What's New: Losi TENACITY SCT RTR 4X4 Short Course Truck

[@mtman2699]

I have the brush-less Tenacity SCT and I love it.

[@kubeanie18]

i have the tenacity tt pro and i use all the bodys from this truck on it they fit great

[@RccarsUK]

Losi engineer - "which models do you want us to put these 550t motors & 60a ESC in ?" Losi manager - "yes"

[@jdmikeg4]

My brushed version just arrived today. Brushed gives you the option to choose your own brushless motor/esc.

[@RcD10vlDK]

Losi began to make buckets on wheels, which will break faster than the Chinese chassis

[@sikcrf250]

I Bought a Brushed one...5 stars for me.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

5 Stars and Congratulations! It's a great truck. If you need any help with it, let us know! Thanks. -Brett

[@willshealy3687]

I just bought one yesterday. I love it so far, wish to upgrade everything and make it look awesome

[@willshealy3687]

Update second chassis broken after

[@sm6451]

I have had my tenacity DB version for about 2 weeks.I luv the Fuze brushless! The chassis is a bit weak and I have snapped it. I'm going to put a bumper on it like the SCT has. I put the 12t pinion on it and ran it with the 11.1v 3s battery and it tears it up. I'm also getting a heatsink w/fan to see if the motor runs cooler with the 16t pinion and the 3s battery. Overall. decent truck but the chassis design lacks durability. Also, the steering servo needs tweaking and/or replacement.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

You broke the chassis!? Holy smokes. Other than that, I'm happy to hear you're enjoying the DB. Our Tenacity is the Brushed version so we didn't experience the 3S Brushless power, but I bet it's great! Thanks for sharing Stephen. Let us know if there is anything we can help you with. Thanks. -Brett

[@willshealy3687]

@@AMain_Hobbies the plastic chassis is not very strong especially right by the front bulk head

[@STEVOD313]

It looks like the War Hawk sct, I wish these tenacity rigs would stop using the bottom battery loading door, from what I have read n heard the dirt n debris gets in there like u mentioned n then makes it hard to open, I think id rather just take the shell off n load from the top, just my opinion

[@kurtschiffke6778]

You just push it down from the top and it's no problem to open

[@cwatson42785]

I thought the same at first stevo but after getting one with it its really not bad at all. Its actually kinda convenient. I thought I would hate it but it's really not bad at all. I wouldn't let it deter you from buying a truck with it.

[@innerfire-graham9016]

I glued mine closed before i got the pro kit.

[@garrykennedy5484]

Looks like it weakens the frame to have that access port there. I'm not a fan of that at all. Others posted that they've broken multiple frames in a short time. Love the truck, but that kinda scares me towards the ECX Torment 4X4, but that's back ordered for an unannounced period of time right now.

[@Revon-Feuer]

actually, it can run a 3s at 50+ MPH !!! and is waterproof

[@stellerate]

But I'm pretty sure that's the brushless version, they're pretty similar though!👍

[@solcoolman3307]

cool video, looks like a nice truck. Id really like a review of the Arrma Notorious too. I think it deserves a video!

[@stpbasss3773]

I have a tenacity MT that's destroyed I am thinking of getting one of these and throwing the brushless set up in it.

[@tellie_2788]

Good idea, I am doing the same with my “Stampede” that I built

[@joncon4746]

Yeah!

[@ionarrese2384]

What is the difference on brushlles and brush version? Only the engine and Esc??

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Yes, it is regarding the ESC and motor. Brushless and Brushed are two different technologies used with Brushless being the more efficient and maintenance free option, but also more expensive. -Brett

[@justinu580]

So what does losi sell that’s still for competition in regards to a 4x4 sct

[@jimborghini2761]

Can it be run with bigger wheels?

[@RiverTheNerd]

This explained everything I needed to know. Thank you. I do have one question though. How fast do you think this truck would go if it had a 3900kv brushless motor, 120a ESC, and a 5200mah 3s lipo in it? I'm open to answers from anyone.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

The Pro version of this truck includes a 130A Brushless ESC and 4-Pole 3150KV 550 Motor, and it is rated for +50MPH on a 3S LiPo. So, around 50MPH or above should be easily achievable, especially if the truck is geared for speed runs. -Brett

[@RiverTheNerd]

@@AMain_Hobbies Thank you.

