off to the LHS for some screws. Well I found out they don't sell screws individually and were only available in a kit at a price of $50.00!. Luckily I had a friend who had a few spares laying around.

Everything else was PERFECT! Thanks Mike and Brian for you assistance with this build. I can't wait to power it up.

Neu-Castle 2200kv
MMM ESC V3
20T pinion gear
2* 2s 5200mah 35C Lipos
Weight 7.2lbs (measured on a bathroom scale)

Now my Xray is broken:( Good job i ordered the ten-t kit:D i hope it will be here next week:D

I agree. It's just the right size IMO for smaller areas and has proven to be quite durable so far. I recently put in 120k fluid in the center diff and front tire ballooning has been greatly reduced. Perfect for bashing and still usable on a track, as long as you're not being competitive.

I'm running my lipos "on edge" so the straps were a little too short for me too. They would fit laying down, but the wires would be bent too much for my liking. I just used some double sided velco (from Lowe's; comes in a roll).

What screw issue did you have? The kit I got came with all the screws needed for the tray and the motor mount. Some were re-used from the kit (mixed std and metric).

A MMM 2200 system on 4s will be killer! Even a "buggy" size motor is more than enough. I'm getting at least 45 minute runtimes on 4s 5Ah, and still have yet to get to LVC, and at the end, everything is barely warm (I'd say ~10-15*F above ambient). The only time I was getting warm temps was when I was winding the motor out doing speed runs for 15 minutes straight, and even then temps were still well within the safe zone.

You'll love it!

great car
 

I will update the kit packing list to include some extra screws - better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them. Likewise, the kit includes a 10" battery strap, but we can substitute an 11" strap for the larger batteries upon request - I use a 4s 4200mah pack in mine - balances very well, fits the 10" strap perfectly, runs like hell and gets a great runtime. Larger pack may be best served with the 11" strap.

I agree with others on the truck - it has exceeded my expectations in the fun department - I think i could put a beat-down on the 1/8 buggies at my track with the right setup on this little beast. It certainly is impressive in its handling and durability so far (and like everyone else it seems, I blew the stock front tires off the rims the 1st time I ran a 5s through it).:surprised:

I ran 5s though mine a couple of times. Man, it was ballistic! Almost too much. 4s is much more manageable.

Agreed - 4s with the 1900Kv buggy combo is as close to perfect as I can imagine. The 5s run was just for fun(and it was fun)!

I like my crazy speed runs - so had to go with 6S. The front wheels are like pizza cutters. I am going to heed your advice and run it on 4S to save wear and tear on the whole set up.

Mike had included all the screws that I needed to finnish the installation. I mixed some of the Losi imperial screws when mounting the diff. I could not find the correct screws for the battery tray so had to use some of my own countersunk M3.

Battery strap was way too short - used double sided velcro and extended strap so I can fit taller batteries.

Mike - will you be offering spares such as the Delrin spur in the future?

Mohan

The spur is listed, but no picture - when I get the black spurs done I will get the picture into the listing. Nothing else really needs to be listed separately aside from the battery tray(in the drop down menu with the other battery trays now). :)

Thanks Mike - will browse RCM shop and order some spare spurs.

Totally agree with that. Set up a 1900kv in my hyper 9e recently and it seems just about perfect. Nice smooth power band and enough power to keep up with anything on the track.

+1. runs great in my 8ight e on 4s

just keeping track of the thread
 

just might get one

WTF Now my motor mount left the canadian customs-.- its going to bloody denmark :@

you haven't got yours yet moller?!?!?!...i thought that for sure you'd already be ordering another conversion....

Naah, i thourght the price was abit high, and when it came online i had just got my E-revo and Xray t2....
And because of the ash from the icelandic vulcano the danish airspace is closed, so it will be even more delayed :@

I see everyone is going with lower kv 8th scale motors. What do you guys think about a novak HV motor? I know the can's longer but still not considered an 8th scale system.

I think the hvmaxx will do much better in a lighter vehicle like this vs a full-on 1/8 truck or MT. I wouldnt like to guess at gearing, but either 3s or 4s lipo would be fine depending on the kv used.

