Team Associated MT-10 Rival Fully Upgraded in 2024

[@ParkflyersRC]

Make a note that this 3800 kv motor will be just fine on 3s as long as you dont over gear it. Good starting point would be a 9,10 or 12t pinion ( 32p itch). The Copperhead ESC will run much much cooler than a sidewinder 4 overall. This ESC is simplyt state of the art !!! THIS setup is aggresive and a motor fan will help in hotter weather.

[@chrisvda7277]

Fastrax do loads of Aluminium upgrades. I have hobbywing max10 combo on mine. 120a Esc 3660 3200kv with 15T pinion. Have motor fan and it flys on 3s with no overheating issues.

[@83Goldy]

Hi from NJ. I’m about to buy the Arrma Granite 3s because they are in special for $269. Are they any good? Would be my first Arrma rc car. I really appreciate your help. Thanks

[@ParkflyersRC]

@@83Goldy it’s a nice car. It has slipper clutch issues. Keep that in mind.

[@83Goldy]

@@ParkflyersRC Oh ok. Is there is an upgrade to fix that issue? Or do you recommend me a better car? Thanks

[@chrisvda7277]

@83Goldy Id choose MT10 over Granite. Granite 50mph stock. Vorteks 55mph with a better transmitter. MT10 V2 44mph stock but has better handerling, centre diff, sway bars and more adjustability and lights. Also a dust cover for electronics lol Wish Arrma would add centre diff to 3S range and more adjustability.

[@JahBlessd]

I'm loving this vehicle the more I see videos of it.. and this kit makes me wanna pull the trigger!

[@boiledtea479]

you should buy this. its 100% worth it. i love mine

[@DigitalConfusion1]

As an MT10 owner, excellent video. The one thing I would highly recommend is body protection on the front, top and rear area. In minutes, it starts to tear into the expensive shell body. I do not know of any aftermarket skid plates but I 3D printed some and installed immediately after the first run. May not look quite as good, but highly functional. Does anyone agree?

[@roobzruckers7626]

RPM makes some "skid rails" that are pretty good.

[@airtec87]

the included led lights is a nice touch, especially since they are really bright.

[@allthingsradd]

This is one of the most entertaining and informative videos I've seen on the MT-10. Thank you for doing such a descriptive awesome video, I just ordered an MT-10 today! I am now subscribed and can't wait to watch more of your videos keep up the good work!!

[@shuster1921]

Another thing that really will make driving these better is to balance your wheels/tires!! I've do it on every car/truck I race, and it is no different on bashers!

[@nickhathaway4617]

Custom RC Upgrades' do a 7075 Motor mount plate which is an awesome upgrade.

[@JapanRCAdventuresS]

Fastrax, M2C and Custom RC Upgrades make critical upgrades such as T7075 or Carbon Fiber motor mounts to name a few. I am building an MT10 and used your motor and ESC combination but with a 5mm shaft as the smaller shaft is not adequate with the increase in KV.

Great build, other than that wire routing and probably the worst transmitter on the planet it’s a good build.

[@owen8538]

Hi what shock upgrade you recommend for rb10 on rear do you think mt10 rear ones be good

[@RCRoads]

Great job covering the MT-10. I agree with setting up gear mesh and the "roll test". I really don't know that much about mesh but with larger teeth / pitch some manufactures actually say to use 2 sheets of note paper to set mesh. I guess the more you do it the better you get.

Great video and thanks for giving me something to look forward to once my build is complete. Subscribed and liked. Damn nice build.

[@t3floz]

Awesome man! When you say that the car handles better than arrma and traxxas in the air. I guess thats with the upgraded esc and motor and not stock? Do you think this handles better than a granite? Do you have any alternative ti the esc and motor? Cant get it here :/

[@losi5ivet29cc]

Would the Copperhead 10 MT edition with the 2400kv 1415 motor be a good fit for the MT10V2? Thanks I'm no stranger to Castle products I just haven't used any of their 1/10th scale products and there's many options to choose from and I would like to get an MT10V2.

[@michaeldorich4485]

I am late to the party on this video. I enjoyed your explanation of the everything you did and the reasons. The additional advice is excellent. Your probably aware of this. But, I thought I would mention it. When I wanted to replace my servo horn with a metal one I sent an email to Team Associated. I received a response from Donald Natale. His choice was the metal servo horn from the DR10m, 72058. It's perfectly shaped and bent exactly right. I have a question. I am attempting to run my MT10 V.1 in local parking lot series. I wanted to try some different springs. Associated doesn't offer any. One KZbinr recommended the springs from the old SC10 4WD or Losi Ten SCTE springs. What are your thoughts? Thank you for a great video.

