1/10th scale gt?

[Moirae]

Can anyone point me in the direction of some good 1/10th scale gt's to look at? preferably something that could fit an mmx8s? I have no clue about them but I need something to do with this tp 4040 cm 3770kv =(

Kyosho Fazer or HPI Sport look pretty nice.

I’ve been looking at the Fazer myself. Looks like a solid platform.

The MMX8S is going to be way way overkill for a 1/10th scale on road car even the MMX6s is overkill for something that small. Most if not all of the 1/10th scale on road cars you will have a hard time fitting a 4092 motor in as well and the drive trains will never be able to handle the power.

A neighbor has 2 Fazers. Pretty sweet rigs His 5 year old goes hard with it, and the car just takes it.

Have you considered a 1/10 drag car? There are plenty of upgrade options to beef up the drivetrain on them.

I’d look at a drag slash or Losi 22 drag car. I haven’t heard great things about the associated DR10 and would avoid that one for big power.

A 92mm can would stick out past the wheels in a Drag Slash as the motor is mounted sideways behind the shock towers. @phildogg fits an XLX2 and a big Castle can in his 4x4 Slashes but I don't think it is 92mm long and it doesn't look like he has much room left.

I think @Moirae is rocking a 40mm x 74mm motor, not 92mm length.

 

[fozzy71]

Oops, I think I confused this thread with another thread. I say 4wd slash then.

 

[Moirae]

Thanks for the input guys, yea it's a 74mm long motor and I really regret I bought it at this point lol. Seems like it's not good for anything I want to do. Looking like the 1/10 gt dream is dead already according to yall!!

I don't really have any interest in building a drag only car. I kind of just wanted something light weight that would be easy for this lil motor to turn into a ripper. I only thought of 1/10th gt because I figured they would be lighter than a typhon 6s.

I would just use my typhon 3s but it seems extremely troublesome to fit an mmx8s in there and nothing smaller is going to survive that motor unless I gear so far down it's not fun for me.

Seems like the vendetta probably would have been one of my best bets but the odds of me buying another arrma 3s rig seems slim to none.

4Tec on 35mm Contacts. Castle 6400kv/MMX6S. This thing is a rocket and sticks to even polished concrete very well.

Back off my wiring I'll get to it

^^ Edit: That is sick. I never even considered a 4tec but now I want one. Thx, I needed to spend more money.

Yeah, my Vendetta is the one Arrma I regret buying. I have probably driven it 4 or 5 times. Maybe if I put some 42/100 wheels, a better body, and 4s SCT system in it would be more fun?

The answer is always more power

That looks really cool! can you fit grps on there?

I'd be tempted by the vendetta if it could easily fit grps. I don't want to maul a body to make it work =(

Check out the chassis kit Saga customs makes for the 4tec 2.0
That may be your best bet.

https://www.sagacustomrc.com/store/..._(Please_read_listing_before_purchasing).html

He also makes one for the Hobao EPX if you want to try belt drive.

Plenty of room on either to run big motors batteries and a MMX8s

 

[Mikeeeeeal]

Yep the Saga chassis is hot ^^^^

You can get GRP's on a 4tec with standard 12-17mm adapters but they'd be far too big IMO. Perhaps the 4tec 3.0 would take them without looking like a big wheel. FWIW the 3.0 is basically identical to the 2.0 just a longer chassis. Difficult to find lids for it tho.

The other issue with GRPs on there is it will ride high.
I think for a 1/10 its best to stick with traditional foam tires assuming we are talking about speed use.

That 4tec actually looks kind of cool! this would totally be for a street basher though which is probably another reason why I shouldn't have got a 3770kv motor but at the time I didn't think running it on 4s would be so hard X_X

Serpent 748 natrix?
It was designed for high speed applications.
@gotnitro is building a serpent 750 but not sure if the 4040 fit or not. Mmx8s did though

Foams will chunk in the first 5 mins as a parking lot basher.
Id probably go with a 4tec 2.0 and just swap that motor in with a MMX6s esc. Everything should fit.

This was a 4tec 2.0 with a tp 4050 and mmx8s.
I cut the sides of the chassis and then put a piece of carbon over the top of the plastic chassis so that I could put the 2s packs on each side.
The saga chassis will make it waaaay easier to run mod 1 gears and fit everything you want in there.
