Will there be motor/esc/progauge combos offered with the black edition escs anytime soon?

Tran - check your PM

You can get a ESC/ProGauge combo with the Black Edition. Don't know if we are going to do a motor combo, it will be put in the suggestion box!!

I have the Copperhead R45 and have been happy with the power and speed in my SCTE for club racing. However, there is an odd problem with it. Sometimes when I land from a jump, the truck just stops and throttle won't work for a second. Then all of a sudden it works again. The steering continues to work properly during these "blackouts". Is this normal for this system?

There could be one of two things that cause it -- 1st, check to make sure all the motor leads have good connections to the esc, if one is loose it can cause a spike that trips the BEC or esc temp cut off. 2nd your getting a spike from the jolt the system takes on the landing. Lower punch one or two points. And I have even seen a driver who doubles or triples the servo tape under the esc to cushion it a little more.

Plan on seeing you around at Irh! Also one ?, Do the esc's come with wires other than the + and - or no! On amain it shows the Black Editions with Black wires and reg version with Orange wires????

Thanks for the suggestions. I already double, triple checked the motor leads. Next, I'll add more servo tape under the esc and also lower punch. Will give that a try and see how it responds.

Guys does the vtx10 B.E have an led indicator for LVC? I was driving and then the car started to pulse. It then just stop completely. The normal le were blinking though. I then turned it off and then back on again and nothing. Is this normal?

Some have run the VTX10R and VTX10R-BE with 4-pole sensored motors, but we suggest at least looking at what the motor manufactures recommend. You will see they spec 1/8 scale ESC's for those motors. For some people they work, for some people they don't.

The VTX10 and 10R (both in Red and Black) are spec'd at 1/10th scale applications. But were not spec'd for these motors.

And though 4wd SCT is a 1/10th class, they are actually harder on ESCs and motors due to the fact you are only running 2s. 4s is much more efficient, and thus requires allot less demand.

We have seem amp draws in excess of 240 amps in 4wd SCT

Anyone got a profile setup for a 2wd sc10 with a vtx10 and a 10.5 motor. Running on a high traction large indoor clay track. (mikes in Dallas). Gearing and all would be helpful too. Thanks.

Good to see you are ok Nick. We got pounded here a bit but nothing like the guys at the shore. Tons of trees down and lots of people without power. All in all, I think we were very lucky
