Losi Ten-T Conversion

[V0RT3X]

Is the tray 150mm or 160mm long?

160mm

Can anyone who has a Ten-T tell me if it is possible to fit stndard 2.2 wheels on it?

As far as why I am asking: My club is starting a 1/10th truggy class but to keep out the E-Maxxes and E-Revos (which are labelled as 1/10th by Traxxas) we have a max tire diameter rule that necessitates standard 2.2 truck tires.

I've been thinking the same thing. IIRC, it uses 14mm hexes, so that's one thing that'll have to be changed (to use 12mm hexes). Aside from that, the only possible roadblock I can think of is to make sure the axle carrier unit will fit inside the wheel hub.

2.2 for a 1/10 truggy, there are only two out there the ofna and the tent I am not sure to the hyper tt wheel size, but that seems small for this class.

That is why I asked - I was hoping someone could take the 14MM hex off and just see if a 2.2 wheel would fit. I can get 12MM Tekno hexes for 6MM axles but was hoping not to have to spend $400+ on the truck just to find out if the wheels will fit.

Exactly: the class is designed primarily for the Ofna and Hyper and any other 1/10th 4WD the same size as a regular 1/10th 2WD stadium truck.

The 12mm plastic hubs have a 5mm hole, can be drilled out to 6mm easy enough. The front spindle/carrier is pretty big so a 2.2/3.0 SC type wheels will be needed or a full off set 2.2 like for the Hyper TT .

How do you mount the motor properly via the lower bushing? Do you use a shim on the screw so it pushes against the bushing?

[suicideneil]

You arent ment to, but you can add a shim to the screw yeah. The lower bushing is designed to be a super-perfect fit so only allows the motor to swing side to side, not to tilt backwards away from the mount- the upper mounting screw pulls it tight as such.

[RC-Monster Mike]

The lower bushing functions as a pivot point. We do have a new style captured bushing now, which functions the same but has a "built in" washer. The straight bushing allows easier removal of the motor along with easy gear mesh adjustment. The captured bushing retains the easy gear mesh adjustment while adding security at the pivot point, but motor removal with the captured bushing requires removing the bushing(lower screw), unlike the straight bushing.

[BrianG]

FWIW, I've been using the regular bushing in my setup and haven't had any problems with the motor or mount...

[RC-Monster Mike]

Same here. The captured bushing is a psychological improvement - not necessary, but puts the mind at ease for the non-believers(like you once were, BrianG).

lol, yes, I was once a non-believer, but now I see the light! (Said in my best gospel tone).

Test fitted a 1520, seems to hold fine.

Also ordered 4000 4S 25C nanotechs and the new HK servo.
Anyone busted the stock delrin gear? Think I've read that 8ight-E spurs fit, anyone tried it? Looks fairly bulletproof though.

[nastety92]

Has anyone tried using a Mod1 Spur Gear instead of the Delrin Mod 0.8 gear that comes with the kit?

I'd love to use a Mod1 so my D8Te and Ten-T use the same pinion gears.

Thanks,
Nick
