I dont know how many times I have stated... run a bigger pinion than you normally would. Start 1-2 teeth higher. These motors are torque based. So if you want to get anything out of them, you have to gear up.

Oh I did, and now I have a unique aroma that comes from my motor lol, motor still ran rather well though.

Yes, that is common... all of my motors did that when the first ran. They are just breaking in.

Atleast that is my best guess. Mine are all still running great!

Well that's good to know, I thought I had melted it

Nope, you are good to go.

140-160* temps are good for this motor. Keep on truckin!

if i run a 4wd buggy which one those vtx10 esc or vtx10r esc ?where you order from viper esc ?

Vtx10r. /premiere hobbies.com has them.

Lendl... im disappointed in you...lol

Premierehobbies.com has them in stock too... might as well buy from a Team guy!


If you are running a 4wd with a decent sized mod, go 10R.

If you are going to run a 13.5 class, the 10 will work just fine.

Hope I can explain this right.

Im running 2wd 17.5 buggy outdoors.

I need the "SPEED and oomph" but MAN does the timing hit hard. I have adjusted the RPM range but it just hits soo hard it breaks the back end loose.

Any idea on what to adjust to get a nice smooth power output?

Also on the "speed" setting with the degree/1000 rpm what exactly does that affect?

Thanks

You need to lower the slew rate i believe.

All righty...here's a quick one for you team guys. So I talked one of my buddies into a 10R right after I purchased mine and he brought all his gear over today so we could set up his sc10 4x4.

I got everything soldered up and am ready to calibrate to his dx3r pro. I went ahead and bound his radio to his receiver first but when I tried to turn his esc off it wouldn't shut down. I unplug the battery and reconnect then hold down the power button for 3 seconds like the manual shows but nothing happens. The only light that comes on is the P light and none of the other LEDs would come on. When you try to shut down the esc, again nothing happens, the P light stays on.

Now when I set mine up to my m11x last week it went into calibration mode no problem.

I looked thru this thread as I recalled seeing someone about 12 pages back that had a similar issue but there wasn't really an answer on how this was fixed.

The smell you are smelling is an exopy the motors were dipped in and as time goes on it will lessen....I have been running my motors hard since Jan. and on the warmer side and I haven't even had to open the box up on my back-up motor yet....The smell seems to be stronger the warmer it gets but I thought the same the first time I smelt it and mine just keep get in it and get in it......:nod::nod:

Sometimes getting into calibration mode can be tricky at first. The manual says hold the power button for 3 secs, you should hear the beep. It took me a few tries to get mine when I first got them. You'll get the hang of it.

Did some troubleshooting on it this morning after a little sleep. I thought it could be the receiver because I noticed his transponder blinky wasn't going off last night when I was pressing the power button which would mean the receiver isn't getting power. I unplugged the servo, esc, and transponder from his spektrum receiver and plugged into a spare airtronics one I have. The esc would then go into calibration mode with my m11x. So now I was thinking he might have a bad spektrum receiver and I plugged everything back into it to double check and the receiver works fine and it would go into calibration mode on the first try.

Don´t you ship this item to germany ?
