I just placed my order for the VTX10 and eagerly await its arrival. As far as I know I will be the only one running a Viper ESC so looking forward to represent here in GA. I currently run 17.5 and 13.5 and I'm looking for setups for the 17.5 class. I race on a large outdoor track and my car is a XRAY T3 2011 and the motor I run is the D3. Any setup help I can get would be great.
For perspective here is a video of me practice running at the track I'm the gray car

Hopefully some of our 17.5 boosted racers can get on here and help out. I'll send an email out right now for gearing recommendations with that motor on the VTX esc.
Our boost function creates a massive amount of rpm and really allows the motor to wind out. There are so many variables with tuning a boosted setup, but in general I think you'll find yourself gearing about 0.5-0.75 FDR LOWER than where you were running with your previous esc (Tekin I assume). So if you were running around a 5.7 before, I'd probably start around a 6.4-6.5.

There is a default "spec boosted onroad" profile that will be a good starting point setting wise.

-----------------JBRL Update: Andrew Smolnik's Race Report----------------
• Andrew Smolnik TQ and Wins Superstock with Viper Power!!!
JBRL Rnd 2 @ OCRC April 2nd 2011
The JBRL Electric Series round 2 was located at OCRC located in sunny southern California and had an amazing turnout of 275 entries.
Because I’ve been away from electric racing for some time now, I see many new faces at the track which is exciting for me. I always enjoy meeting new people as it is. I also have had the opportunity to reunite with some old friends from years ago, which is also very fun for me.
With that said, I’d like to thank my sponsors for the great support. TQ Racing Vehicles, Viper RC Solutions, Protek RC, Airtronics, VP PRO USA, Agama USA , Byrons Fuel
Results:
TQ and 1st place in Super Stock
3rd place in 4wd Modified Buggy
