I think you guys are having a serious miscommunication... The person Rage was talking about was Smokinu, not Minidub (Weylin). Minidub, SC_Rage and SRV are the only members who post legitimate info about upcoming products. :nod:

I'm sorry to hear that. Viper is really good stuff. I have had mine for about 5 months and it's been great. Yes it's a proto type. take care.

Things just got way outta hand really quick :weird:

Yes... yes they did.

OK, everyone.....Let's take a deep breath:o :)

1S ESC ON THE WAY

Does the VTX10R come with the stuff to upgrade the firmware in the esc?

Is this what the card programer thing does or will I need some other usb link type thing?

the progauge only changes esc settings like boost/timing adv on the esc as well as other settings its not able to update firmware on the esc its self.

we have a usb interface that dose that, as far as i know viper is still working on the software.

You will need to purchase the PC-Link (VIP6VSPCLINK1 ) which is separate

Premierehobbies and AMain both carry them, but appears they are backordered

i posted the right info about the vtx1. im in the dark when in comes to a new software allowing the 1/10/10r to be used sensorless sorry.. have not read anything like that from anyone on the forum or an email.

This post bests displays your arrogance.

I'm flaming your thread? Wow. I came to you with a question and a legitamate intetest in your products. I got flamed buddy. You don't see this do you?

Trying to help ?? Srv gave an informative and helpful response.

You responded first by treating me like I was in grade school and then with advice that I shouldn' put much stock in "random announcementss" made by "random persons" when in actuality, if you would have looked at the posts I cited you would have realized they were from Weylin, and a bizarre new rule about not "ranting" or inquiring about products untill there has been an official press release. Very helpful.

I'm not flaming your company's thread, I'm flaming you. You said you hate rctech. It shows. Get another job.

Lets change the mood in here please. :nod:

Anyone heading to nor-cal for 10th scale nats?

I only had to call onetime and left a message after hours and A Viper rep. called me back the next day. Answered all my questions about their products I was interested in. In my experience, I can tell you that it's refreshing to know that Viper followed through with what they promise to do, rather than brushing me off. :)
