The little red rubber button popped off my VTX10R switch! It's lost. Can I replace? What can be done?

How the heck did you manage that?

Who knows. Went to turn it off after a heat last night and no little red button.

Guy, make sure your EPA's are set at 100% before you re-bind your esc to your radio. Also check and see where your Throttle Curve is - I know in one of your past set ups you used EXP+ - which ups the curve to reach top end faster.

ok, I'm sure they were, i usually never play with those but I will zero all out, rebind. Im going to gear up the 10.5 to a 27, 25 had a little more low end then I like and not much top end. The low end was throwing me off and causing me more mistakes....

btw, I can run a 6.5 in my 4wheel? i have the 10 not the r, I thought it could only handle a 7.5...Down the straight my 8.5 wheel nearly gets ran over but my laps are just as fast, Ill play with boost more.

Finally my brother got the copperhead replacment engine and progauge, just a lot of mixup make it arrive so late but now he is happy..

Thanks to viper for the support:sweat:

ok so yesterday my vx10 esc started acting up in my b4.1

I remember taping the wires near the switch with my soldering iron by accident and started a slight fray of the wires, 4 months later the fray got worse and could possibly be touching each other, in the middle of runs it was acting up and had random dead spots...

it would also sometimes not accept my radio and stay blinking neutral since it could not find that in my radio, recalibrated the esc 5 times and it did not work, even switched profiles...nothing. any suggestions? I think its the wires touching and shorting itself out.

Got my Copperhead 5150 set up last night, I am not going to lie at first I didn't like how big it was and and looked at the manual and thought this is going to be a pain and it was for about 30 minutes until I understood how it worked. Got the settings and learned the pro gauge and all I can say is this is VERY sweet set up and it is very smooth. This thing breaks free all 4 tires at once turned down. Only hard part was seeing how it programs and to make sure it was programed but after that it is a treat to mess with. Its got some torque! More than my 2 pole set ups low end excelleration is up there.

When setting endpoints my radio has 100% for brake and throttle but goes to 140 for throttle and 160 for brake I set my end points from 140 and 160 is that correct?

nikos2002 04-14-2012 05:04 PM

The system should find neutral better with the end points set at 100 each. If you leave the end points at 140 and 160 it might feel 'weird' at low throttle or when you first push the break.

I am glad you like the Copperhead, can't wait to finish my test program so I can put it back in my SC10 4wd.

Just took some getting used to and it doesnt feel funny at all other than being over motored for even asphalt with sticky tires lol I would like to eventually get the smaller motor when the motors are out by themselves. system doesnt feel bad or twitchy at all except when you do not expect it to go in reverse from not adjusting it correctly i was turning it off after the pro gauge adjustments lol

sheesh. i might fiddle with the 5.0 and see if i can get it to wheelie after seeing that

nikos2002 04-14-2012 11:18 PM

The wheelies were done with the Copperhead 5150 combo.

I run the Viper Copperhead in my TEN SCTE and I was about two minutes into the race main tonight when it shutdown. I went down, picked up my vechile and was able to turn it back on. When my truck shutdown, I was not in a middle of a jump or close to one. Given that you have to hold down the button down to shut it off, do I need to send it in for service?
