early to mid december according to viper

ouch... my understanding about a month ago was we would likely see the SENSORED by then.... looks like after the first of the year now? :cry:

Thecman - Thanks. It was a good weekend. I was really impressed with the dirt and tire wear. I worked with Dan on Sunday and looked over his setup. I drove his car after some changes and it was pretty good, but we had a bit more to look at. Nikos has his contact information and a history of what was occurring and what all we tried.

Nikos - No problem, that is what we are here for.

Salad said a month ago that once the Non sensored 4 poles came out they would possibly release information on the sensoreds.

So you only miss remembered what was being released, and that was the Info on the Sensoreds 4 poles.

Im thinkn im really not gonna miss my tekin 4 pole, i just dont thi,nk it was that powerful!! As for copperhead being unsensored, i dont think its gonna matter except for roar sanctioned events, iv never drove my truck and thought sure glad this motors sensored

Right now the production schedule has VST L motors, VTX1 speedo, and VX4/Copperhead in the short term. Anything else is too much of a guess. And as we all know when developing products putting an exact release date out there is a hard thing to do.

We have a lot of great products right now, and more in the pipeline.

Any estimate on when we may see some mock ups or dimensions of the 1/8 scale ESC?

The original ideas were to have the VTX8 come in as close as possible to the size of the VTX10 series. I haven't seen any actual mock ups or additional work yet - engineers like to keep that stuff pretty secret til they are ready to show it off.

no prob. I am keeping an eye out for your product as I have heard good things. One thing I would love to see personally is an ESC that doesn't use a fan at all.

Thats the plan!!! :cool::sneaky:

Love Viper! Great speedo and motors. Wanted to post my setup to see if any of you tech guys would tweak at all. Runs good, just trying to get a bit more. High bite kinda short track with lots of traction. 1 decent straight, pretty tight other than that. Running B4 with Vtx10 and viper 13.5. Was geared at 75/28 but just switched to 75/31.

Thanks for any input!!

Really looking forward to trying out a viper system in my SC's

I have an issue with my viper 8.5 motor when i got it it seamed under powered so i switched my esc from speed passion to lrp now when I set it up theirs no power and seams to want to go in reverse i had a viper team guy look at it he said there was no issue I checked my connections my wires and changed the sensor wire still not working I know my esc is fine because it ran my epic motor fine any help would be great

spdrac430 - its always good to check all your connections, but if your other motor runs OK we need to look at some other things.

- our motors are more torque based than some others, normally I would recommend going up a tooth or two from what you were geared previously.

- Does the motor spin freely? Is it hard to turn?
- Did you do anything to adjust timing? I saw a customer turn down timing when he thought he was turning it up.

If you still are having issues after looking at those points, I would recommend going to the Viper website (www.viper-rc.com), fill out an RMA for and return it for exchange. 8.5 should be pretty quick if working correctly.

I hope that helps.

it spins freely off the car now it just squeals and doesn't move every thing looks normal and correct the other motor is in and works fine just an issue with this one
