Thanks very much. It was a very exciting race to be in! Yes it is carpet and similar to Ozite. Jumps are carpeted with wood frame underneath. Slippery section on right side is MDF and requires worn tires. New Schumacher tires in the rear just spin out and new front staggers push!! Tires are best after 4-6 runs.

Any chance you guys are going to up the voltage limit? 4S would be great. Thanks.

A unit that can handle 4s is in the development pipeline.

Just thought I'd drop in a quick note about my Viper powered XFactory X60. After the TQ and win last week I had a bunch of people asking me how my truck was so fast yet so controllable. Nobody believed me that I was running a 10.5 with no timing on the esc.....put it in Blinky mode. Motor came off after an 8 minute main at 100 degrees and had all the low and top end anyone could ask for. I let a couple guys drive it after the main, needless to say the shop owner had to order 3 10.5 combos for the guys. They couldn't believe just how smooth yet powerful the system was. 3 "converts" in 5 minutes of driving, gotta love it!

+1 My viper 10.5 in my truck runs very cool and keeps up with those 8.5's at my LHS as well. Very pleased with all my Viper stuff.

No sir I'm out of Connecticut, not sure where my LHS got them from but I can tell you the guys love 'em! It's getting to the point for me where I actually switch cars and trucks with guys during qualifiers. I will admit my XFactory rides are DIALED but I just pop the Viper speedos into Blinky and tell the guys to give it a solid run. It's really funny when they first say it's the car, when that happens I tell em to bring theirs to my pit and I put my electronics in their buggies. Same fdr and Blinky mode, then they pick up so much time they get mad about all the money they spent on other esc's! Then I really feel bad when their used stuff sits forever in the case at the track because everyone wants to buy a Viper now
Now some may say I'm biased seeing that my electronics sponsor is Viper and my Chassis sponsor is XFactory, but BY FAR the smoothest, most powerful yet controllable products I've run in my 20+++ (I won't tell you exactly how many years ) years of racing. Add to that the INSANE and consistent power I get from my Speedzone USA Lipos and the setup makes even me look like a "Ryan" or a "Jared" on the track

Let me start by saying that I really like the viper system I have. Now with that said, I am in need of a stock set up for a 10r/vst17.5. I am pulling out my hair with gearing trying to keep up with even my own laps times running a different motor. I have a B4.1 worlds and I have ran 69/30 through 69/37. What I would really like to see is someones esc settings. Any help would be AWESOME!

Thanks for the info. I will try this out tomorrow. One question though, what is slew? I don't have that? Or am I missing something?

Hello

Can you surgest for my what should we take for ours SC.We are running in big 1:8 track.
I would like to try one Copperhead combo for Slash 4x4, weight 2.6kg with T-rce chassy. Now I am running stock Velilnen 3500 and just on the straight other Slash with Tekin Pro4600 is faster when I. So which wopuld be better Copperhead 4500Kv or 5150Kv .
And we need VST XL for Losi SC. Will VSTXL 4.5 will be good for it?

CAn you explain what is main different betveen VTX10 and VTX10R

Thanks Gytis

opio- slew rate is part if the boost settings. If you can't run boost at your track, try the other settings as a base to work from. Every track and driving style are a little different.

rcq- yes for a big track the Copperhead 5150 or
VTX10R/VST4.5 XL are good choices. They are big power motors and can be geared for big tracks. The difference is sensored or unsensored, as well as cost.

With the 10 and the 10R- the 10R can run lower turn modifieds and 550 motors. It's slightly taller than the 10, if that matters.

Thats answer I and expected.
But what about Motor for AE SC. Like I know there is not enought plase for it to place bigger motors like VST XL 4.5. It have to be VST L6.0 ? But will he have enought speed for big track.

What Current can hold VTX 10 and VTX 10r.
What About VTX 1. Is this ESC just good for 1S Lipo, or we can use sometime and with 2S. If its good and with 2S in what situation you would't surgest to use it.
