Well can't wait!!!
 

Ordered my Viper Copperhead ESC w/ 5150kv for my Ten-SCTE today!!! Can't wait till it gets here... Hope I didn't make a mistake!

I know it is sold but it does say roar approved, at least for SCT racing

sorry to post a pic of said companies product in the viper thread:(

5150KV
 

Does the 5150KV use the same mod 1 pinion gear that the 4600kv uses with the Ten-SCTE or do I have to buy an adapter to use a Mod 1 gear? Can I plug the Copperhead ESC into my computer to program it???

The 5150 and 4500 (550 sized) Copperheads have a 5mm shaft, so they do take the larger pinions.

The Copperhead can have the programming detailed with the ProGauge, we are still working on the VLink computer program. But the ProGauge fits in the tool box a lot easier than a laptop.

Tom - not really worried our VTX/VST systems are ROAR legal, and plenty fast on the track!!!

I knew I was going to miss someone I didn't know in the Cactus Results - and it was a biggie.

Mike Friery TQ's and Wins both the 17.5 and 13.5 Buggy classes!!! He also finished 4th in 13.5 4wd. Awesome results!!

Congrats to all

You are not going to be disappointed. Power, speed, easy to work with - oh yea, it doesn't hurt your wallet either. All around a good deal. FYI - a lot of the development work on the motor was done with the SCTE.

Youll be more than pleased, I sold my pro 4600 and RX8 after having the opportunity to run the copperhead 5150 combo. I run on a good sized 1/8th scale track and several locals couldn't believe how fast it was and even better yet at that good of a price :nod:

Thanks nikos. The Viper power worked great all weekend. Definitely had one of the fastest cars in the 13.5 buggy class!

WOW Congrats Mike and all the Viper Drivers accross the boards. Great Job and way to represent!!!!:D

Rest in Peace
 

I just wanted to take a moment and say that I found out over the weekend that Steve Semeraro had past away late last week. Steve ran for Viper last year and turned down a spot on the 2012 team because he had to get out of racing for a while. He was one of the first people to try Viper in the NE and helped to get the ball rolling. I was surprised when I saw him at Motorama last month, he said he had to race when he could. We agreed to get together at some tracks in CT this summer. Kinda shocking news, I can't say I know exactly how old he was,but it was before his time. So if you are so inclined- say a little prayer tonight, squeeze your love ones a little tighter. Steve - finish the lap your on.......

Hi Nick.Steve was only 39 years old.He will surely be missed by all his friends and people he helped in the R/C community.:(

RIP Steve

Story on RedRC about Viper powered cars winning at Spanish 2wd Champs!!! The winning continues!!

I was wondering if profile#1 has anything to do with this? I have a VTX10 and an 8.5 and left it on profile#1 - resulting in horrible squealing noises and no power. profile#2 seemed to fix this. Something to do with timing?

Also, #1 is stated at 13.5-21.5 and #2 6.5-10.5. Would I be better off setting for an 11.5 to #2 or #1?
