Team Losi SPEED-T

Posted January 22nd, 2008 by Sean Manibog

Team Losi is well known for making popular 1/10th scale vehicles. Some of those vehicles are the XXX-NT, XXX-T, and now, the all new, Team Losi 1/10th scale Speed-T. The Speed -T is equipped with a brushless system right out of the box, and is sure to become a big hit. The also fairly new Losi XCelorin brushless system included with the kit includes the high-speed 4800KV Motor, and a programmable ESC that includes a Quick Programming Card with selectable ESC settings that are preprogrammed for your convenience. Some other great features included with the Speed-T are things like a high-torque digital steering servo, a wheelie bar to handle the tire shredding torque, EC3 Low Resistant battery power connectors, and a low chassis design to ensure the best handling.

Losi is very excited about the release of this new vehicle, and know it will please anyone who purchases it. Here is what Losi says about their Speed-T:

"Bring the heat up and down your street with Losi's fastest electric RTR ever, the Speed-T. Based on a proven, durable chassis designed for brushless systems and an ultimately agile suspension setup, the Speed-T has the foundation to handle serious acceleration unlike any other RC truck. The Speed-T is the only choice for serious drivers in need of serious speed."

Losi also did a great job on making the Speed-T look great coming out of the box. With features like Road Weapon tires mounted on oversized SpokeZ chrome wheels, and a multi-colored factory painted body, the vehicle really looks great. Here are some photos of the Speed-T.

The Speed-T looks promising. With claimed speeds of 65mph+ and features like the stock 2.4GHz DSM radio, the Speed-T should do great!

Will you be able to swap brushless motors is the question? In The Losi xxx-t the motor that comes with it is the motor you get period, all others void the warranty. I'm not saying that 65+ isn't fastest enough, but theirs always that what if.

Does the losi speed t come with a rear diff or a spool? If the speed t come with a spool can I use it in my xxxt sport brushless rtr truck? Can I use a speed t wheelie bar on the xxxt sport brushless rtr truck?

It has a spool (a locked

It has a spool (a locked version of the normal diff without the diff-balls). You can add balls to it and it will be a full diff (thrust bearing is already there). I am 98.167% sure that is will go into the xxxt sport without issue (but am not 100%) Hope that at least partially helps.

ea3 plastic composite as opposed to graphite composite of the xxx-t. falsely advertised as the xxx-t chassis, not so! those who are expecting a stadium truck, this one isn't even designed to run in grass. bought it then broke it in 10min. horizon hobby says if you want reliabilty replace speed parts with xxx-t. didn't enjoy!
