When you say "boost" are you referring to endbell timing? Or is that "boost" in reference to the ESC?

I have been thinking of trying a VTX8, are the boost and punch settings the same as the VTX10R BE?

Motors are still in development / testing. When they are available we won't keep it to ourselves ;)

Bob you have one of these motors in testing? Id like to see it if I could just curious. Ill have to catch up with you at the Hut some time. Id also would like to see how the set up box looks and how easy it is to hook up.

Thanks, not needed now my VTX8 showed up today. So i have the hardcopy. I was just wanting to glance at it before it arrived.

Got everything wired up in what used to be my Traxxas Rally.. its now my 4x4 SCT race truck.
VTX8 is HUGE! very nice though. I got it to fit with the pro4 without much troubles.. 550 can might be a bit tight without removing the waterproof RX box. whatever.

EDIT: Profile 3 is the one I want right? for 4 pole tekin pro 4 on 2s?

Looks awesome setup was simple( i have vtxr 17.5 so it all works the same mostly )..going to go play with it on the track this weekend.

no, not yet. But when I do and I'm told we are clear to talk about it, you can believe I will :lol:

KTM - nice job with the set up!! Yes Profile 3 is where you want to start, maybe turn punch down to 60 to start. Just be careful of the gearing at first until you know where its at temp wise -- not a big fan of that motor.......

On that note I will be politically correct and say that we had some really good results with some testing over the last couple could days and have some stuff that is moving in the right direction.

And Bob was right---- we are going to let everyone know what its available.

To answer an earlier question, the VTX8 software set up is very similar to the VTX10 series. With added control for motor poles and rotation.

Thanks I will mess with the punch. seems like it defaults to 80% in profile 3?

I'm starting with a 13tooth pinion and stock 54 spur.

Before installing this I was using a Sensorless Toro 4600KV setup with same pinion and never broke a sweat in temp and had way more power than i needed. I just felt like trying sensored out hah :)

"Not a fan of that motor" What other 4 pole sensored motors is there? I'm not seeing any if you guys had one I would have got one lol.

I got my son 2 viper VTX10 systems one for his sc10 and one for his B4.1 this is the setup he's been running in his B4.1 he's won 3 races and got second in like 3 since we put the viper system in so its workin well the motor and esc temps are really good like 130 on ecs and 90-95 on the motor but i just wanted to get some input on weather they may be some changes to just make it that much better lol. we love the viper systems and it's helped his control alot

It would be nice if they had some baseline setups form there team drivers.
like tekin has.
Would be good for newer guys that dont have alot of time for testing.

yeah a few good baseline setups would be nice but that would be tough. alot of things make a diffrence in setup. like we are running a very small tight track with very small jumps and very smooth surface and med grip. Ive found some help from the guys at the track but none of them run viper lol so they dont understand everything about the viper system. My son and I are kinda being the testers for the viper at our tracks lol. got a few guys thinkin they might get them too now so that will help with findin good setups

ehh, my fault.... I should be more active in relaying stuff.

If you need help with VTX10 based stuff in 2wd mod / stock or 2wd SCT in mod / stock, let me know and I'll link my setup sheets. Just please send me a PM so I don't forget. Work's been crazy lately so by the time I get home, my brain is mush :D

If you need help with another setup, you can message me too and I'll check with the rest of the team for feedback

and I know Nick has been working on getting this onto the website but that's still a work in progress.

thanks for the reply i really like the Vipervtx10 just got to get them figured out alittle more.
