Quick how-to on programming the Spektrum 130A speed controller in your Tenacity Pro truck or buggy. Set it up for 3s, set the ESC to your preferences, and have some fun!

Thank you for posting this video. I just recently got this truck and I actually drove it for the first time today. And I like it a lot but, there were a couple settings that I wanted to change and did not have a clue, I guess I should have really looked at the manual again as you did. Thank you for going to the steps I'm going to do this And tweak my settings a bit for my driving style 👍

[@misterts7635]

Congrats on the purchase. Cant go wrong with a Losi!

I did the exact same thing got it out the box threw a spektrum g2 basher 2 cell battery and put the box and manual in the garage and was let down when I raced my slash ultimate because the slash beat it so hard out of the hole but had no clue about these settings lol I feel like a dummy

A little tip for the truck, I found & fixed a big headache with putting the body down. 180 the battary holder top so the hinge is facing the front....body goes right down, no binding.

[@misterts7635]

Excellent idea, thanks for sharing! The body catching right there is a constant annoyance, especially on my other buggy that I run taller 4s batteries in.

[@dustinj1919]

Much appreciated this helped a lot just picked up one of these from my local hobby shop used and just learning everything about it this helped tons.

Hello, there is a gap in the center diff on the Tenacity DB Pro, there is a gap in the front and back, but there should be no gap?

[@daemionsmith5554]

Definitely worked and can see the wheels hop up on dry pavement now lol, 2 runs in stripped spur gear 😂 running the 15t pinion with 3s

[@misterts7635]

Proof that it made a difference lol. I’m surprised you tore up a spur, I’ve been running on 4s and haven’t broken anything yet! Maybe your motor loosened up and threw off your gear mesh?

[@daemionsmith5554]

@@misterts7635 for sure lol it definitely did, Instant power now I’ve swapped the spur and ran 2 runs so far seems mint again so hopefully this ones last, and yeah I took a tumble and a half on dry pavement losing control at full speed motor definitely shifted that little bit to strip it, landed after the crash and no go 😂

Where can I get those a-arm guards

Where will the wheel tire set be?

Do the transmitter have to be on or off when u do this???

[@easty6615]

Thanks for the video...will try it out on mine! What mud guards have you fitted?

[@misterts7635]

DE Racing for a Ten SCTE. Good luck with yours!

[@daltonboucher8162]

Awsome video thanks for the lesson may I ask what your using for tires wheels and what you got for hex adapters

[@misterts7635]

Thanks! I’m using DE Racing adapters and buggy wheels from Amazon. I have a video about the conversion.

[@daltonboucher8162]

Thanks I'll be checking that out also do you have a problem with front having no chassis slap my dbpro will not and it keeps breaking or bending front pins

[@oscarsaavedra1562]

I recently ordered one of these and I don’t feel like spending much on just the battery. Do you know if the EC5 battery connection will fit on the Tenacity TT pro?

[@misterts7635]

Yes it will. Losi’s IC5 “smart” connector is just an EC5 with a data wire in the middle. It’s compatible with regular EC5.

[@oscarsaavedra1562]

[@danthegreat9790]

I have this truck got it for my dog to chase after one thing I dislike is the slow steering movements do you know how I can make the steering move around faster?

[@misterts7635]

Upgrade your steering servo. I like the Savox 1258TG, but there are many options out there. Some of the cheapies on Amazon have great reviews.

@@misterts7635 thanks for the fast response I kinda had a feeling I had to do an upgrade but wasn’t sure thanks for your help I really appreciate it

[@theclickbaitdetective9196]

Hey man, Just bought this last week as my first official rc car Did your tt pro have any cogging issues when you first got it?

[@misterts7635]

Congrats on the purchase! I haven’t had any cogging issues with my DB or TT. I actually feel like they perform very smoothly for a sensorless system. What are the brand and specs on your battery? Also, are you using the 17t pinion that came installed on the motor?

[@theclickbaitdetective9196]

@@misterts7635 I been running it on these Lectron pro 3s batteries and on day one started with the 17t pinion and the first thing i noticed before even driving it was the cogging noise, switched it to the 15t pinion gear and still the same. I did the ESC programming like you did the video and went up to level 9, it kinda helped a little bit but it’s still there, it’s driving me crazy. Also is cogging bad for the vehicle? Thanks for the help

[@misterts7635]

@@theclickbaitdetective9196 got any friends in the hobby who can let you try a battery? If it’s not the battery, I would reach out to Losi and see what they say. It definitely shouldn’t be cogging, especially after you geared it down. Shouldn’t hurt anything, but it also shouldn’t be doing it.

[@theclickbaitdetective9196]

@@misterts7635 ok, thanks for the help

[@taronhowell2523]

What torque number would be good for a track dirt

[@misterts7635]

It’s all preference, really. If it’s loose dirt you could try starting somewhere in the middle and working your way up. Or you could leave the punch turned all the way up and use the AVC feature to make the truck more controllable until you get better with throttle control.

[@taronhowell2523]

Thanks man one more question shock oil weight you recommend

[@misterts7635]

@@taronhowell2523 I don’t launch mine off huge jumps so I keep it pretty light. Usually 35-40wt. If you’re doing a lot of bashing and really sending your truck flying you’ll probably want something heavier, like 50wt or so.

[@misterts7635]

Dude, welcome to the hobby! I doubt your truck is defective, it’s more likely that your battery is unable to provide the burst of current. What brand, mah capacity, and c rating are you using? Also, how old is the battery?
