FWIW - the term "Punch Control" and "Current Limiter" function the same in regards to ESC function. It reduces the max amps the esc can push under load. It has been called everything from Punch, to Torque Control, Current, etc...... every ESC manufacturer likes to call it something different

Hey viper guys,
Are the BE motors coming out anytime soon?
I want to get a 10.5 motor to run mod SC at the local track along with my 17.5 SC

are there any youtube videos on how to exactly to use the pro gauge and what each setting actually does? Love the idea of the pro gauge but for us new electric guys it is hard to understand on what all the features do

BE motors went back to the drawing board.
Nice gains, but not everything we wanted. So we are making some changes. When I am allowed to put out a time line I will. But don't underestimate what we already have. VST motors are great little motors, and its a great price for a competition style motor.

first off what firmware does your pro gauge say you are running? If you dont have the a55, you can download it from viper, but you need the PC-Link cable to update the esc.
