Here are the results of my Nitro Buggy A main. There was only 3 e-buggy's today so we had to run with the nitro's. You can see what position i was in when we pulled off at the 14 minute mark. The number in front of the lap times tells you what position your in. I got 1st place today. The viper 2050kv motor with the new test
14.5mm rotor ran GREAT.

My esc did the same thing it just shut of and won't turn back on and if it did turn on when u give it gas it just shuts down . I was using a viper 17.5 and it never got warm so I sent it in last week so we will see what they say?????? I had only used it maybe 5 times before this happened...

Raced at West Coast RC Raceway yesterday and dialed this setup in my sc10 4x4 w 10r and tekin 4.5 and these settings were MONEY! Dialed in a little more motor punch and some more drag break but it made the truck drive much smoother and was able to get my temps in range w/ the 14 tooth pinion. Thanks Rage for the info

I received a email from amain today telling me the Viper 4.5 550 can motors are in stock. I'm curious to know is there any difference in these motors compared to the others on the market? I'm a somewhat electric newb coming to electric from nitro, I've got a 4.5 novak still new in the package that's going in my scte once I get the final hop up parts so I was just curious if there's any major design or performance differences. Thanks

6-26-11 Here are the results of my Buggy A main. I was running a caster 1.5r pro, viper motor, tekin esc, truerc battery and panther tires. There was only 3 e-buggy's today so we had to run with the nitro's. You can see what position i was in when we pulled off at the 14 minute mark. The number in front of the lap times tells you what position your in. I got 1st place today.
