Thats good to hear, i've beat the crap out of mine for a while now and have only broken a rear upright,and bent one hinge pin "same side". :rofl:

What other body fits the Ten-T
 

Has anyone found any other bodies that fit the ten t?
I bought mine as a roller w/o a body.
I would prefer something tough like the jconcepts stuff. Considered a buggy body but not sure it offers enough protection. If limited to the stock body how are they holding up?

Also what is the best way to convert to 17mm. Looked at the traxxas ones but did not want to grind the spacer part off. Gets to close to the hub IMO. I've seen the FLM ones but don't like the way they stick out.
Thanks for any help.

Actually the losi bodies are pretty strong. As far as the wheel hexs the traxxas ones seem to be the easiest way to convert to 17mm.

Thanks Bryan

M2C Racing makes a 17mm Adapter Kit for the Ten-T. I cant vouch for them as I just used the Traxxas ones.

If you like the Buggy bodies some guys on the Losi forum have been modding the 8ight-E body to fit the Ten-t.

Yeah I have them now. Work great, bolt right on. However, like most I am guessing, I was concerned about how they narrow the vehicle so much with buggy wheels on. So he came back and said that he is deigning new ones to keep the stock width but wont be done for a few weeks.

I love my Ten-T but unfortunately have no one to run against around here... Anyone interested in buying or trading for a 1/8th truggy of some sort?

I used the Revo 17mm hexes and made the mistake of grinding down too much on the back without test fitting between grinding. Luckily I had a couple extra 17mm hanging around from some parts lot I got (god knows when?) in the past.

I have a Kyosho MP777 SP1 with Ultra Racing 7075-T6 (by Fioroni) front & rear shock towers, front C-Hubs, front & rear hinge-pin/toe mounts...brand-new chassis and brand-new Avid RC bearings everywhere (even the steering). It comes with a yellow Pro-Line wing, orange & black stock body, and is complete (including hardware) minus the engine, electronics, and wheels & tires. I was going to convert it to brushless, but if you're interested, I would love to have a Ten-T! The buggy is completely apart right now for a full cleaning and bearing replacement, but it would be cleaned and assembled if you were interested.

Edit: Oh, you wanted a truggy, I didn't see that at first...sorry.

Finally broke a front cvd axle last night at my buddys track.Bought a complete set of 4 for $33 on fleabay today incuding shipping. The down fall is the guy is in canada:whip:Guess im gonna be forced to get my 8ight t 2.0 out this weekend:lol:

So after reading this whole forum, my question is what diff fluids are people liking the most for racing? I am going to run the Tekin 1900 combo with a Losi plastic 45 spur and probably start with a 15 tooth Mod 1 pinion. There are a few modifications to Mike's conversion and the spur gear to make this work. Let me know what you guys are thinking for diff oils. I was going to try 7-10-2 but I am not sure.

If yo are saying 7 front 10 center 2 rear thats apretty decent starting point depending on your set-up and track.My question to you is why would you want to modify MIKES kit to run "losi plastic 45 spur".Do you have an abundance of Mod 1 pinions.The mod.8 spur that is included "MUCH MORE DURABLE THAN THE LOSI PLASTIC" along with your choice of pinion also included with the kit.
Just my .02 cents
Oh yeah, got my c/v shafts from canada today so i was able to get in a couple packs:party:

FYI: The stock setup is not Mod 1, it's kinda in between Mod 1 and Mod 0.8 (or 32p). Mod 1 may work, but there will probably be premature wear.

Yeah I am running Mod 1 since I have so many pinions. I always keep spare spurs also since I run 8T 2.0 with the Losi 45 tooth spur.

If you ever need another set of awesome CVDs, or just don't have a lot of money to spend on awesome CVDs, RC-Best (on eBay) has some of the absolute best CVDs available, and they are just $30-$40 shipped, including all 4 axle CVDs and both center CVDs! I have run them in everything from a 3.89HP .28ci Big-Block Supermaxx to an MMM/2200kV Revo to a Brushed 55T Super-Class Rock-Crawler with Moab XL Tires on Aluminum Wheels (both weighted), and they have taken everything I have thrown at them, including standing back-flips, as well as powering out of situations where the tires of my crawler were wedged between two rocks...they are that good!

I have to agree here, the spur-gear included in the Ten-T BL Conversion Kit is awesome...not only is it made out of Delrin, which is extremely strong & durable, as well as having an extremely low friction coefficient (doesn't wear out & is super-quiet), it is machined by Mike to his absolute perfect precision standards. There just isn't any reason not to use it.

I just got my conversion kit yesterday, this thing looks great!! Now I'm just waiting for my damn Ten-T to get here. I did make one mistake though, I must have entered something in the speed calc wrong and ended up ordering the wrong pinion. A 25t with a 2250kv T8 might be a bit much. Hopefuly my LHS will have something smaller while I order another one from Mike.
