Losi Ten-T Conversion

[FG101C]

It's a little wide and a little short for the current sc bodies. The idea of this truck is to replace 1/10th 2wd gas trucks. Until more are out there there probably won't be a class, Losi is claiming slightly quicker lap times than the buggy though, so

I can actually understand that. Like I said before, it's about the same weight/size as a buggy, but wider like a truggy without a truggy's weight. It does handle very nicely and doesn't traction roll as easily as a buggy. And, being primarily a basher, I have it sitting up a little higher than a racer would with stiffer springs. Diff oils are stock (whatever they are). Also, the wider tires helps to get good take-off traction.

I'm really liking it so far and am thinking about offloading my XT8 truggy because the smaller scale/weight takes much less power so runtime is better. I am going to do more running to see how durable it is first though.

Sounds like a serious contender for 1/10 4WD racing!! How do you think it would compare to something like a B44 Brian?

I wish Losi would refresh their 1/10 racing models, but that's another thread!!

Hmm, I might just do that. I've been wanting to informally try it on a track, but after seeing how goopy/muddy it was a week or so ago, have been avoiding it. Time to charge up my 4s packs, and maybe even a 5s pack just to see.

I really have no idea how a B44 handles to compare. Glassdoctor would probably know far better than I since he actually races.

B44 is a midget next to one of these

The diffs have a really stinky grease that does resemble snot, it was not fun cleaning and filling them with silicone.

Lets see if mike puts the motor mount for sale tomorrow:D I REALLY hope so:)

[bryan]

So Brian G how is the ten holding up too the brushless power? Diffs etc.

[BrianG]

Still working ok. One of the front tires came unglued, but other than that, no problems yet. Have run 4 packs through it now.

Argh cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Haha

The spur is the holdup as mentioned earlier. I will get some white spurs done this week and make the kits available in a few days. I will ultimately be making black spur gears for this truck, but in the interest of the impatient, i can offer the kits with the white spurs very quickly. The motor mounts, battery trays and chassis components are done. :)

[Moller123456 !]

Sounds good mike:) Even my friends ask all the time" when will your ten-t be ready" hehe
all i need is the motor mount and maybe a spur:) Dont give a Sh** about the color
so PLEASE!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!! ad them to your web page :(

[bryan]

Dont recall it ever being mentioned, is this going to be mod1 gearing? Also thanks for the update Mike!
