Some receivers still require a glitch buster but most of the time it should work fine as long as the BEC voltage is set above 6.8 volts. Try it and if it starts causing some problems put a glitch buster in the receiver channel.

Eric-

cool thanks.

I'll play with it

Here's goes my first post on rctech. I am recently bringing my Losi XXX-T MF back to life and I installed the Viper VTX10 and VST 8.5 into it. The truck runs great but I have no clue what settings I should be running timing/boost/break etc. so I am running stock setup for now. The truck is currently geared 86/21. I love that the Viper VTX10 has all the bells and whistles I just need some help figuring them out. Can anyone help me out with a base setup to get me started? The Losi XXX-T is a 2wd stadium truck. The track a run at is packed clay and I would say medium in size.


Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Here is a good starting setup with an 8.5 motor.

Throttle Punch 100%
Throttle Frequency 16,000 hz
Brake Freq 12,000 hz
No boost and no timing (leave in Race Blinky mode)
Drag brake 10%
Dynamic Brake Strength 0%

Motor temp cutoff: Disable
ESC Temp cutoff: 220*
Voltage Cut-off: Lowest Voltage Setting

Keep checking temps of the motor and esc after 5 minute intervals. It shouldnt exceed 160* for both. Ideal temps should be within 120-150 range

I hope this helps

thanks eric, i appreciate the help.

hey guys
are there any plans for a crawler based system in the future?
or would say the vtx10 and a 17.5T or 21.5T with the 12.8mm rotor be the equivalent to a crawler based system?
id prefer to get all my speedos and motors under one name.

we haven't discussed a crawler specific system -- but you seem to have the right idea on a direction to try!!!!

Looking for ESC suggestions for a Durago DEX410 with a VTX10 and 7.5t setup.
Track is indoors, smooth dirt with a little clay mixed in. Gearing 87/22

VTX10R or Black Edition VTX10R

In the Durango 4wd buggy, I might go with the regular 10R, because the cap board installed on top of the esc, might save you some room in a tight fit chassis.

Let another driver drive my XXX-SCT with the Viper VTX and a Viper 17.5 in it last night @ the track!!! And he was amazed @ how smooth it is. He is running a Tekin.

Nice!!! Like to hear it.

In the last two weeks we have really seen how versatile our stuff can be. Josh Cyrul TQ's and wins WGT 10.5, Mark Smyka finishes 2nd in 17.5 1/12 at IIC, Travis Amzecua TQ's Pro 4 (4wd SC) at Reedy Truck race, Multiple drivers in A Mains at J Concepts NE Champs in MA (2wd 17.5, 4wd Mod, 2wd Mod). Different types of racing, different requirements - Viper was in the mix, giving drivers what they needed to perform.

Raced Expert Stadium truck last Friday night, I got TQ and 2nd in the A main. Running a vtx10r-BE and viper 7.5 motor with no boost. Ran great all night long. Thanks Viper

I have been running Tekins in all my offroad 1/10 scale, just ordered a VTX10 sensored brushless system with VST8.5 (6VSVT10003), looking forward to giving Viper a try after all the positive things I've read. The new system will be going in my 22

What truck/gearing/settings on the vtx are you running?

everyone is always asking me that and I don't know as I have so many cars, LOL but it's a AE T4.1, 100% punch, 9600hz, no boost. I will try to look at info later and post it up.
