Well a fellow racer I race with got a VTX10/17.5T combo and like it but said he didn't see the wow in it........Well I went over and punched in a set-up for him out of my little black book and then he goes out there and beat me for 2nd/ A hard earned 2nd at that....But to make a long story short..I am going to have to come up with a different set-up for people I race with.....lol...Not really...But he was grining from ear to ear and definetly saw the wow factor..Now I am trying to figure out if he was grining from the way it ran or from spanking my butt....LoL.....Thanks Viper RC for making people sane!!!!!!!

Perhaps (maybe) the 10r needs larger caps or larger single. Don't go changing just yet until you hear from a Viper rep.

that sucks.. never seen that happen.. i know those little rods off of them are pretty small and if you bend em they break easy, not as forgiving as the tekin ones.

in? what chassis

what batteries

Need to get at least a degital servo. staying cheap the 5645 is great but the savox 1257 for 69 bucks is hard to beat!

Not sure about the radiopost radio. how many volts can there rx take?

what are your spedo settings at?

Why would having a analog servo affect a speed control? A speed control should be able to perform with any servo.

Damn Hunter, that sucks Been loving my VTX10. Haven't run my 10R yet (still need to get a motor for it to go in my 10TT). Maybe they can just ship you a cap board so you can replace that yourself and not be down for as long?
