Rest assured that we will make the proper announcements when the time is right.

So any lower Kv motors for 6s set ups.

What is the voltage from the VTX10R BE for the fan output? Is it the same as the BEC voltage or different.

I haven't heard anything yet but I can ask. What kv range is optimal for 6s? Just curious because we don't see that much here in my area

1400kv or so on 6S.

Here is a chart that lists what Cell count goes will what motor type, though, some use other cell counts with these motors too (like 4S on 1700Kv motor)

Got a couple of questions about installation of the Pro-6 and Pro-9 caps. Where is the recommended place to attach the leads on Viper ESCs? Also, on non-Viper ESCs how far away from the ESC do you recommend attaching the caps? Thanks.


Anyone have a top view of the Pro9-Cap installed on a Tekno EB48 w/ VTX8?

Thanx

Does viper have a release date for 1/8 motors yet?

Do reverse work with profile 2?

Thanks

Thanks!

Is this a dumb question, is it pretty obvious once I take the motor apart? I havent had a motor apart since the brushed days (late "80's) so I'm really not sure what to expect and I am famous for bunging stuff up.

Any tips/help!?

It's pretty simple. Take the three screws out of the output shaft side of the motor and remove the end of the can on that side. Don't lose the washer and spring on the motor shaft. You should just be able to slide the rotor out at that point. Don't let it touch anything on the way out or it will explode! Just kidding....

You need to set "run mode" to "practice"

so by default I think profiles 4-8 have reverse?

VTX8
 
Just got home from my first nite at the track using a VTX8. :nod:

Temping out again.
 
Well guys it happened again. My VTX8 hit the motor temp cut off in the main and I couldn't finish. This was a problem in my SCTE 2.0 with the VTX8 and a VST4.5XL that I never got solved. Now I have a Tekno SCT410, VTX8 and Tekin Pro4 4600 and still cant finish a main. I started with a 15 pinion and then went to a 14. I'm using profile 3 Brake strength 80%, Brake PWM 9600Hz, Curve linear,Throttle PWM 16000Hz, Punch 50%, Curve linear, Deadband narrow, Motor temp cut off 230 degrees. Early in the day I was seeing 145 degrees then with each pack the temps went up. At the end of the third qualifier the back of the motor temped at 178 degrees and the esc at 140. I have double and tripled checked gear mesh and drive train for drag, everything's good. I have a heatsink on the motor. The motor is new, I have tried 3 different sensor wires, changed servos and am using new SMC 70c 6500mah batteries. ??? What am I missing? Please help.

So I just picked up a VTX10 Black Edition. I got everything wired up, turn it on and the F and S lights flash and I get nothing else. Speedo is unresponsive to anything. What does that mean?

bds81175 09-07-2013 05:09 PM

RapidRC, your setup seems pretty close to mine. I'm running the VTX8 with a Tekin Pro4 4000kV. The only things I see different on our ESC settings are the punch (I'm running 80%) and the brakes (I'm at 100%). What size track are you running on? I can't imagine ever going to a 15 tooth. How long are your mains? What is the ambient temp? How long do you have between qualifiers? Are you getting a lot of wheel spin?
