Default WOW!

I just took ownership of my first viper esc, the vtx10. I've had hobbywing, novak, tekin, and others but this is the first one that really amazed me.

I run 2wd SC w/ 13.5 motor. I gps'd the car w/ the vtx10 in practice profile i.e. no boost and reverse. The car hit a top speed of 24mph, which is an average speed for the track I race on. Then I put the vtx10 in profile 3 i.e. 13.5 boost profile. The car hit a top speed of 36mph, I was shocked! I don't think I need that kind of speed but it's nice to know I can gear down

Thanks Viper, nice job!! If it holds up like my Tekins then I'll be buying more.

Glad to hear this. I also bought the same Viper setup for my 2wd buggy. Afterwards I heard the Orion system was what I should've bought. Maybe it was just personal opinion, but, sure does have me wondering if I made the right decision. I haven't installed my system yet, but, hope to this weekend. Will post results after a few runs at the track.

Brian - what system are you running and under what conditions does it shut off? checklist of things to check:
- power connections (battery and plugs, if used)
- sensor cable
- different motor (or sensor board in motor is you have one)
- Capacitor board (check solder points, or replace).

If the power cuts off, something is happening somewhere. If it comes back on, my 1st thought is something is loose somewhere.

shagnet - thanks for the purchase - please let us know if you have any questions. Our stuff is on par (above if you ask us) with anything on the market. I watched a driver use the VTX/VST 13.5 turn the same lap times as racers using other mfgs running a 7.5-9.5. Our boost program is awesome to work with, great adjustments to work with. And we have won several events in blinky mode against other factory backed competition including the 2011 2wd ROAR Nationals.
