TTR Dt-10

[DT-10]

Hey all sorry I have not posted in a while but my part still is not in.. The gear diff was stripped and I have been waiting a 3 weeks from hobby town and almost 2 months from some guy I had orderd from on the net. He was sayin the Diff gears were on recall and I figured out why my car diff stripped out after 6 hours of run time... I still waiting on these parts...

Does anyone know of somewere to buy there parts so I do not have to wait for ever to get them... The best was for me to get them is threw the mail... Well thanks for the help...

The only problem with my DT-10 is the Diff and It ran great ! I had it for about 2 months and I like it... But not drove it for about a month cause I'm waiting for that part... I was also woundering if u can get a new body for it that is a 1/10 scale cause I want to buy dodge body for it so I can cut the back out so I can pull start it from there...

I need some tyres also these tyres are not worn out yet but I do not like them I want some meaty tires and some road tyres and suggestions on what I should get... I like in amish country so I drive on the road alot not really in grass or any thing...

Thanks alot

[mty]

where did you get the diff gears, and whereever that is, do they have the pinion gear?...

[DCLXVI]

You can mount pretty much any body to the truck...just as long as the measurements matches somewhat...

Ive been having problems with my car every time i give it any throtle it just dies on me. This only started when i finished breaking it in and changed the fuel needle. I have tried heeps settings and the same problem always occurs. What can i do to fix it i thought one of you guys might know

[DT-10 basher]

hi guys havent been on in ages, driving my new buggy, dt is screwed up as usual.

Aaron: try putting the needles back to the factory settings, and check your glow plug to se if it is alright.

[DT-10]

My back end is lower in then the front and I can't seem to fix this problem!!! Can someone help me out!!!

I orderd the parts from a guy on the net his Email address is rcairplanes@yahoo.com and the parts should be here any day...

[DT-10 basher]

be a little more presice could you?

[DT-10]

Never mind, I fixed the problem and I am geting the parts Friday or Saturday, I can't wait until I run it...

Any how I live next to this guy that works on R/C cars he been doing this stuff for 10 years and he knows alout about them He help me for free and he is the coolest dude ever when he gets his truck back togeather me and him are going to run ours, I cant wait... He knows every thing he had a buggy, car, truck and something ealse.. they look new he rebuilds them every year and takes really good care of them the buggy he had for 5 years look brand new...

[mty]

The e-mail address doesn't exist...is it correct?...

[DT-10]

yes... I will look l8ter and tell u to make sure

[DT-10 basher]

i was just wondering, how long does the piston/sleeve last in the TT15 engine?

[DCLXVI]

That depends on alot of things...but it should last a few gallons I think...

[DT-10 basher]

i can turn the flywheel round with my little finger but i can still feel a bit of pinch, is it time for a rebuild?

[DCLXVI]

No, when the pinch dissapears it is time...

[Aaron 285]

I sent my car into the lhs and the guy checked it out and it was my glow plug that was the problem so all is fixed now. Last weekend i took my car out to a friends place and for the first time it actually ran well. I tried my car on the road instead of grass and it flies. I also atempted my first jump with the car and it handled it well and this time nothing broke.

[DT-10 basher]

nice one, i havent been running my dt-10 lately cause ive been using my new buggy, which i jumped to high and broke again

[Aaron 285]

For some reason the exhaust on my car always seems to fill up with this thick oily stuff and then that travels up the pipe leading from it and the fuel tank can't get any air and the the fuel doesn't go into the engine. How can I fix it?:confused:

[DT-10 basher]

if your engine is running really rich then this could be the problem, or you can just bend the pipe round so that the stinger is angled slightly down then the oil should drain out normally. hope this helps

[Aaron 285]

What setting should the needle be on

[DT-10 basher]

the high speed needle should be 2.5 turns from full shut

[Aaron 285]

Would This body fit on a DT-10 http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXRP08&P=7

[DCLXVI]

Seems like it would be to small...

This one : http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXT553&P=7 are almost a perfect fit...

[Aaron 285]

I am thinking about selling my dt anyway. I have had no luck with it because every time i run it somthing breaks :mad: and then it is a 40km drive and a week of waiting for it to be rapaired. I am thinking of getting a team losi LST monster truck. Over here it is $1099 Australian, could i get it cheaper from tower hobies or some other site. Also how much do you think i could get for my dt. It has had about a litre of fuel through it and is in fairly good condition. :confused:

[DT-10]

Same here, I am thinkin about sellin my DT-10 to get a new Sport Traxx from Traxxas and I think that I will have better luck with it and I will be able to get the parts for that thing easier and I will not have to order the parts and wait 4 weeks every time I break this thing

[Aaron 285]

I have made up my mind to get a Thunder tiger MTA 4 which is the same as the monster gt but made by thunder tiger as team associated dont sell out of north america.

