2. Click “File…” button on left side of Viper PC-Link Console and select the firmware upgrade file you wish to update to.
3. Connect PC-Link Cable to USB port.
4. Click the dropdown menu in the upper right corner of the Viper PC-Link Console and select the appropriate USB/COM port.
5. Connect proper/charged battery to ESC and power on ESC (Radio can be on or off).
6. Push V-Port on/off button once to enter programming mode. F and N status LEDs will activate to indicate programming mode.
7. Connect PC-Link Cable to V-Port jack. ESC current firmware version will now be indicated at the top of the Viper PC-Link Console.
8. Click “Download” button on left side of Viper PC-Link Console.
9. Wait for status indicator window at bottom of Console to say “completed”, green download bar will be solid, and new firmware version will be indicated at the top of the Viper PC-Link Console.
10. Disconnect PC-Link Cable from V-Port, all LEDs will cycle.
11. Turn off ESC.
12. Redo ESC radio calibration process after updating firmware (see ESC instruction manual).
13. Firmware update complete!

Hope this helps.

Yep, it's porpuse is to give the amount of slop needed in the rotor inside the can. without her it's impossible to run it.

Hmmm
Is it crucial ? I powered everything up and the motor ran fine :/ if it's completely necessary , is there a replacement I can find or use in Australia?

jorgesimes

sorry to contradict you but could not run fine or we are not talking about the same spring.

Jorge, I got it now. I keep forgetting that the .rar file is actually the pc link! I had an old email that you sent me with the included file and now I got it squared away.

thanks

No no its fine
I'm talking about the spring that is on the rotor (pinion side) underneath the front end bell?
So basically
I'm going to need a new motor ?

Oh and is it possible to order another spring ?

jorgesimes

Probably just a new rotor, but i will email to see if there's spring units because i don't have access to database.

We dont have the springs available seperately but you can always use shims to space the rotor.

What shims would I need and how many to space the rotor correctly?
Does the rotor have to stay completely still in forward /backward movement while rotating ?"

Here is a quick vid on what can be changed with the proguage.

3mm should be the right amount of spacing. The rotor should move about 1mm in either direction. You do not want to bind the rotor in the can or it will produce unnecessary friction. Let me know if that helps.
