Wow FG101C :) That looks sweet :D i first ordered my kit today... i hope mike will ship soon and declare what i asked him to do;D

Thanks, you will be impressed. On the track it's better than my 8ight buggy, and bashing is just incredible. The zombie max tires work surprisingly well.

I hope they do a Ten-B, that would be the perfect replacement to their current 1/10th 4wd buggy.

Yeah, the tires do work surprisingly well. Too bad they aren't glued well from the factory. Speaking of which, why do premounts suck anyway? I mean, if you're gonna glue a tire, it only makes sense to do it right.

Anyway, are you going to keep those irritating hubcap thingies on there?

One thing I did that I didn't show in a picture in this thread is to make a new rear toe plate. I didn't like the large toe angle and the way the rear arms swept forward. Making a new rear toe plate reduced the toe, brought the arms back (and aligned the shocks better), and also helped reduce wheelies.

[FG101C]

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.

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.

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.
