This is the Tekno RC V3 Brushless Conversion Kit, intended for use with the Losi 8ight-T 2.0 1/8 Scale Truggy. This kit includes a 42mm motor mount, making it suitable for use with electric motors from Tekin, Neu, Castle, and Hacker.
Not just another 'conversion', the Tekno RC V3 Brushless Kit is a total electric transformation! Featuring the first commercially available 1/8th scale electric specific chassis along with Tekno RC's innovative patent pending Elektri-Clutch system. This is the kit everyone has been waiting for!
Tekno RC's Patent Pending Elektri-Clutch system allows multiple options, to tune the power delivery of the hottest
brushless motors and Tekno's hardened steel clutchbells will last and last
because the motor is disengaged from the drivetrain off power. For
those that prefer direct drive, the Tekno kits are compatible with long shank
5mm bore mod1 pinions as well. More options and flexibility than any
other kit on the market.
Features:
- Factory Finish - hard anodized chassis, black anodized and injection molded components

- Patent pending 1-piece motor mount/heatsink fully supports your motor and provides superior cooling under the most rigorous conditions. Need more cooling? Slap a 40mm fan on the integrated fan mount
- Mechanical brakes with front/rear brake bias provides world class handling while lowering operating temps and easing the stress on your motor, ESC, and drivetrain
- Optimized left-to-right and front-to-rear weight balance - battery is as close to center as possible for the best handling of any electric 1/8th scale on the market
- Included radio tray keeps the wires neat and features an integrated transponder mount
- Low CG battery tray (165x52mm) is countersunk into the chassis -1.5mm and keeps the battery protected while allowing the most height clearance of any setup on the market

Tekno RC V3 Brushless Kit for Losi 8T 2.0 (42mm Castle/Tekin Motors)
One thing i noticed i thought people should know, make sure you get a extra long sensor wire for your motor if your speed control uses one. I bought the Tekin RX8 and the 200mm sensor wire it came with is to short for this conversion.
Losi sells a 280mm sensor wire,its part number is LOSB9313 and Amain has it in stock. -//- Just ordered an 8ight T 2.0 and this brushless kit for it, i will post some photos of it on the forum when it is complete. -//- Without question the best brushless conversion on the market. The clutch will save your motor from abuse the drive train would give and having the normal brakes from the gas car lets you fine tune the front and rear brake bias to your liking.
I have been using the 8T and 8 buggy Tekno RC conversions for almost a year now and i have zero complaints other then i wish the receiver was enclosed in a protective box but it has not proven to be an issue so far. Everything fits perfect and you can even switch back and forth between brushless and Nitro in less then an hours work.
Buy this and you will not regret it in the least.
