New Team losi 810 buggy

[slimthelineman]

all im sayin is its rediculous to say no to one class cause a car is bigger(mostly weight wise) and yes to another where the car is smaller and waaaaaaay lighter. pretty blatent double standard if you ask me.

rootar: relax and get well dude, in the meantime enjoy being comfortably numb!

Because using a SC8 or RC8 based r/c in a 1/10 class the cars will have WAY more power then the true 1/10's and there for have an advantage.

Where as a smaller car will not be able to fit the same amount of power in it....the 3.4 will not make half of the power that a good modded .21 or .28 will make.

and if you try to stuff a big motor in this car it will just slid all over the place and be at more of a disadvantage

and btw there might not be a minimum size but there is a minimum wieght, 3200 grams so its about 1000g shy. not complainin, i could care less honestly, its a matter of principal. and what exactly does larger mean? bigger componets? a sc body fits perfectly on an 1/8 scale buggy based sc.

losi: what are you still harping on? im lost

[slimthelineman]

dont know about more power, in mod sc any mod motor is allowed. for example jeremy kortz runs an exceleron 1/8 scale system in his 4x4 sc truck. by that logic it should have more power to weight than a similar 1/8 setup

[rootar]

guys we are sooo far off topic, i guess im too blame, all i meant was that they messed up marketing it as an 8th scale, thats all. there is plenty of guys to argue with over on rc-tech about 4x4 sc trucks. no since in doing it here.

altough i do think........

lol

[Losi LST2]

Whatever guys i'm done in here.....

I'm still going to probably buy one of these, still probably going to run it in 1/8 scale buggy, at a local club track where people don't seem to be as picky as they are on here

then when losi releases there 4x4 SC based on the 10t....i'll buy one of those and race it aswell..

[rootar]

I do hope the sc version of this truck is the best thing since sliced bread because all the jammin and hyper sc pilots around here need every new advantage they can get to get on pace with me and my good ole pos traxxas! it is funny but also serious.

[slimthelineman]

thats great dude have fun with it, thats was racing is about. not being picky, section 5 of the rules state classes are difined by scale, that is why i see a conflict where a car can be legal in 1/8 and 1/10. which one is it? sorry if i came on strong but i race alot and people are that picky here in so-cal, even at the club level. personally i think its cool to see an affordable 1/8 scale rtr. will bring more people to the hobby, but like i said with as strict as the rules are seems like they are bending the rules to favor losi if it will be legal to race a 1/10 sc based on a 1/8 buggy, based on a 1/10 truck. no?

[slimthelineman]

all fun aside, it really doesnt follow the rules. minimum weight is 3200g nevermind all the other B.S., its not a race vehicle, it is a race vehicle.... whatever just make sure you actually read the rules before you quote them guys, hate to be the jerk, but sometimes its so easy.

P.S. if they do decide to base a 4x4sc on the ten-t 810 whatever the heck you want to call it, its waaay out of spec as defined in open 4wsc IN THE RULES... quote the raven "and never more"

Wonder if the longer chassis will solve all those woes with everyone making the Ten T into a SCT.

[slimthelineman]

according to the dimension limits it will need a longer chassis and narrower suspension arms to get closer to being legal according to the goobers at roar. keep a copy of the rulebook on my laptop so i have it while at the track and people start to tell you whats what. as long as they play by the rules i think it would be a great sc truck. but at the same time how can a 1/10 platform be a legal 1/8 car but a 1/8 cant be a legal 1/10? also an rc8 based sc would be legal as long as it ran a 05 size motor and 2s lipo if anyone cares. seems like roar need to actually have rules that prevent jerks like me finding loopholes and flaws.

To be legal in 1/8 buggy class all it would need is a little weight added t it. Nice part about that is you can add it where you want it to help with handling.

I personally have no love for Losi, but this looks like a great entry level decent quality kit. I seriously doubt that any club races would have an issue with running it. Most of the sportsman classes around here let you run any 1/8 RTR buggy if you are running it stock as purchased. I doubt anyone racing in a expert or pro class would be running this kit.

The part that makes me smile is the RCM Ten-T conversion kit should be a bolt on conversion for this buggy as well. I'll probably pick one up and convert it with the Ten-T kit and race it this winter indoors with a 2 or 3s setup. Probably will be a fun lightweight low cost buggy. I always wanted to get a Ten-T but never really thought i would use it enough to justify it. This I would use.

Jhautz, I have been thinking that same thing, that the RCM conversion would work. If and when you get it done could you post some pictures and let us know your experience. I would be very appreciative.

well to me it looks fun, stock it weighs about as much as my carbon 8ight im sure i will pick up the frist cheep roller i find
