Anything else change from the last time your ran? New track layout, is it slicker than before, where you getting more wheelspin, driving more aggressive, felt like your rear tires were worn out? Lots of things could add hear or even make it run cooler. There is no magic bullet for setups - its always moving target. But when you hit the target - everything is perfect!!

Sorry, I missed your question - It has a separate plug for the programming. Check your PM and let me know.

Just a small update in that case : My email was not answered yet ;) Maybe the forum is a faster way to communicate with Viper ...

Those of us who answer questions in the forum are different from those who complete the RMA work - everyone has their roles (and they are multiple roles).....

PM me your email address and I will send over any update info I can get for you.

By any chance did you change your gear mesh? Make any changes to the driveline at all? Binding in the driveline, busted or frozen bearings, and too tight of a gear mesh will send temps up pretty high as well.

Anyone know who has VTX10Rs in stock right now?

They should be back in stock soon - a little 2012 updating!!! :D :tire::tire::tire::tire:

Seems I'm in the market for an ESC after having some issues with one of mine. I was intrigued by the higher voltage BEC (than most) of the Viper and was curious if that voltage was adjustable?

Guess I'll find out, ordered the 10R a few minutes ago.

HELP!!!!!!!
 

Well I was racing tonight with my Copperhead VX4.39 motor and ESC on my XXX-SCT, running low 140 temps, went over a jump and pow, it dies. I cant power up the ESC at all. I was at the local track and everyone looked at it and couldn't find any inital problems like loose connections, etc.
The ESC sometimes will show a faint red light then quickly fade after about 3 seconds from pushing the ESC power button. Has the ESC died? Do I need to send the motor and ESC back to Viper?

Anyone else have this problem? I tried everything I know anlong with the experts at the track. Everyone was stumped. Its really wierd it would just up and quit and never turn on again.

Doh, just ordered an ESC. Guess I should have done some research first lol. Regardless, I appreciate you guys taking care of the military members!

Yes. 6-7V adjustable via the progauge.

I'm running my 2wd buggy at 7V right now. No issues yet, but I haven't dropped below 7V. I got an answer about this a few pages back, someone (who wasn't a viper employee?) said the bec will just cut out/servo stop working once the lipo voltage falls below. I was hoping it had an integrated booster like the VTX1 did...

I'm of two minds with this atm. My servo is fast enough (one of those ones rated at around 0.1) so an increase of 1V might only drop it to 0.08, which probably isn't that noticeable, plus I'm a bit dubious about servo speed ratings anyhow.

New bells and whistles?

Size of rear wheel nut??
 

Sorry guys, but, I obviously do not have the proper size socket for the rear wheel nut. Yes, the one that holds the tire/wheel onto the axle. PLEASE tell me what size socket I need and does it need to be deep-well?
TIA

I haven't changed anything in my vehicles since the last race. The ambient temp outside was actually cooler this past weekend vs the one before. The track was looser but no one else saw a temp rise that I did. I will check for binding in the drivetrain but I don't think I had any. I will check for bearing failure as well. Everything is torn apart so a thorough check is in order. Thanks for the info guys. I appreciate it.
