Ok guys, don't be mad at me for being off topic, but if you love full size cars as much as our smaller ones, this is worth the 5 minutes.

I personally enjoyed the final 30 seconds the most.

I appreciate your support of the Military but, when I contacted the company I was asked for a CAC and AKO. There are legal and national security problems in providing this information.
I asked my COC and was told a copy of an LES (with social and bank account numbers blacked out) and a Drivers License would be more than enough to prove Military service to an online retailer.

Yes sending a photo of CAC is illegal. I sent an email from my navy.mil email account and that worked for me.

I don't actually do the tech work - but I sent the request over to those who do -- as soon as I get answer I will send it over. Don't shoot the messenger if its not til Monday - I just saw the post -- I have been flying home from TX today.

Well with no response to my post above I ran that profile in my race last night and won the A Main. YEA!!!!
Quick question with something that came up though...I ran in practice, no problem. Cleaned up and charged up for the heats. When it was time for my heat I plugged in my battery and turned on the ESC and I was getting what I believe is the thermal shutdown error (Red and Orange lights flashing). I could steer but no ESC response and I couldn't even shut it off, had to unplug. So I turned the motor just a bit and plugged the battery back in and turned the ESC on and it worked normally. Has anyone else seen this behavior?
The is a VXT10R ESC with a VST13.5t and a 2S Lipo.

My viper finally failed me :-( tested fine on the bench and test laps went out for some more and it shut down. No temp on esc and 13.5 motor was 103 degs really conservative now when I turn it on rx works steering good esc arms and when I hit the throttle the esc resets as if I turned it on and off. I did notice after some more tests the cap looks white instead of grey and seems to get hot can I replace the cap or do I have to send it in?

hey guys
i finally got in my viper vlink
holy crap, i didn't think it would make that much of a difference!
it was like an on/off switch. night and day difference. it accelerates WAY, WAY harder.
this is going from A19 straight to A55.
the only thing i can complain is that a 10cm USB adapter wire is about useless in my opinion, but luckily i have about 5 of them in 6ft, (maybe it is a good thing to have more Cell phone chargers then you can keep track of)
