At this time, there is no 1/8 scale motors scheduled for production for at least the 1st quarter of 2013.

I just installed a viper vtx 10 black edition esc and viper vst 17.5 motor in my new b4.1wc. Everything has been calibrated and I used the 17.5 spec w/ boost profile. I took the buggy outside and drove for a little less than a minute when the motor started losing power and cutting out. I tried recalibrating the esc and double checked the sensor wire which seems to be ok but none of that helped. Solder joints looked ok so I have no clue what's going on. HELP!!!

disable the motor over heat feature. it might be cutting power because t thinks the motor is to hot.

Well it's not cutting out completely. It's stuttering if that makes sense and like I said before, it's losing power as well.

if it thinks it is over heating it cuts the power back..... sputtering sounds like a sensor cable or sensor board.

I'm so stupid. I forgot, the battery I was using wasn't charged so I guess it hit lvc. So luckily it was a simple fix. Don't judge me lol.
