http://www.viper-rc.com/vtx10_r_be.php - for the VTX10 series

The links are at the bottom of each page. a61 and a55 are the current versions

Well I probably shouldn't have overnighted a PC-Link from AMain so I could try A62 this Saturday in my VTX8... There were two posts in the Tekno thread praising A62..... Probably should have looked here first.

I don't see the A62 on the site. Is this for only Team drivers?

Apparently. Would have been nice if said team drivers were kind enough to divulge that. Esp when talking about remedies to heat problems.....

For those discussing any potential software changes --- none should be made available to the general public before we are ready to release it. We are always looking to make an improvement or try something new -- it doesn't always mean it better -- we need to verify it first. Sometimes it doesn't make a difference so we don't even release it to the public. The most up to date software is located on our website embedded in the VLink program for each speed control.

Cain - we haven't seen any issues specific to a certain motor and certain esc.

One thing of note - we have been seeing a lot of burnt up motors lately. Please remember to monitor your motor temperatures. Especially if you are setting up for a 5 minute race. And then trying to practice for 10-15 minutes. That is when the heat build up becomes important - after the length of your normal race. If you want to run longer, gearing down is the best way.

I need some help setting the viper esc's up to my ko eurus, I am having throttle problems. It seems like really bad cogging, but I am getting it on all four viper esc's in different cars with different motors.

Software improvements are designed to help improve operation - heat issues are related to motor, gearing, drive time.

Only time the software can effect heat is if you tried to run boosted and the settings were not correct. Which would happen on any software.

Ran my brand new B4.2 for the first time yesterday (never ran 2wd buggy but always wanted to) with a Viper VTX10 BE, 8.5 motor, 81/24 gearing. Ran great all night. Even with the snug fitting body with no vents the esc only temped at 104 degrees after a 7 minute main. Impressed yet again with another Viper esc.

What motor is Lee Martin running? I see the viper esc, but its a black motor...
