After 8 weekends out on the track and half a dozen races I had my first breakage. Totally my fault, I was testing a new line, Jumping a triple and table top (four jumps total, about 25-30 feet) section and the table top had a 90 degree exit, so you had to land it semi turned mid air to down side the table top. I pulled it off the first few attempts then I missed my line and flat landed on the table top on left rear wheel and popped the arm off. The weird thing (well I guess good thing) was nothing broke; the hinge pin pulled one of the inserts out of the suspension holder. The holders, arm and hinge pin were fine. One insert was lost and the other showed some trauma from the bad landing (hole was stretched a little). I replaced the inserts and finished 2 heats and the Main with no issues. One tough truck, for sure. Another racer was trying the same line and he snapped his a-arm (Durango).

Great article on the SCT in the new issue of http://vrcmag.com $9.99/year or $1.99/issue
Basically agrees that you'll either be racing one of these or chasing one pretty soon.

The VTX8 just won't work with the Pro4 motors. My buddy (a Team Viper driver) and I screwed around for hours trying to get them to work. I tried the Revtech 4800, and he tried the 4600 and 4000. No good. His would stutter and reset. Mine would stutter like a bad sensor wire. We installed the firmware updates, but no dice. Lowering the limiter, and screwing with the LVC helped out, but slowed the trucks down too much to race. The Viper tech guys said it is due to the Pro 4 motors being very inefficient . They suggested using a 550 2 pole motor. We didn't consider that, because we are trying to keep the trucks lightweight.
We use Futaba radio gear. He used a Savox, I used a JR servo. Viper needs to get this sorted out, and they will have a fantastic speedo , until then, I suggest shopping elsewhere.
Now all you need to do is by an EB48 and use the Viper in that

I am looking into the eb48 for sure, i think im gonna put the vtx8 in my rc8.2e, and pick up an rx8 for the sct410, the eb48 is in the cards for next season once i get my power setups right.

I asked him about custom work. He said he could only do it if it is your artwork. Won't hurt to try though.
