Ok i will recalibrate tonight and also check the signal as i didn't get to it last night. If i remember correctly I got no beeps after the brake was full on and i pushed the button and none after it returned to neutral. But I will recheck for sure.

Thanks

Also make sure the sensor wire is plugged in. I do not think you will get a beep if it is unplugged (Calibration and the lights will still work)

Yes that is my problem. I was expecting the beep while holding full brake and didnt get any notification when pressing the button. I just redid it and after a few seconds when trigger returned to neutral I received the beeps and esc armed.

Hope that is what you are describing.
I did lower the the freq down to 1000 to start.

I wont have much time to learn more about the system before the races friday night but I hope to get some practice and testing done fri afternoon/eve.
Thanks

Viper info needed for sc10 4x4
 

I have a sc10 4x4 with mmp and Novak 5.5 hv 550 motor. I was going to buy a Tekin Pro4 until I came I read about Viper. I would like to hear comparisons of the Viper, Tekin and Novak motors. Most guys around here run the Tekin Pro4 4000. I don't know anyone running the vipers, but am very interested after reading about them. I am interested in the 550 and the 540 (if Viper has one like the Pro4 4-pole).

What Viper motor compares to the Tekin Pro4 540 4 pole?
Will a Viper motor run well with a MMP? If so, which models?
Whats the difference between the viper copperheads and their other motors? I really am interested in the sensored unless someone changes my mind.

Also, I really like the idea of the progauge and would be interested in a complete system.....any info would be appreciated.

In theory the high watts the more power the motor makes
Vipers 540 can VST's up to about a 6.5T kill . Tekin, Novak based off Watts.
After the 6.5T mark the other start building more.

My Viper 6.5T I just got in the mail has about the same watts as Novaks 5.5T 540 can

I know Novaks 4.5T 550 can is strong. Very strong. I can't compare Viper to it. I sold it to buy more viper parts for my B44.1 and SC10 2wd.

I know my Viper 17.5T out pulls my Novak 13.5T all day. Huge difference in power from the two...

What are you running in your sc10 4x4? I am looking to compete with the guys runnung the Tekin Pro4 4000kv. Most of the other guys are running 550s

Novak Havoc Pro SC with a 4.5T 550

It moves. and moves fast
I am running a Clutch Basket and 3 HD pads nut flush and It will pull the front wheels up everywhere. It likes to do back flips on a level surface.

I had a guy with a Tekin 4.5 drive mine and he said the Novak had more go.
Gearing was 15/62

Thanks.....Is there must difference between the Novak 5.5 HV 550 that I have and the 4.5 you run?

I would still like more info on the Viper setups vs the Tekin Pro4 4000 if anyone has any input. Really like the Viper features but haven't heard from anyones experience.

The Novak 4.5T 550 is 890 watts
The VST4.5XL 4.5T is 807 watts
Tekin Pro4 4000 doesn't have a watts listing.
Tekin SC4X 4.5T has 900watts.

Viper's copperhead R is I am told going to be bad ass but people have been waiting and waiting for them to come out and no words. but they are sensorless. I like sensored after driving them

Viper VTX10
 

Just listed a like new VTX10 ESC in the for sale section.:nod:

I run the Copperhead in my SCTE...they are as bad ass as some say. $150 system that has all the power and speed you will need.
They will be out very soon...very soon

I am interested in the copperhead combo but not going to wait much longer... How do they compare to the mmp and pro4 4000? Never ran a sensor less motor. Any pros/cons vs sensored motor? I even thought about a viper Vtx10r esc and viper or pro4 motor. any thoughts?

Stuff looking and working really well.:nod:

The Copperhead is extremely smooth for a non-s motor. I was surprised just how smooth it was. I guess paired with an esc that is designed specifically for a certain motor makes a huge difference. It's designed for the budget racer/basher, but it has held it's own for me racing.
I want them to hurry up as well..been testing it for a month now. I want you guys to see why I like this combo so much.

The Viper stuff period is very good. You can't go wrong with either.

Thanks for your info. If I can't wait for the 4pole copperhead combo, can you recommend a different viper combo with the same performance for the sc10 4x4?
