Just received my Viper esc's this week, and will be racing OPEN 4wd SCT with the VTX10R tomorrow.. I will have a race review/report, right now it is on SPEC OFFROAD/NO TIMING profile #1... Until the VIPER SC motors come out, I am running a Team Epic D3 Monster 4.5, because my 540 6.5 VST will not handle this huge track, would rather use it for MOD TC...

My Viper/TrueRc powered caster e-buggy is dailed with Panther clay switch 2.0 tires.

I also ran open SC. Viper esc/motor. I didn't do to well in the qualifiers. I qualififed 3rd but in the main i drove consestent and it paid off.

Hahaha, LOVE IT. After running this sensored system in my buggy and still having the castle in my truggy i had to sell all my castle stuff. Much smoother. I can't wait for viper to get there 1/8th esc done.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I know bud, you and I have already talked at length. I just wanted to see if it was an isolated incident or widepsread. Talked to Weylin and he knows it on its way back, no issues with service so far!!

I have a similar problem, i didnt shut it off though. It was on and was trying to set it and then all the sudden turned off on me and wont come back on, but the one in my ae 4x4 works great.

Yeah mine did the same exact thing with 2 esc's. I can't even get it to run past 5 feet before it fails. I have my third one now but it's still in the box. Just not in the mood to give it a third try right now since my new LRP is working awesome. I'm hoping luck will be on my side the next time I hook everything up.

As for customer support, Weylin's been awesome and very supportive so I have to give it another shot just for that reason alone.
By the way Weylin, any plans to release a 4 pole version of the 550 or 540 for 4x4 SC's? I think these motors are perfect for this application. The ones I see run at the track are torque monsters and when geared right, run very efficiently with good top end. I just hate that they're not sensored or come with a higher kv option.
