what about black edition 540 motors?
i remember hearing you went back to the drawing board, but still keeping my ears open.

Yes the 3900, 4k and 5k combo.

This is more of an issue of waiting to see what happens with ROAR. Don't want to design a new motor and find out the rules changed.

With the Copperhead sale- it started March 1st.

lol, sales always make me think a new product is coming out. lol. I must not be a very trusting person, lol.

Just figure everyone is getting tax checks, weather is getting better (as I prepare for 4 inches of snow where I live), people are starting to plan for outside.... hit'em when you can!!!!!!

We always have new products we are working on ..... some longer than others.

Got a problem with my VTX thats a 1 1/2 old, 2 laps into the a main it just shut off, no power. Tried different battery and no response at all. Thinking it might be the capacitor but any input would be greatly appreciated

Sorry to hear something happen. If it doesn't power on and all the connections and battery are good, capacitor is next on the list. The way our circuit is drawn it needs that capacitor to operate. You can purchase a replacement here on our site:http://www.shopviperrc.com/ProductDe...ode=6VSPCAP004

Or if you like you can fill out an RMA and send it to us, we can let you know what we find.

i just wonder that anyone have try a vtx8 esc with novak 1/8 motor ?

Alright guys I made a pact to get my 4wd Sc10 running first.
So im buying the copperhead 4500kv 550 system next pay day.
I still wont race my other copperhead 540 powered R/C til tomorrow.:D

Its late so maybe I'm tired but how do you adjust timing on these motors? I am using the vst series.

Anyone running the viper 4.5 550 motor with a vtx10r in an scte? What gearing are you using?

Hey guys just a bit of a query... What is the highest temp everyone has been running the vst motors?? Windings and rotor can hold what temp after a 5 min run and say a 10 min run?? I know there is so many variables but the mechanical limit inside the can has a limit so I have been setting the temp cut off at 180 F is that to conservative????

The esc is set to 220F and going no where near that just the motor cut out in a 10min main today and it was set at 180F so can anyone shed some light please :)

Thanks for your help everyone

I had set mine to 180 too but with the internal motor temp being read on the ESC you lose quite a few degrees to the external temp. I would imagine all motors are going to be different but if you use the 220 stock setting I think you are going to end up with an external temp of around 180. I've only hit that once during a race and I didn't have an opportunity to temp it right away so I can't guarantee that.

With the motor temp cut off at 220, mine cut off and outside motor temp was 160.

Yeah for sure.. I understand that its about 30 to 40F in difference but can the internals of the motor handle 220F on the inside of the can?
As when my firmware and software was new the default setting for the motor temp was 160F and the ESC was 220F.

Cheers for your help
