mini-dub aka Weylin Rose is a "random person" ? He wrote those posts !

I was on a "rant"? Is it now "valid"?

I'm sorry, I gave you and your company a chance. I now have no plans to purchase any of your products after this. Other manufacturers will soon have new generations of motors out, smart phone apps will appear to counter your Pro Guage, and new versions of their esc's will appear which are better than their current offerings. I'll spend my money on them, and recommend against your company to my friends.
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.

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?

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.

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.
