Like that b4 above, I just chopped the plastic battery strap. Didn't have to chop much, my vtx10 was mounted sideways too and I just had to clear the caps.

Well i have soldered my wires to a horizontal angle instead of vertical so now it fits without having to cut down my strap will put a photo on tonight. does soldering the wires to a different angle void the warranty?

365 day warranty. I have not had to use it yet, but everyone that has come on here seems to have walked away happy.

well soldering it on is not rocket science, so I am sure you did that well. you can post a picture of the replaced cap and just get confirmation on the install. But i think you said its under warranty, so I would start the RMA process if its doa.

I forgot about that LOL. I did undo all the solder leads and stand them up vertical.

I'm looking to buy a new sensored ESC and motor for 4x4 SCT racing. ( running budget sensorless stuff currently )

Will the VTX8 pair well with a tekin pro 4 motor?

Or does viper have a 4 pole sensored motor for 1/10 sct racing? ( I'm not seeing one )

Not yet

BTW, what are you trying to fit it in, should be fitting about everywhere.

1/10 Traxxas Rally, converted to a Slash 4x4..so basically the new LCG Slash.

I did some measuring I can make it fit.

I'm going to order the VTX8 tomorrow. pairing it with a Tekin Pro 4 4000kv. Shouldnt be a problem as the Pro 4 is about 10mm shorter than the can I currently have in there.
