is there a spot on the vtx1 for a fan? like can i use the vtx10 fan on it? I have a vtx1 ordered but I can find a picture if i can hook up a fan as well. I want to use it in a 2 hr endurance race ..... might not hurt.

Hey sangyi41, i would say something like:

Acc Boost
St. RPM: 6000 - 7000
F. RPM: 15K - 17K
Max. Timing: 40 - 50

Top End
Slew rate: 20º
Max. timing: 26º
Delay: .4

All this assuming you have the standard timing on endbell and 4k on Th. Frequency.

Hope this helps.

Just wanted to post up about the Viper 25.5 motor I am using in my club vta class. It's awesome! Lots of torque and even with stock timing it screams down the front straight. Any word on getting the motor ROAR certified?

Looking forward to moving some of my other motors and esc's to Viper in the future!

If the viper 25.5 would get added to the list of VTA motors that would be awsome!!! I would be able to get back into VTA again.. as it sits our track only allows Novak Motor and Speed controls... so it has kinda closed the door to some of us that really enjoyed that class..

I will definitely look into getting it approved. We never had this come up in VTA. I will look into it this week and let you know what steps we will take. Thanks for the heads up

can someone please explain in detail how the boost works with A30?
i know it is based on trigger position, but if you hit full throttle ANYWHERE on the track, will the speedy automatically apply top speed timing even if the motor hasn't reached the finish rpm or spooled up fully?
Say if I've gone around the apex of the corner and on the exit, i accidentally dab the throttle all the way, will it do what i said above?

And on the A30 manual it says that you should not exceed 60 degrees acc. timing and top speed timing. So can you go up to 60 regardless of end bell timing? and i've been given a setup that goes well beyond 60 degrees for acc and top speed timing together, can this be done or is it over timing the motor?

thanks.

The trigger rpm is actually influenced both by the trigger position and the rpm of the motor. This gives it the smoothness and accuracy to perform any advanced timing or boost. Thats the beauty of sensored brushlesss motors.

As for the total timing, you must not exceed 60 on the esc but you can go beyond 60 with the physical endbell (not recommended and produce heat)

To be safe you should stay within 60 degrees total. Not many situations demand any higher than that.

Hope that helps

I'm intrigued by the VTX10's motor over temperature protection feature. I'm running a motor with an onboard temperature sensor (i.e. Novak Ballistic). How can one tell when the ESC's motor temperature protection activates? In other words, if the ESC detects a motor-over-temp, what happens?

OK and thank you. Portugal? Nice! Spent some days in Porto a number of years ago. Splendid city.

Interested in maybe a VTX1 for a 21.5 blinker 1/12th scale class we have. The last few pages of thread has had mixed sort of results. How are these currently running 1s? Receiver packs? I would like to run without. Also, if I buy the esc with prg box, can I update software, or do I need another cable to connect to PC?
