I'm getting my son a 2 wd sc and want something cheap in price but good and this sounds like its the right setup

Yes, definitely.

ive been using the 4500kv setup in my slash 4x4 for over a year. its been good. hard to beat it

I'm looking at the 3900 kv 540 4pole

I have a coppethead-r 550 4pole system for my durango desc410r. I was wondering what pinion I should start with?

Dan...Jerry Durst that comes to Rt281 from Friendsville has one of those in his sc10 2wd and he loves it

chris - sorry I don't know Durango gear ratios. If you have a 4500kv gear same as anyone with a Tekin 4600. If you have the 5150, go down 1 or 2 teeth.

some guy - with a 6 pole motor, might have to drop it a little more, that 6 pole will generate some amp draw, and it pulls the battery down to LVC for split second

Does anyone know what the smaller plug on the pro gauge wire is called? One of the pins is messed up in mine and I don't know what to look for to find a replacement.

contact viper for a replacement. I doubt you will find that connector on ebay

you talking about this wire.

that is what he is looking for

Perfect. Thank you!

I searched quite a bit for it before posting but never included v port in my searches.

Cool thx Brian

Hi again,
So I tried several combinations of the suggestions I received. I change the esc setting to profile #3. Then I reduced the transmitter signal to 16.5 ms.
I ran for two afternoons going over a jump and running in grass in direct sun with a temp sensor and the body on it. Had no problems till the second day...
after jumping ten foot or so with no problems, I slowly ran over a stick laying in the yard. It was about an 1 1/2" in diameter. The esc shut down as described.
I had steering but no throttle. The f and r leds were flashing rapidly. The temps were 122 on the motor and 107 on the speed control. After letting it set for 15 seconds or so, it actually did reset itself. Do I need to exchange this? And are the ones you receive refurbished or new?
Thanks

My copperhead-r does this as well. I did not read the temps and while the f and r leds were flashing but the n was solid. I let it sit for 3 min and it runs, but the problem reoccurs. What gives?
