Hey guys, for those of you running the vtx8, where did you mount the vport/on off switch?

I installed the air guard thingies and mounted it to that. I wasn't going to run them but it was pretty hard to find a great spot for the switch. Very easy to get to with the body on and easy to plug into with the Progauge.

I finally got around to putting my rear arm mud guards on today. Instead of using my dremel to trim them, I used my lexan scissors. The scissors zipped right through the plastic and made a nice clean line.

@GrimmReaper That Viper does look pretty intimidating especially when paired with a 540 can.. I'm not gonna lie I saw one (Viper ESC) in person at the Summer Scorcher and it made my RX8 Gen2 look like a toy.. Have you had both, and how do they stack up in your Tekno?
On a side note.. I know this is going to be one of those wow really questions.. But does someone have a Short Course Driving for Dummies book? Mainly I'm trying to get a grasp on the major tuning options for general driving i.e. droop (what it does), Camber, Ride height etc.. Yes I've set my droop and camber and ride height according to another drivers set up, but if you don't truly understand the why.. then I think your missing out on it's level of importance.. Soo.. Anybody wanna do a write up on the science behind it all?

I recently just got rid of my gen1 RX8 to purchase yet another Viper VTX8. I wouldn't go back to the tekin if it was given to me. I'm not kidding, I was skeptical of Viper when I first saw them. A buddy of mine got me to try theVTX10, and I loved it. I now have 2 VTX10's, 1 VTX10R, and 2 VTX8's. Once you try it, you won't go back to the tekin. There are a handful of guys using them at my track, and I've yet to hear of a complaint.
