Sorry, should have included more information. I took my front end apart to borrow the parts to a customer when I was waiting for the brushless kit to be manufactured... When I put everything together, I set the steering servo much too loose. I think i've set it at a nice point, however on my next crash, i'll know for sure...

Now i'm having interesting problems with calibrating my DX3S to the MMM esc. Steering works, beeping on the MMM but no calibration. I reset the TX to zero settings and the ESC still won't calibrate for throttle/brake. Gives me the red light which I believe means my throttle/brake endpoints aren't set to zero, or there's brake/throttle being input.

I've bound/calibrated a buddy's DX3s and even a cheap Losi 2.4ghz transmitter... But for some reason mine won't work... Thoughts?

On your castle link, there's a setting for start up time or something like that (can't remember the name). set this for a longer amount of time.

Set it for 4 seconds (other models are 1.5 - LST/SC8)... same thing. This is baffling me. Usually i'm able to troubleshoot through this sort of stuff but i'm now... Baffled?

haha.

Your end points sholdnt be set to zero.Turn on your DX3S and hit model reset.Then try again. As far as the start-up i have all of mine set to the default 1.5 sec.And also my servo saver adjustment "factory" is 3/16" from the chassis to the bottom of the adj. nut. Hope this helps.

Sorry, again I should have thought about what I said. I meant that I "zero'd" the settings back to factory by resetting the model. I guess I didn't realize that most of the settings should have some sort of value, whether it be % or trims, etc.

As for the servo saver tip, greatly appreciated. I tightened it up pretty good but think I still have a little ways to go with the servo saver.

I like that this forum is full of good hands on knowledge, not people spewing information they were told by "a buddy of a friend"... I look forward to passing on some of my knowledge, however my history is in nitro engines and I feel that topic doesn't come up very often around here... (which is good :))

Err guys I see lots of ten-t's and mike's kit has NO ratings?!?!?

hmmmmmmmm? I like it alot ^^^^^^^^^^^^^:yes:

He means write a review/rating on the conversion product page.

Product Page [Here]
Review Page [Here]

Didn't even think about that, done. Should show up in a couple of days.

Thanks for clearing things things up chad. I know what he meant and my review has been done ! :yes:

Cause he will delete my low rating!

I still have trouble with the center diff, i have replaced 6 ball bearings, 1 center diff casing and 1 center diff "holder"


Im about to give up with this piece of F***ING JUNK!

It's a Losi, what else would you expect but junk? Seriously though, don't take this to personally, you being the only one I have read about having so many problems with the ten-t leads me to beleive its something with your setup or something that you are or are not doing.

I was thinking that too, but have seen pics of the other ten-te's and mine looks the same... apart for the electronics.. i have asked losi for advise and they said i maybe needed a new center diff holder, so they shipped me one (for free) and it still doesnt work. i have tried pretty much everything, and its still junk

Are you saying the Losi Ten-T is junk, or Mike's Conversion is junk?

I went out to the LHS track last night after work to play around. I ran for a tad over 50 minutes on each 4s 5Ah pack. Motor temp was a little high at 147*F at the end of the first pack, but it was 95*F outside so that's not that bad really.

I really love this truck! Perfect compromise between 1/8 scale durability and low power requirements of 1/12 scale. Even with 120k CD fluid, it still handles great. I thought my suspension would be a bit stiff for track use since I'm using Losi's stiffer gold springs, but it seemed to handle jump landings much smoother than a Slash (also playing around there) did.

I went into the store to cool off after the first run and the guy with the Slash was in there buying a 3s pack. He had the top off the Slash and his motor was too hot for me to touch. He had been in there for ~5 minutes longer than I was and his motor was hotter sitting there than mine was coming right off the track.

Moller123456 !, I don't know why you are having so much trouble with your setup. Like E-Revonut said, it has to be something specific to your setup. If you lived a little closer to me, I'd offer to meet up with you to get it running right, but several thousand miles is just too long of a drive/swim. :smile: Seriously though, once you get it running, I can almost guarantee you'll love it. Out of all the vehicle types/sizes I have, I like this one the most.
