vtx1 is stated for being more so for an onroad as the vtx10 is offroad capable.
There may be some difference there, i personally have a vtx10 and love it. |

Thanks Throttle punch settings for 4wd Short Course Applications When using the VTX10R speed control with sensored 550 motors, we recommend a setting of 30% on your throttle punch settings in 4wd SC applications. We recommend these VTX10R settings when running 4wd SC with the VST XL 4.5 or 5.5 motors. VTX10R-Profile #2 Brake strength: 80% Brake PWM freq: 8000Hz Brake curve: linear Neutral Drag brake: 0-10% Throttle PWM freq: 9600Hz Throttle punch: 20%-30% Throttle curve: Linear Deadband: Middle No timing: default No motor protection ESC protection: 240 degrees Note* ESC Protection takes a heat reading from inside the speed control where a normal heat gun can’t take an accurate core reading. _________________________________ You guys are all on the mark - the VTX1 has a booster for 1s use and can be used in 2s down to 6.5 motors. |
How to I change motor rotation? Do I simply swap wires or do I rotate the can like on brushed motors?
|
Swapping any two wires should work.

Go to your radio and reverse it, what radio do you have? and go into ur speedo's card and play with it, i dont remember but i think somebody is in there Im am pretty sure it will fry if wires flip with sensored system, it happend to a few guys at track, wrong wires on tabs and smoke. |

Go into radio or re solder wires |

Not if it's sensored...only un-censored motors can be swapped.
Go into radio or re solder wires I've gone through all the settings in the ESC and haven't found throttle norm/rev. If I need to swap wires, where does the ABC wires need to be on the motor? |
Ok, I'm stumped. VTX10R on A30 firmware.
I've gone through the ProGauge settings and nothing is related to motor rotation. I've zeroed and recalibrated with radio trigger rev & norm. Nothing. I've also flipped the sensor wire on the motor and that didn't change anything either. Only thing left is swapping wires and that's going to result in a smoke storm. So, what do I do? |

There is no option in this radio that has changed the direction that the motor turns. I've gone through everything.

Viper website says vtx1 is 1-2s. Other than that are they the same?
This is more of an on-road thing, as 1/12th scale and VTA classes run 1s Lipo. On 2s, the VTX1 and VTX10 are pretty much the same. The VTX1 was just made to fit all on-road classes, not just 1s. |

I went racing last night with my Viper 7.5 powered 1/10th caster buggy, It was a BIG night as we had over 10 fast guys come up from California to race at our track. It was a night of N. Nevada VS N. Cal. LOL In mod 4wd buggy we had a full 10 in the A main. I would have qual'ed 3 or 4 if laped traffic didn't get into me and hung up on my wing. It's all good though. I qual'ed 5th. Before the main i put on a new set of clay raptors with proline foam but still had some real loose fitting rear switch and aka foam. I got some proline foam to try in some new rear tires i just got for my buggy. I just missed 22 laps by less the a sec. I took 4th place.
http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/w.../1-6-124wd.jpg 2wd open sc had also had a full 11 in the A main. My Viper powered 10.5 Kyosho ran great all night. I made a few to many mistakes but again it's all good. I qual'ed 4th and took 2nd in the main again missing 21 laps by less then a sec. http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/w...y/1-6-12sc.jpg |
