I had issues with both of my new vtx10rbe esc's. Both seemed to glitch when applying throttle. It was an intermittent problem, because you could unplug and plug back in and it worked fine. But not every time. We rebound and rebound, switched models, changed to middle deadband reduced power, changed sensor wires, motors etc etc as i was scrambling through the viper website for help.This is on 2 seperate 4 wheel 10th scale cars yesterday at the proline race with 2 new viper esc's. Same problem. At this point Im gonna have to say my race day was pretty much ruined on a 4 1/2 hour away race. Not happy viper!!!

You said it was intermittent. Did it work for a say, a pack? then you switched off/on and it stopped working ?

Is my VTX10R BE sensored brushless system with VST4.5 (VIPER10RBE04)
System going to be more powerful than the
Copperhead-R ESC & VX4R.51 4-Pole 550 Sensorless Brushless Motor Combo (5150kV)
I have in my other TEN-SCTE now!!! (Have three!)
Or just smoother ???

Maxx - the Copperhead(4 pole) will have more power, cause more wheel spin and be more punchy off the start. The VST (2 pole sensored), will be a lot smoother throttle application, less wheel spin, slighting more RPM (when geared right). And little easier to driver with because the wheels won't be spinning all over the place.
Which is faster? Depends on track, driving style, tires, layout.... hard to say, you may bet to the same place at the same time.
Jamison - check before you run that the solid green neutral light is on when sitting still. I run a Futaba 4pks also and have found that on certain models I need to more the throttle trim to 3-4 to get a accurate calibration. Also check your connection with the radio, I forget the code, but C2 (or something similar) was wrong -- its a Futaba thing for the signal to the receivers.
Thanks Toby!!!!

Im using the spektrum DX3c with my copperhead systems.
I have yet to find a single issue. Had no trouble getting them on profile 5.
It's a bummer the savox servos are getting to be a problem with the Viper speed controls.
I had high intentions on getting a couple savox servos. Maybe I'll stick with Futaba.