[pistole]

hi.

long time no see.

[DCLXVI]

Hi pistole, it has certanly been a long time! Life treating you good?

[pistole]

Hi.

Its been busy here.

Not much time for other things.

nice to see you're still active here.

[DCLXVI]

Well, right now it is winter here and I have not been driving alot lately...

Still have the DT-10 and the EK-4?

[pistole]

yes, I still have both those cars. They're all runing okay.

got into helis as well.

cheers.

[LazeR_88]

hello everybody, been out for long now.. now my dt10 have a custum made fron bulkhead (steel), steel rear shock tower, ported engine (much much faster), reinforced front c hubs, digger tires, relocated battery pack, steel gear steering servo, replaced diff ring gear (steel), and some other ****.. will post pics tomorrow..

[LazeR_88]

has anyone tried a 21.sized engine in this car?? i know it will be to much for the transmission, but i am planning on a custom made slipper clutch.. would be to cool to see a dt10 pass the 60mph barrier or pull a wheelie as you press the trigger..

[Dewgel]

I own a DT-10, in the UK.

Mine is very different from the manual pics and the box pic..

-I have a metal exhaust (silver coloured)
-I have a very thin servo thing.
-My pipes are green

Anyway, good to know there's some DT-10 Enhusiasts still out there...

-Steve

[Dewgel]

I just read through the entire topic, whoo...62 pages, took me 3 hours. Ha

Anyway, some of your messages solved a few of my problems, thanks =O

Shame to see this topic is now dying...3 years is a long time for a topic to live.

[DCLXVI]

It's not dead...it's just hibernating...

One of the problems is that I have done about everything I want to do with my DT-10, it's extremely reliable and fast now...I have no upgrades left to do, almost no part wear and so on - thus little to disscuss... :D

You are welcome to ask me how to get your DT-10 to the same spec. :)

Forgot to add that it's winter here and I don't run my truck in the winter... :(

[DT-10 basher]

my dt's radio is fooked so its not runnin, also i got a new buggy so ive been using it more.

[Dewgel]

I've FINALLY fixed the problems I had, I got my DT-10 moving higher than 5mph =)

I changed the Glow Plug, and I ran the tank bone dry...1st time I've done it.

Anyway, DCL, why don't you try putting some bigger engines on your DT-10, experiment with it? Try making custom things...etc

[DCLXVI]

I won't experiment with it because it works so good...I really don't need it faster or more powerful (I have problems keeping my front wheels on the ground during accelation) and I don't need it faster as it get somewhat uncontrolable at max speed as it is...

[Dewgel]

True, the DT-10 isn't the best for handling, I had mine out today (finally started rocketing).

Do you ever think there's something loose with the front wheels?

[DCLXVI]

Loose? The stock suspension is alittle bit on the soft side for hard ground (it likes to lift one front wheel when turning sharply)...

[LazeR_88]

hehe.. jumped my dt-10 yesterday.. broke a part in the steering.. dont rember what its called, but i have spare..

DCLXVI: i know swedish is not allowed but who cares... du sa att du var nöjd med din bil och att du inte hade nåt kvar att uppgradera.. jag vet inte riktigt hur hårt du kör men jag har problem med att min går sönder hela tiden.. senast i går pajja ena styrspindeln (5 meters hopp volta typ 10 varv ;D).. ändå har jag bytt dom delarna som pajjar mest, tex bakre dämpar torn egentillverkat i stål, nytt karossfäste (stål) främre bulkhead stål, förstärkta c-hubbar.. men skiten går fortfarande sönder.. kan du inte berätta vad du gjort med din..

[Dewgel]

Do you mind not doing that again, thanks...the majority of us here are English, and it's a community for us to read English threads and posts; so please just translate that for us.

[Aaron 285]

Hey Guys, Havn't posted in a while but still have the DT-10. Its been running great except for one thing when it has been running for a while (the time varies from 1-4 tanks of fuel) it will just suddenly stall. When i try to start it again the fuel just bubles in the carb and the fuel doesn't stay in the carb it just forces its way back into the tank. It starts again after about 15 minutes but is realy anoying. Can someone help me out?
Aaron

[DCLXVI]

Well, Laser, I think the main differance are that I do not consider the truck built for 5 meter jumps so if I were to break it doing that I wouldn't really blame the truck...and as for the modifications I've made...it's mainly the roll-cage that is of most importance...

Aaron, what glow-plug are you using, try replacing it if you are running your stock glow-plug...

