Losi Ten-T Review

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Rc Fun Hobbies presents the newest Losi RTR, the TEN-T.

1/10 TEN-T Truggy RTR

Key Features

  • R.O.S.S. module to control one-touch remote starting
  • Lightweight black anodized aluminum chassis
  • Oversized 12mm anodized, threaded shocks
  • 4mm tie rods with captured ends
  • Losi digital steering servo for precise, powerful steering
  • Twin disc brakes for quick and reliable 4-wheel stopping
  • Large-capacity 75cc fuel tank for longer run times
  • Tank clunk for fuel pickup even when rolled over
  • 2-shoe centrifugal clutch
  • 320-series Zombie Max™ tires mounted on chrome 320 Force™ wheels
  • Losi 3.4cc performance engine with slide-valve carburetor
  • High-performance tuned pipe designed to maximize the 3.4’s potential
  • Two-stage air filter system to ensure a clean air intake
  • Sway bars included for better control and handling
  • R.O.S.S. on-board starting system
  • 7.4V LiPo receiver battery pack and charger included

Overview

The 1/10-scale TEN-T™ Truggy RTR packs all the innovation and performance of Losi’s groundbreaking 1/8-scale nitro platform into a 1/10-scale truggy. Built to take on any terrain or track, this fierce machine includes a ton of features in a compact, agile design, including a chassis with the engineering characteristics of the 8IGHT-T™. And to give you intense acceleration and top speed, power from the Losi 3.4 performance small-block engine is routed through a 2-shoe clutch and a bulletproof 4-wheel-drive system.

The TEN-T is equipped with a Losi first—the revolutionary Remote Onboard Starting System (R.O.S.S.). With the push of a button on the included Spektrum™ DX3S transmitter, you can instantaneously heat the glow plug and engage the electric starter. Getting to the action has never been so easy.

Of course, the Spektrum DX3S radio system does much more than start the engine. With genuine Spektrum™ 2.4GHz DSM® technology built in, the TEN-T offers precise, connected control not found on other vehicles. And with integrated telemetry, the DX3S displays up-to-the-second information such as speed, temperature and receiver battery voltage right on its screen.

The TEN-T from Losi. From top to bottom it’s packed with innovation—and a whole lot of fun.

Top Parkzone T-28 Mods

Monday, February 15th, 2010

RC Fun Hobbies presents this quick How To Video for making your own ParkZone T-28 Trojan Popup Canopy.

If you use lightweight parachute plastic men, you typically do not have to go inverted. The wind will suck the parachute right out of the canopy.

I hope this helps in making your own T-28 Trojan PopUP Canopy.

 

This is my Parkzone T-28 showing installation and operation of the Robart mechanical retracts.

 

I modified my Parkzone T-28 by adding flaps. Notice the installed the Du-Bro parkflyer skiis!