[@RiskyZeva]

just got a new MT10 and ive been struggling with bent driveshafts and axles.. Even after installing the upgraded metal shafts and axles. Have you had this issue? i am jumping this thing about 4-6ft onto grass completely stock.. i am stumped

[@rgard6]

Awesome video

[@ali3ns14a]

It turned out to be a nice MT10. I built a Pro4 SC with a Hobbywing max and the 4000kv motor. I think the engine is relatively loose. Is there a trick how to fix the motor mount? This is just hacked in at the bottom. Is there something between the screw and the motor mount? Thanks

[@911FlightRisk]

Crcu motor mount

[@i_am_cris1]

No link for the servo arm, can you post the link? Thanks

[@TheGuyFromWI]

This is the best MT-10 upgrade video, thank you for sharing the suspensions settings! Any suggestions on the servo saver? Do you glue the stock servo saver?

[@johnsorensen5758]

I bought 3 of theses when they were sold by helion $150 each the only weekness is the axles they break at the wheel the team associated pro 4 sct has the same axles they break too helion sold those too besides that they are awesome vehicle's you are right best value for 1/10 rtr

[@cds1223]

Yup. I got the 10mt from hobbytown $199! Still love it although its all TA parts now. The Helion plastic was better. They made a steel spur too. Tbone used to make a bumper. We need a rpm skid plate. And ur right about the axles. Best fix ive found is lighter tires. U can work some traxxas hd shafts to work. Heard u can use 4s arrmas with mods but yup heavy tires like this pop them quick. All prolines are too heavy for it.

[@911FlightRisk]

Traxxas hoss front extreme heavy duty drive shafts.

[@andrewmuhlke1280]

Do you have the version 1 for sale ?

[@michaelwortel]

Awesome build! Have you run into problems with the wheel nuts coming loose? It even does it with some aftermarket ones with the nylon insert.

[@richardspicer8253]

Have you done any upgrading on a maverick quantum rx flux 4s?

[@kennithfuller1533]

How does that motor perform compared to the 1412 3200kv?

[@ParkflyersRC]

My opinion 1412 has too much power for the drivetrain. Wrong choice for this car IMHO.

[@kennithfuller1533]

I figured so. I have the 1412 3200kv in my arrma vorteks. I've decided to get a mt10 roller because i happen to have the copperhead esc and 1410 3800kv motor sitting on the shelf

[@nyjon8949]

How was the torque and speed with this set up I have the white edition copperhead 10 on back order was going to get the 3200kv motor but now I may switch

[@ParkflyersRC]

If you want torque get the 3200. But keep in mind it’s a low friction drivetrain and the chasis does NOT need more torque. With 3800 you will have just the right amount of power. Keep the pinion btw 10-12. Get a motor fan and enjoy.

[@Jussomerando677]

Thank you for this video. I’m new to the hobby. I picked up a brushed MT 10 prior to finding out who my LHS was. I want to tinker with it myself but you gave me a good basis to strive for and I’ve been ordering from you since. Are the shocks the team associated shocks? And I’ve been seeing ppl in my FB group put that level of internals in their MT 10s but swapping the chassis to the Pro SC 10. What are your thoughts on that?

[@ParkflyersRC]

Yes. Shocks are team associated

[@TheflyingkiwiRC]

IMO the upgraded shocks look great but are no better than the stock plastic ones. I've broken both plastic and metal ones. Not worth the price of the upgrade.

[@JohnSmith-ef8nr]

The stock radio is junk, thats the first thing to go, also you should upgrade the motor mount plate as thay can bend. I just brought a new V1 mt10, im going to upgrade it before I use it.

Doesn’t stunt flip as good as MT but Handles great and flies really stable. Only prob with these rigs is the axle stubs bend and break easily especially if u try running a heavier tire. My fav truck. If u have an MT i strongly suggest u try the LWB conversion. Cheap mod. Its a blast.

With those huge tires off course it handles in the air come on wheel base is too short for me i dont like cars that pull wheelies half throttle

[@modzilla74]

Of u wanna claim its fully upgraded , then theres a few things missed. 1 , the plastic spur gear. When i bought my mt10 there was no upgrade.( That may have changed) I was able to get a tekno hardened steel spur gear and get it to fit. . Never had a problem after that with the spur. Also..... The axles,.. i didn't find any worthy upgrades meant for the mt10. ...but , with some research i was able to get the heavy duty MIP axles from a 4x4 slash to work. I think those mods would make the upgraded truck more of a complete build ! Ty

[@ParkflyersRC]

Plastic gear is better since you need a failure point in drivetrain. Motor bearings will last longer as well. facts..... MIP are made of a heavy heavy steal and increase rotating mass by more than double and also corrode over time and they evenetually bind. No GOOD

[@modzilla74]

Then why do all decent eighth scales come with all metal drivetrains? What's their point of failure. Plain and simple the plastics gears suck and I got sick of buying them
