Losi TENACITY TT Pro 4WD SCT Brushless RTR

Is the Ten platform as good as Losi claim? Is the drive-train as good as the 6S Senton?

Also interested in the above, I'm vaguely familiar with the Ten platform, but don't know much about it.

Depending on the price point, this could be a great alternative to a Slash or Senton.

Wasn’t the ten line up a little slated when it became available in 2017 ish have they upgraded or improved things? I’d still go for a Senton ATM.

Looks like it's just the DB with a truck body. From the reviews of the DB I've seen this should be pretty good.

It's a 3s vehicle, not sure why you'd compare it to the 6s Senton? The 3s and 6s Senton are nothing alike. 

 

Imho, it looks miles better than the Senton. Visually, i mean. In regards to electrics, it's better than the Senton 3s as well, the SMART stuff is actually good (well.. at least the one system i've been using - telemetry out of the box is always great). The Senton uses internal plastic gears, not sure what this is using. The 3s Senton is a full plastic chassis, this isn't.

 

I don't actually think these two are comparable (not in price either, btw). I think it'll be plenty tough, but i don't think if nowadays i'd pay that kind of money for a bashing SCT if the 3s Senton is simply good enough. 

 

My guess would be at the very least £400 (that's a low guess) - and then, the 3s Senton simply is the better value choice. Imho.

 

edit: i love the looks of the Ten DB Pro. Don't tempt me.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say he's asking because they will be at a very similar pricepoint and he owns a 6s Senton.

But this is a 3s designed vehicle that is by and large going to be a lot more expensive and a lot heavier than the 3s Senton.

For someone wanting more power, more speed and likes to run 6s, this won't even be in the wheelhouse, yet it'll be very similar in price (I am guessing with that also) and obviously size as the 6s Senton.

Chassis is personal preference too, I like a plastic chassis, as long as it's strong.

Metal isn't always better, when it bends and doesn't go back to shape, you're knackered.

IMO the 3s Senton is the best/strongest value for money basher you can buy right now, provided it's going to be used and not sit on a shelf being just looked at, it's definitely not just good enough.

The Slash is too expensive for what it is, considering how old it is, theirs no valid reason other than greed for it to be so much money.

Most other SCTs are either outdated and can't find spares or way more expensive or just crap.

And unless you're speed running or mostly just run on tarmac, even the 6s Senton isn't really 'better' it's just a bit faster, in the right situation.

It's actually lighter than the 3s Senton by a few grams (2.75kg for the Senton, 2.72kg for the TT). 

 

Other than that, i'm not gonna argue with you here, i don't share your opinion, other than the bit about the slash. 

Agree on the plastic sentiment, done right and it's actually better than ally, just look at the X-Maxx!

 

I was asking because I own a 6S Senton, as far as I'm aware the only 1/10 SC available with a 1/8 drive-train. It just runs and runs. Given limitless power supplies, which car would stop first due to wear and tear? Just straight line, full speed running, who's got the toughest drive-train? I'm always curious about this because I cut my RC teeth on cars that were appalling when it came to going the distance. (Traxxas)

 

I have these thoughts and run these numbers with every new release, regardless of genre. It's what I do, each to their own.

By the looks of this, it's a budget SCTE 3.0. They've economised on the aluminium parts but if they use the same materials in the shafts as the SCTE 3.0, it should be fairly robust.  It's a 2S car but will take 3S though, it's based on a SCT for track use. The Senton 6S is a 1/8 buggy with a fat body and SCT wheels. Stick an SCT body on a TLR 8ight 4.0 and you've got your Losi analogue.

No, that's the Tenacity, the TEN Has been around for the best part of a decade. It's the same as the 8ight but lighter all around. The TEN became the SCTE line probably 8 years ago. SCTE is still used by TLR but Losi has killed the TEN then resurrected it. It's a 1/10. I had a SCTE 2.0 and it was tough but light, lots of 7075 and carbon fibre. It's really a track car first and foremost. The Tenactiy was based on the SCTE 1.0 but with a plastic chassis. It was just a budget mess. 

So Ten = good,  Tenacity = not so good?

Thanks Mond I think [emoji848] that’s what confused me it was the tenacity that was slated, ill get mi [emoji3452].

I was thinking along those lines too, all cleared up now. 👍

I agree Ten itself is a good platform but when I saw the electronics placement first thing come to mind receiver short in splash ... at least this comes with the Smart stuff and the DX2E .. STX2 is just bin-worthy

It uses the same setup that's in the SCTE 2.0 and 3.0. The 8ight receiver box and servo mount fits the same screw holes as the servo mount on the SCTE series, so I would put money on the 8ight E 3/4.0 box fitting this. I did it on my SCTE 2.0 but some cutting of the side guards was needed.  8ight X parts probably won't fit at all.

so this is cheaper version of TLR TEN-SCTE 3.0 ? 

I had one of the original ten platforms the mt when it first came out. Diffs where missing a set of star gears  so only used 2 instead of 4 like on the scte, plastic rod ends where total garbage AVC overworks the motor but I believe they changed the kv now to handle it better and now they use a steel chassis rather than the plastic ones. Most of the scte upgrades fit so plenty of options out there although sourcing is going to mean a shopping list aboard rather than here. 
 

All in all there plenty tough enough on 3s but I wouldn't push them more than that, but I have to say bashing 1/10th sct winner has to be the Senton out the box imo you just can’t beat it even though I’m a huge slash fan you got to give Arrma the credit on the Senton . 
 

If it’s not cheaper than the Senton then it makes zero sense to buy one imo which maybe why Arrma (now owned by Horizon) have discontinued it from there line up 🤔

It appears to be the case. Best thing is to look at the manuals for both. I would guess allot of the plastics are the same item number. The chassis, shocks, towers, hinge pin retainers etc are probably all different but interchangeable. It's also probably possible to transplate the SCBE cage onto this.
