you may find this link useful:

converting a losi ten t to electric

in it there is a listing for the parts to do this with Losi parts only.

Welcome back. We have RC racing in the Fargo / Moorhead area indoors (mini vehicles) and outdoors (1/10 sized electric).

follow the link that i sent you can see what you need to buy.

Or, you can also go to Brushless conversion kit Losi Ten T/810

there, use the contact us link and see if they will still make this.

I've seen people with Tekin T8 in SCTE so you could fit one of those in and run it on 4S. Tekin T8i is another option.

I've got a castle 2400KV 1415 in mine and I run it on 3S or 4S.

4S kind of accelerates wear on the driveline, but its fun while it lasts.

a T8i would be a good motor. more power than a regular 550 and runs a bit cooler.

for the money I like the hobbywing xr8 sct pro esc. should be plenty for that vehicle.

As for the conversion kit, email RCMonster and ask them if you can still get these made if that is what you want.

To convert to electric is there a certain pinion gear needed or not?
