Losi Ten-T Conversion

[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.

I agree. It's just the right size IMO for smaller areas and has proven to be quite durable so far. I recently put in 120k fluid in the center diff and front tire ballooning has been greatly reduced. Perfect for bashing and still usable on a track, as long as you're not being competitive.

- 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.

Neu-Castle 2200kv
MMM ESC V3
20T pinion gear
2* 2s 5200mah 35C Lipos
Weight 7.2lbs (measured on a bathroom scale)

I'm running my lipos "on edge" so the straps were a little too short for me too. They would fit laying down, but the wires would be bent too much for my liking. I just used some double sided velco (from Lowe's; comes in a roll).

What screw issue did you have? The kit I got came with all the screws needed for the tray and the motor mount. Some were re-used from the kit (mixed std and metric).

A MMM 2200 system on 4s will be killer! Even a "buggy" size motor is more than enough. I'm getting at least 45 minute runtimes on 4s 5Ah, and still have yet to get to LVC, and at the end, everything is barely warm (I'd say ~10-15*F above ambient). The only time I was getting warm temps was when I was winding the motor out doing speed runs for 15 minutes straight, and even then temps were still well within the safe zone.

You'll love it!

I will update the kit packing list to include some extra screws - better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them. Likewise, the kit includes a 10" battery strap, but we can substitute an 11" strap for the larger batteries upon request - I use a 4s 4200mah pack in mine - balances very well, fits the 10" strap perfectly, runs like hell and gets a great runtime. Larger pack may be best served with the 11" strap.

I agree with others on the truck - it has exceeded my expectations in the fun department - I think i could put a beat-down on the 1/8 buggies at my track with the right setup on this little beast. It certainly is impressive in its handling and durability so far (and like everyone else it seems, I blew the stock front tires off the rims the 1st time I ran a 5s through it).

[BrianG]

I ran 5s though mine a couple of times. Man, it was ballistic! Almost too much. 4s is much more manageable.

[RC-Monster Mike]

Agreed - 4s with the 1900Kv buggy combo is as close to perfect as I can imagine. The 5s run was just for fun(and it was fun)!

[mohanjude]

I like my crazy speed runs - so had to go with 6S. The front wheels are like pizza cutters. I am going to heed your advice and run it on 4S to save wear and tear on the whole set up.

Mike had included all the screws that I needed to finnish the installation. I mixed some of the Losi imperial screws when mounting the diff. I could not find the correct screws for the battery tray so had to use some of my own countersunk M3.

Battery strap was way too short - used double sided velcro and extended strap so I can fit taller batteries.

Mike - will you be offering spares such as the Delrin spur in the future?

Totally agree with that. Set up a 1900kv in my hyper 9e recently and it seems just about perfect. Nice smooth power band and enough power to keep up with anything on the track.

+1. runs great in my 8ight e on 4s

[onetoo3]

just might get one

[RC-Monster Mike]

The spur is listed, but no picture - when I get the black spurs done I will get the picture into the listing. Nothing else really needs to be listed separately aside from the battery tray(in the drop down menu with the other battery trays now). :)