I'm running mine with a MMM/2200kv combo on 4s and it fricken RIPS!!!! I got it geared (19/52) ...around 41mph I think...but this thing takes off QUICK!!! Might have to gear down when I try it out on a track...I'm also using 1/8 scale buggy wheels BTW

Yup, ran mine on the street yesterday and its insane.:gasp: There is so much torque on tap that punching the throttle at any speed just breaks the tires loose and it starts getting all squirrelly, what a blast. Currently geared at 20/52 but planning to gear up for some speed runs. The MMM/2200kv combo barely broke a sweat.

its a good looking roller on ebay

I ended up picking up some Traxxas screws to finish it up. they are sold in a pack of 4 or 5. I used 1 pack of 4m button head and 1 pack of 3m countersunk. Plus they had threadlock on them all ready.:) I ran it last weekend on a bigger track with a 3s 5000mah pack, 2200 mamba monster system w/ a 19t pinion. It was a little slow on the straights, but very controable on every where else. could use a bigger pinion, i will try a 21 or 22 next. temps w/ the 19t hit around 80-90 deg. F. 4s is just wicked!! I got a set of black chrome rims and losi king pins. they are smaller then the stock tires but look great on it.

Finally the danish air space is open:D so my conversion kit is on / at "International Dispatch, April 22, 2010, 11:41 am, FOREIGN CENTERJERSEY CITY NJ 099"

Now its just coming to the lazy danish postman pat:(

lol, by the time you actually get the kit, the Losi Ten-T V2 will be out. :smile:

V2? No way V3 or V4 remember postman pat needs to smash my rc stuff before they can deliver

Thanks, good to know.

Last night I mounted one of my old cell phone's with a built in GPS and speed program in the car to measure its speed. I ran about three passes and manged a top speed of 41mph. I might of squeezed more out of it but on my third pass one of those dam curbs came out of nowhere and sent the car airborne into a artistic flip consisting of cartwheels, somersaults and tipple axles (you know the ones that seem to go in slow motion). It survived the crash with only minor flesh wounds but I decided not to push my luck and called it a night. Brian, your top speed calculator was pretty much bang on.

This thread has been quiet lately....I figured everyone was busy gluing wheels :mdr:

You don't happen to have the Traxxas Part number laying around, do you? I'm having the same screw issue with the screws not fitting properly. I've gone through all my screws but didn't even think to pull out the ole Traxxas parts. If they don't fit, i'll just order some up.

Thanks!

4x4 SC
 

I'll second or third the request to make a version of this that could be a short course 4x4 for us racers. A longer chassis with longer center rear dogbone or universal and some 12mm hex's would be awesome. Maybe some kind of adapter or way to mount existing SC bumpers from a traxxas or associated sc truck.

Maybe some tracks limit "project" cars, but many like mine don't. I would have to make the truck go on a diet because 2s with a Novak HV4.5 would be within our rules. It just seems like this would be an awesome platform for 4x4SC. The body's, wheels and tires are out there that would make it fit the dimensions required.

Don't want to go through 24 pages and searched for ''vid'' and ''video'' but can't seem to find one. YouTube isn't helpfull at all. Does anyone have some vids up ??

Could someone measure the part LOSB4003 (Steering Turnbuckles). The length in total and length from start of thread to other start of thread. I ended up taking parts off my truck to give to a customer and then my turnbuckles were mis-shipped and didn't make our last order... I'm trying to retrofit some Traxxas ones for the time being (I know... I know).

I ended up giving the guy all 6 of them so I don't have any to measure.

Thanks!

My conversion is at the post office:D but they want coustoms tax for it:@

Btw for bashers: http://t-bone-racing.com/catalog/i443.html i just ordered one

And my ten-t will be parked for some more time, cause i just sold my brushless combo:( haha

If you have an 8ight, just make them 8ight% smaller! :lol:

Thanks for the tip... I don't have an 8ight... :lol:

The Jato turnbuckles can be used however the pillow balls are a little too small to accept the stock screws.

I ended up just finishing the conversion, gluing some wheels/tires, modifying some Revo 17mm hexes to fit, etc... and now just wait for the proper turnbuckles to arrive.

Until then I'm going to get some wheel time on the SC8-E (wow, what a blast!), and the LST-E.
