Losi Ten-T Conversion - Page 12 - RC-Monster Forums

Roller weight was specified at the beginning of the thread. With no battery, motor, ESC, or tires, the weight was 4lbs 10oz. Stock tires are 125g each. Add the motor mount and battery tray, the weight should be around 6lbs.

I saw that. I was just wondering if there was a better estimate now that Mike has the prototype built.

If its 6lbs without esc, motor, electronics and battery that seems pretty heavy. My Xray 808 is 6lbs ready to go with everything except the battery. 6lbs with no motor/esc/servo/etc... seems pretty heavy to me. Maybe not a good choice for a 2s based 4wd SC. For sure to heavy to try and run on a 1/10 motor.

Someone should weigh an XL motor, MMM and 2s 5000mah lipo....

In regard to tires, Does anyone know if the old panther Komodo Dragon tires (the old small illegal truggy ones) are still being made? I think the buggy's are too small and the truggies are too big for this truck

Moller123456 ! · 03.09.2010, 12:08 PM

I got it to fit now:) i just had to make the hole in the middle bigger:D

Got an email today saying everything is on its way!

I ended up deciding on a Tekin RX8 combo (1900kv buggy motor) to go with it. In hindsight, I probably should have gotten the hotwire thingy too, but never thought about it until now.

nitrostarter · 03.11.2010, 12:00 AM

Yeah, the Hotwire is like the Castlelink except not as newbie friendly... It's pretty much a expensive must have.

BrianG · 03.11.2010, 12:58 AM

I kinda figured. It's just I have so many Castle ESC's that I subconsiously assumed I had what I needed. No matter, looks like Mike is out of stock of Hotwires anyway.

I just went to the Tekin site and can't seem to find any kind of manual on the hotwire, like what exactly it adjusts. Specifically, I want to set a 3.2v/cell cutoff, and/or some type of LVC comparable to Castle's "auto lipo" mode (that is VERY nice when running different packs). But it would be nice to see the everything it can adjust before I go ou and get it.

Tekin ESCs don't do "auto-lipo". You have to set the LVC specific to the battery you are running.

Lucky you brian:(

Too bad i just spend my money on a e-revo 1/10 -.- then i need to start saving money for the tent conversion AGAIN XD

nitrostarter · 03.11.2010, 09:31 AM

Go with a MMM...

Moller123456 ! · 03.13.2010, 10:27 AM

Today i got my HPI 17mm hex (#86821) And im happy to say it fits:D
I also tried to mount the e-revo 1/10 wheels on the ten-t and they run against the body even when the car isnt turning, but the wheels dont that offset, that might be a reason:)

nitrostarter · 03.13.2010, 10:45 AM

Yeah, definitely will need some offset if you want larger wheels.