[@RiverTheNerd]

Is it worth the money to get this truck and some upgrades? I was looking at this hobby and stuff, but it can be pretty expensive to get something that's actually good.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

@@RiverTheNerd Unfortunately this Brushed version of the Tenacity SCT has been discontinued, but otherwise I'd say yes, good approach. But it's a great idea to start with a brushed model and then upgrade it as your skills grow. The Brushed Traxxas Slash, Bandit and Rustler are great options, under $200. The Kyosho Fazer Mk2 cars are also great, inexpensive options. We put a 3S system in one and it was fast! You have options, good on your to do your research! -Brett

[@RiverTheNerd]

@@AMain_Hobbies Ok. I found this model, and it might be discontinued, but I found it in a site.

[@xxslayaxx8584]

When I grow up I will buy this truck to use at my local rc tenth scale track but for now my parents won't take me soo I will buy something else for now like the feiyue fy08.

[@AMain_Hobbies]

While you are young, use this opportunity to practice and build your r/c skills, so when you are older, you will be R/C master. -Brett

[@stpbasss3773]

People wondering about upgrades there are literally tons of upgrades for this rig, you can make this entire RC aluminum and titanium if you wanted.

[@zubuxstein]

if you wanted to be a dumbass to do such a thing

[@TheKing-nu4fk]

@@zubuxstein I'm new to this and bought this truck. Can you explain why it would be a dumbass move to put aluminum parts on it please?

[@SavageX125]

Makes it more heavy and everything breaks easier

[@travisdrury5556]

Certain upgrades are great just know where to put aluminum and where to leave plastic

[@jamanepitcher8522]

@@TheKing-nu4fk You can buy the losi performance upgrade kit it comes with everything you need in makes it almost bulletproof

[@sudsrc8261]

I just can't get down with that bottom loading tray they've done on this and their two wheel drive version where it's the same thing. That and what looks to me a really weird body style I guess this just isn't my jam.

[@stpbasss3773]

I've cut the top plastic part off the battery box and put Velcro straps on my tenacity MT, it's a pain in the butt but it's worth it.

[@sudsrc8261]

@@stpbasss3773 Ha now that's being resourceful. A good tip that seems to make sense.

[@BLACKBOX1004]

very nice👍👍

[@leon_brave_racing898]

Can I make a rally car out of it

[@stevenleblanc7976]

Do we absolutely need to downgrade the pignon to a 15 when we put a 3s .... i dont get it planning to race and speed run not really bash tt tenacity pro brushless

[@AMain_Hobbies]

You'll have to do some trial and error to determine the optimal gearing for you. Drive the truck around a few minutes and temp the motor and ESC. Normal heat or temperature will allow you to touch the motor can after use and hold it there for about 3 seconds. If the can is too hot, it will instantly be too hot to touch and hold, meaning you need to gear down. If you don't feel comfortable touching the hot parts, I understand, and this temp gun would be a good alternative: www.amainhobbies.com/protek-rc-trutemp-infrared-thermometer-ptk-8310/p-qtqqqaqq7zqxactz Motor and ESC temps should be kept under 170°F if possible. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies That's also discontinued

[@xxslayaxx8584]

I am watching this vid one year later from when this vid was posted and I wish the price would not have had gone up.

[@xxslayaxx8584]

I notice that the price went up because it is brushless but still why raise it by over 100 just because it is brushless I can make it brushless myself for 50

[@AMain_Hobbies]

Sadly, Losi has discontinued this brushed version of the truck. -Brett

[@xavierramirezz2231]

How heavy is it ?

[@AMain_Hobbies]

That's a great question. Unfortunately Losi doesn't state it's weight, but I'd imagine it's around 5-6 pounds, or 2.2-2.7 kg based from other similar SCT 4X4 trucks in this class. -Brett
