Have you called Viper tech support? Quite often you get better results talking to someone instead of trying to use the forum to troubleshoot

Took a dissapointing third in 2wd sct this past saterday. The Viper powered TLR XXX-SCT was dialed. In the A main with two minute to go I was swapping positions with the leader and my voltage cap came unstuck causing my power hungry savox servo to drain the speedo if it pulled to much load. So I needed to back off to avoid this.



Next time I will have better results to post.

Trying to program with Progauge...push and hold red button for 1 second with progauge connected and get nothing. If I hold longer than 1 it goes into calibration. Now when truck is turned on it experiences runaways. Did calibrate

What am I missing? Have to be doing something wrong.

Yeah I called them and there stumped so I'm re doing all my wiring just to make sure before I call back again or send it back..


Question I beep test the motor with a tester conductivity when I test the A/B/C on the motor all beep and there like touching like there's bridge.. example if I put the tester pin on "A" and put the other tester pin on "C" it beeps..it does it for all ABC..A/B beeps C/B ect..beeps this is normal? I didn't melt the solder inside the motor were they probably touching each other..I don't want to open the motor up might break it or something.

Thanks *

When you calibrate turn on your radio first. Now with the speedo off press and hold the on button for three seconds. You will here two beeps. Then hold the throttle and you will hear a beep. Then press and hold break, it will beep one more time and then go to the run mode.


I have had issues befor to only to find it was my DX3R calibration was off. Try this and you should get it.

Go to the menu. Scroll down to reset. The scroll down to parameter reset. Then you will see a bunch of line gauges, turn your wheel full left then full right. Then brake full then throttle full. Then scroll down to the save button and click it. And your done.

Now proceed to rebind the VTX10

Thanks I did it is it normal for all the numbers to ends up like 1324 ect.? I tot it was suppose to be all zero or all the same even like 1222 1333 ect..

Now It don't get stuck on orange light after I hit forward it cycles and goes to back to normal. Green neutral red power S green..but when give it power the lights responds to forward/reverse input but the motor won't turn

Thanks

is your throttle channel set to reverse or normal? try setting it to the other option from what it is currently then rebind.
