I'm not sure what the length is, but 200 should be a safe length.
|
Must common size for sensor wires is 200mm.
|
Due to the long layout on the SCTE 2.0 I had to purchase a viper 280mm sensor wire.

With Lipos lasting a long time, they are outlasting the Deans connector. |
Took first place at the Turf vs. Dirt Shootout in Foley Minnesota at the 510 raceway running a VTX8 powered Losi SCTE. There weren't many entrants in 4x4 short course and my main competition at this track dropped out fairly early but the truck was awesome and the ESC supplied effortless tsunami's of power. Installation and setup were a snap and my initial settings were spot on. I think I may have sold a Progauge too as I showed a fellow racer with a Copperhead system how easy it is to program with. Don't forget to get a Progauge, folks. They are awesome!

Another team driver and myself both had a similar thing happen. Both of us found it to be a bad Deans connector. After switching out the bad deans the issue went away.

Also check your sensor cable, it can cause this type of issue and get progressively worse until it just won't go.

Ah cool, don't know much about the other Viper systems off the top of my head. Still, gotta watch those sensor cables, I have a feeling they don't like being pulled out.

Viper design engineers...you would be an even bigger fan of mine if you would develop an integrated power/sensor cable to run between ESC and motor. I have no idea how our hobby has managed to get this far with the chintzy little sensor wires dangling out of the back end of the motor but something substantially more robust would be sweet!

probably had a voltage spike from the hard hit. these 4 pole motors we all use now a days put a big strain on the system and it can happen. Sometimes lowering settings like Punch, battery type (how old it is), motor efficiency - are all things that can help contribute it that happening. If it was a more series issue it would happen constantly - like every jump.
the 2nd time it happened where it lasted for like 20 seconds there was no hard hit. it happened in a long switch back. |

I have a new Platinum Slash 4x4 (LCG, GTR etc.) That I have been running on backyard and outdoor tracks. Just for fun not competitive racing. I was looking at getting the
Viper R/C Copperhead-R ESC & VX4R.45 4-Pole 550 Sensorless Brushless Motor Combo (4500kV) any thoughts on the combo? I am sure it will be a power increase over the stock Traxxas VXL system :) I just upgrades the driveline ahead of time lol |

Mind if I ask what KV motor you use and your gearing ? Need to know what pinions to order.
Thanks in advance !! |
