Mine's at 6lb 3oz....still heavy to most. :)

Yea post up your findings here....im runnin indoors now and soon to be outdoors. Ibe used profile 3 turned timing down and punch control down a bit. I may play w it some this weekend. I just took setup advice from a fellow racer and havent changed it since

I have a new vtx 10r and I cant seem to get any brakes .... I can get drag brakes but when I apply brakes the tires just keep spinning and the r light on the esc blinks any help would be nice thanks guys.

I got my RMA number for a return, but I lost the original receipt but I have a copy from my LHS. Will that work for my return?

i was able to run a 17T with the 4.5 and was around 160 after 8 minutes or so.

Any word if weeks or months? I may want to give the 5200 a try, but im trying to convince my friend to get a 4.5 for his sc10 4x.

Lol mine is 7lbs rtr. The body alone is 687 grams due to all the tape holding it down. More than a year old

Thanks. I'll try one at a time and see where it feels the best for the new layout. Today I killed one pack and it was at 107 :lol:

tibbs- make sure your EPA is set at 100 when you program your radio. I had an old profile set at 120 and it took me a few minutes to find put while I had no break.

Opio- as long as its an official receipt, that is accurate.

Juarez- motor should be in the office early part of next week.

I also have to agree wthi what larlev has said. I pounded mine around the yard (first time I have done that in years) for a bunch of packs. Lots of long full power runs, even let my 7 year drive a few packs (he ran the R51 at full power!) and never got over 155 in 8-9 minute runs. Average temps were upper 130's. Copperhead is fun and fast!!

Tibbs-
With your proguage set the brake PWM freq to the lowest setting and make sure when you calibrate the radio to VTX10R your End Points are 100-110%

Opio-
A copy of the receipt is good enough

Thanks for the reply! On its way.

Going to try a copperhead-r with a 5150. I was wondering is the 4500 motor availible seprate and if you race would you get the pro gauge? Are the profiles unadjustable unless you have it?

I would get the Pro Gauge. You will need it to fine tune profiles.
I raced an RCPro event with the R45 in my SCTE and it held it's own just fine. I do have the R51 also and it is a screamer. I do not believe motors are available by themselves at this time.

So I have purchased a few VTX10's on this site, none have come with the original reciepts. If a problem occurs will I be able to send them in for service? Will I be able to send them in to get updated? Thanks

Where can I purchase the PC-Link?

I have a vtx10r with a 4.5 550 viper motor. I have only raced the system one time and I noticed the timing on the motor was way below 15 degrees. So I pulled the motor and I could move the end cap with my hand. Tried to tighten it and I couldn't tighten it up much more I still moves what's the deal?
