Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to make the Fall Brawl as I had already gotten concert tix for that night.

Ran twice this weekend with my TLR 22 with a VTX10 /VST 10.5 and cannot believe how fast and how smooth the VTX speed controls are, and I have been running them for a year now.

NO problem motoring the local "factory" guys and their equipment

Hey guys quick question i am running at smac track in St Chales Missouri which is an extremely high bite track, like guys are sanding down tires to help the car handle better high bite, so i think my speedo is a little too smoothe i would like the power to come on a little quicker then its does i had to take the drag break out of the esc cause the thing was just slowing down way too much when i let off, i am using profile 2 what can i do to make the power more aggressive? Also the track is fairly small will gearing up help or hurt the car? I drive a 22 which is geared at 76-21 with an 8.5 VTX or should i gear down to help with acceleration?

jsp - you can try adjusting the throttle curve to the positive side -- EXP+1, +2, etc.... It will accelerate the curve of the throttle response, making it feel more aggressive. Just something to try.

First I need to ask if you have a ProGage. If you do, you can gear down (78/21 or 76/20) and maybe run some Accel Boost (start at 4 or 5 degrees), and/or some top speed timing

I run a 10.5 VST with the following settings in my 22

Does anyone have one of those nice setup sheets for 17.5 boost in sc I'm running a xxx-sct geared 75 - 26 currently seems like the boost steals all the low end punch and comes on way to late should I start rpms lower than 3500?

Sensored 4 pole products are still down the road. The Copperhead/VX4 series coming out this month will be sensorless.

VX4 series (540 size) will be 3900kv and 5200kv
VX4R series (550 size) will be 3900kv and 5150kv

VX4 are scheduled to be here as early as mid month, but I don't know if there have been any shipping delays. Plus a couple of days to get from the Viper offices to the retailers.

Questions??

What gearing should I start with in a 17.5 B4.1 Boosted? Or maybe even a full setup for the ESC (VTX10) as well Off-road Indoor, medium size, medium traction.
-Thanks

Hi Guys,

I am loving my Viper set up, BUT, I have a pre-production VTX10 with A16....

I have sent a couple emails to Trey asking for an update link. I'm not sure if he is away or not, but I have not got a reply. I would really like to run the newer version.

Anyone that can help please PM me and I will forward my email.

Thanks