[LazeR_88]

OK.. i know tthis truck isnt supposed to make 5-10 metres jumps again and again.. but i cant resist doin it.. the roll cage idea is good, because it will protect when landing 5 metre jumps upside down... hehe,, a tip is to make your own bulkhead of solid steel or alu.. since those bulkheads cant even handle the stress of a 2metre jump ffs..


dewgel: i know that already but i was to lazy to write the whole post in english.. i wont do it again, promise.. :rolleyes:

[Aaron 285]

I'm running an os a3 plug at the moment with 15% fuel

[Aaron 285]

Hey guys what engine do recomend for the dt :confused: . Im looking for a bit more speed and want it to be able to pull wheelies.

[DT-10]

Hey all have not been posting here for a while, but yeah... Do any of you by any chance know if any one is looking for a thunder tiger DT-10? I'm selling mine for 160 obo there was not much run time on it and its in good condition... Is any one intrested in buying it if so Email me at hornbalzz@hotmail.com

There is only 1 thing, the rear body mts are broke because my little nephew broke it when he was here and those things are only about 5-6 bucks, we can talk about the price if any 1 is intrested. I need to get this thing sold b-4 summer because I'm moving and we are not aloud r/c cars around the neiborhood I'm moving to so need to get this thing sold..

Thanks
Aaron

[DT-10]

Does any 1 talk in the board or am I going to have to look ealse where

[Aaron 285]

Hey guys just bought myself a new radio. Its the futaba 2pl. Its a great radio and it has a lcd display and even has abs braking. The reason why i bought it was because the wires in my throtal servo came loose and toched each other creating a short circut and every thing got fried. The thing is though is that i bought it down in Sydney ( 3 hour drive from home ) and had installed it all and then relised that my glo driver was flat and i had left the charger at home. Do you know any way to conect a normal batery to it ?
Aaron

[DCLXVI]

Anyone here still alive?

[Aaron 285]

Hey, its been dead for a while but nothing has been hapenning with me as its winter over in Australia and there has been to much rain to do anything.

[DCLXVI]

Well, I have just recenly put my truck together after the winter... :rolleyes:

[Aaron 285]

Hey, Just wondering and thought you might know, is it posible to put larger wheels on the dt 10 to give it more ground clearance. Also what engine do you have in your truck? I want more speed and power, what would you suggest?

[Aaron 285]

Also many engines have different crank shafts to the original engine. Do you have to alter the clutch assemble in any way to fit the dt 10?
eg. OS Max CV-RX

[DCLXVI]

I'd recommend the OS 15 CV-R, with a pull-starter if you don't want to use a starterbox, or tiger drive...
I got the short crankshaft version and bought fly-wheel and clutch seperatly...

[Aaron 285]

Hi
Do you have any tips on keeping my engine running for long peroids of time? The most i can get out of it at the moment is 2 1/2 tanks :mad: It just stops and the fuel evaporates in the carb and the needle is at least 3 1/2 turns out. Also Could you post a pic of your engine.

Thanks
Aaron

[DCLXVI]

I had that problem to with the engine getting to hot...I think I solved that by rerouting the fuel line so it goes up over the diff and enter the carb from the back side...that way the fuel keeps cooler, also I think I replaced my glow plug with a QuickFire F6 or F7 and that really did the trick...

http://dclxvi.no-ip.info/smb/gallery/cpg133/albums/DT-10_Photo/normal_DCLXVI_DT-10_Photos_075.JPG

[Aaron 285]

Thanks for the advice at the moment i have an os a3 plug in the truck, it seems to work well. Ive fixed the problem and have already rerouted the fuel line but that didn't solve the problem. Today i switched from 15% nitro to 10% and that seemed to fix it. But it is not running at the moment because the exhaust header wont stay on because the threads are ruined. Do you know any way to fix this?

Thanks
Aaron

[DCLXVI]

Put a nut on the other side of the header or get a new header...

Hmmm....OS #3, I'd go with OS #8 and something like 20% nitro...

[mynameis]

I`m new to the DT-10.Anyone still watching?
Andy UK

[DCLXVI]

Well, to and from...winter time here in Sweden so I'm not really running atm...

[mynameis]

Glad to know theres someone still `listening`.Speak to you soon.

[pistole]

hi.

how's it goin' ?

[DCLXVI]

Great, not on this forum that often anymore :(

Atleast not since winter...

My DT-10 is going like mad! And my OS engine still has very high compression :D
First time I ran it after winter, the truck rose on it's rear wheel going WOT from standing still at 50% top speed... :eek:

Oh, and I have an EK-4 now aswell :)

But most of my electrics and my Inferno MP7.5 works wonders...
