Losi SCTen-T (SCTT) Carbon Electric Short-Course Conversion.

I still would like one. Maybe you could leave the center diff holes for me to cut and I can go with the Ten-T center diff.

Great news about Losi though. It will make this all better!

i am actually designing two different chassis'. one will use the stock ten t center diff and use a ten t rear cvd in place of the front to get the added length. the other chassis version will make use of a 1/8 center diff and drive line, most likely the losi 8ight parts to keep things within the same brand. this will allow more options for use of tekno traktion drive, mod1 gearing, etc.

it is taking me a while to design these this time cuz i am teaching myself CAD as i go. before i would make a chassis by hand with my dremel tool and then pay a guy to measure and draw it in solidworks.

also, the carbon i have now is formed with the kickup angle so it will be much stronger than previous chassis' that i had heated and bent. i am very excited to get these done.

i will definitely post pics as progress is made.

sorry this build has been going so slow but learning CAD is taking me longer than i though....mostly because its hard to find the time. so thursday night i sat down and busted out a prototype in like 5 hours. i just got my conversion parts yesterday so i should be able to finish the build this week for sure. here is the chassis plate. i extended it 1.25" to give it a wheelbase of 13" which is within roar specs and about the length of most SCTs. also, chassis plate is 6.75" wide. i will use tekno mudguards and this is the average width of most SCT chassis' out there. even with the chassis being 3" wider than stock and 1.25" longer it still weighs 12 grams less. and this is before i have drilled any of the mounting holes, etc. it will probabaly end up being about 30 grams less than the stock chassis. see the pics!










but, also wanted to show everyone this. it looks losi had Mike Truhe out driving the SCT 4wd prototype. it is definitely based on the Ten-T as you can see in the pics that is the Ten-T chassis for sure. cant wait to see their finished product. i am still going ahead with my conversion though as i will be able to have mech. brakes and i am doubtful that Losi will make their SCT with mech brakes. click link below for pics and article.

Where to you get the carbon fiber with the kickup in it? Also if you plan on making more than one I am interested.
