Sounds good. If plans hold, I will see you down there. Viper is one of the Series sponsors - I went to RCE in MA, going to Trackside next weekend for round 2.

Being an on-road guys as well, you would like the smoothness of our system, but you still have all the power you need!!! Think about it.

What's the status of 17.5 1-cell Viper motor??? Would like to try 1 on Mike's Hobbyshop's Carpet track. Bring one to Dallas for the Short Course Showdown

Idk whats going on, but the 10r that was in my ae4x4 just stopped working on me now. I was running it up and down my street and then all the sudden turned off. So I was like maybe the motor or esc is hot and held my hand on it for about 3sec each. So i knew that wasnt the problem and then put a new battery in and still wont turn back on.

So i knew that wasnt the problem and then i dropped my truck little lower then my waist level and then hit the gas on the remote and all the sudden worked again for a split second and then wouldnt work again. So should i go to the hobby shop tomorrow and get it all resoldered and see if thats the problem? Is it because i run bullets instead of the straight wire from motor to esc?

do the lights still work on the speedo?

what lights are flasing or glowing?

it could be a number of things but i would check for a cold solder joint first.

well I just checked all the bullets and all the sudden one of the female bullets came right off, so im gonna go to the hobby shop and get it resoldered and see if that was the problem.

But when it was actually working, the green was glowing and when i hit the gas it would go red and flash.

led's sound like normal operation.

i would have all the joints rechecked with a nice hot iron. and make sure its someone else using the iron. i hardly trust anyone soldering my gear unless its my sponsor rcrd LOL
