so i say ditch that and only use accel timing..
i dont use much top end timing in offroad anyways most the straights that i run are about the time you hit wot you have to hit the breaks and top end timing just starts to kick in so no need to use it.

Question for Viper RC
In the bigger ESC industry ( Ebikes, Esooters, ECars) we use Regenerative braking... Why dont you guys stand out of the pack and offer such thing?
it would be awesome regen braking for burst accelaration out of corners (4wd) would be crazy!
Looking fo ryour feedback

This is a feature that was offered many years ago in the high end brushed esc days, but not a feature that rc companies have focused on significantly for brushless systems. The effect was rather negligible with the brushed systems, I imagine it would be rather negligible on brushless systems too. Especially with the improvement in battery technology where the packs maintain a much higher and more consistent discharge curve throughout the run. We get a more significant punch increase out of the corners with what the caps can supply than what we ever achieved with regenerative breaking.
But that's not to say it's a concept to be ignored now, either. Perhaps it would be more effective on the brushless systems, and I imagine the larger the vehicle the more effective it would be, such as 1/8e cars.

I received my 10R ESC yesterday
Is it possible to find out the max. temperature of the ESC and motor reached during the race ?
It would be nice if you offer to chose between celsius and fahrenheit in the next software release ...

Ok i have searched this forum and didn't find anything on a setup for 1/12 pan car. I am going to my LHS and trying there loaner 13.5 motor this weekend. Can someone help me with a good starting setup for 13.5 boosted 1/12 pan car?
The track is 100' x 46' The infield is semi tight. I am running a CRC Gen-XL with stock spur. Oh and i am buying a VTX10 esc while i am there.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chad J.

15% on accel boost
20% on max advance.

Hey guys first off let me say hello to all in here. Just jumped in the Viper bus and need a little help. I plugged in my HS-625MG servo to the servo tester option, (played with some setting as we all do)and now it does not work. When i plug it back into the car the speed control beeps and all the lights flash, I know this cannot be right. so any of you guys in here know where I can go to learn how to fix this? I have tried to find the manual to down it but so far no luck on that either.
Thanks in advance, Bill.
