The VTX8 is in development. The Copperhead series and motors are coming out soon, VTX1 (1s speed control), and the VTX8 is in the development plan.

Moving forward!!!!!

I would recommend starting the slew rate at 8* and then go up if need be. I have mine setup at 10* in 1/12th scale 13.5 boost. The slew rate is basically like boost ramping, the higher the number the more agressive the boost kicks in but also more heat is generated. Hope that answers your question. Let me know how that goes.

Looking for some breakdowns in the settings...

The top speed timing settings has a "slew rate", no clue what that is.

I roughly set it up as close to "Tekin Schmekin" set up as I could but the slew rate threw me off..

Going to shoot an email to Trey but it is nice to discuss in here..

vroom vroom hiissssssss

Default 1/12 1s setup

I know the question was asked in here months ago, but it ever got an answer (that I saw)...can the VTX10 be used in a 1s configuration? Most of the other brands can be made to work with a receiver pack what about the Viper?

Thanks

The VTX10 will not work with 1 cell. We do have our VTX1 which is actually waiting on ROAR approval for the firmware and for me to finish the manual.

No booster required!!

We have moved to 12 slot, 4 pole motors for the 1/8th scale line up. We will release the new motors with the VTX8.

Good to know. Cause that 2 poler was a joke. Makes me wonder who ok'ed that design, without doing their homework.
Final assembly of that motor was good, but there were other parts that were just lacking for the price I paid for the motor. If Viper wanted to stick with High RPM, High Torque 2 pole motors, they should of made it slotless, with a bigger diameter rotor. Would've been a nice competitor against the mighty Lehner and Hacker 2 polers.

Novak just raised the bar with their Ballistic 8. Will Viper compete with them?

Wish I had a definitive answer for you but with ROAR it's anyone guess. Work on the manual for the Copperhead and VTX1 starts this week, those will not take long.

And anyone wondering about the fan kits for the VTX10 & VTX10R ESC's. Here is the VTX10R fan.
