A couple days ago we encountered a copyright issue with the Vtrax series name for our car esc series. This unanticipated issue ultimately results in Viper having to change the esc name for all of our car controllers. The Vtrax series name now ceases to exist.
This undoubtedly will push our release date back a couple weeks, the esc's are all ready to go, but now we have to redo the name, all marketing materials, logos, packaging, and instruction manuals. This occurrence is both timely and untimely. It's terribly unfortunate to push the esc release date back further, but we should all be thankful this issue wasn't encountered after the esc had been released to public hands. Much more would have been at stake in that situation.
Viper would like to open the esc name to a public "contest" - If you have any ideas for a new series name for our car speed controllers please submit your idea(s) to [email protected]. Please include the following information:
-esc name ideas (and any reasoning or additional concepts behind the name is nice to know, too
)
-your complete name
-shipping address
-phone number
Viper realizes and acknowledges how deep of a customer base we have already developed whom are waiting very patiently for the speed controllers. We cant apologize enough for this unforeseen delay and thank you continually for your patience and support. Customer support is our main priority.
I promise I'm more stoked to start selling esc's than all of you are to start running them
Trust me they are coming as fast as possible.
Let the naming discussion begin!

I had the pleasure of running my sample speed control this weekend and I had renamed it (bada$$) before I had even seen the current issue. This is the best I have ever run. You don't realize the hiccups that another brand has until you use something better. Thanks Viper!

Thanks alot. Got in all 3 a's even though I had to bump out of the b in buggy! It was a rough weekend for me. Haha!
I had alot of people asking questions while wearing my viper billboard to! It was pretty cool to be the only person in 327 entries with one of these speed controls.

It would have been more expensive and taken longer to fight it. This is the most efficient and cost effective method to get esc's into customers hands as soon as possible. At the same time we are also making even more revisions to the esc to make it even more user friendly
