I run the 4PL with high speed turned on. It's the slowest of the common radios as far as I know.

The radios that I have personally seen affected:
M11x
M12
4PK
DX3S (or what ever Spektrum's best radio is)
KO's newest radio (the god awful ugly one)

These are the ones that I have seen it affect.

Bob, or nick, I posted that I got a used vtx10r for my b44.2. But it has the older firmware, think A30. Will it be ok to run it with that and be reliable?

It will be reliable but I truly believe that A55 unlocked a ton of power. I would get it updated.

That's an Idea, I'll have to experiment.

cool. Looking forward to hearing what you find.

Tony - the update from a30 to a55 did open up more power to the system and also updated the calibrate settings for better calibration process.

Just wanted to note also - the comments about the new radio's with the "high speed" modes. We have seen different results with different radio and people with this -- seems a bit inconsistent overall right now. Some people have reported an issue and others using the same radio, have no issue. I have seen a few people with other esc's have the same type of questions, with similar situations.

Ultimately, there is no standard for the signal, its range and how it calibrates between the radio and receiver. Every radio company has things that are similar and little different. Its sometimes amazing that all these different systems "talk" to each other at all. But we are always watching what is going on in case we need to adjust anything on our end.

My VTX8/4.5 are in the shop... So running my back up system. Copperhead-R w/ 5150 KV. I've seemed to loose my cheat sheet/ Setup sheet for it. I'm going to be running a big open track Saturday. So was thinking profile #5, (MIP Ten-SCTE) but what should I run for gearing? I have the 39T MIP Spur installed. Looking for a pinion starting point.

spider - maybe 13 or 14, start with 13 -- if its a big track using this is probably better than the 2 pole motor anyway!!

I just picked up a vtx8 with a61 software on it. What settings would be good for a 8th scale running a 1900kv tekin motor on a medium sized high bite track?

Profile 1, stock settings, change brake settings to suit your style (i.e. if you want harder brake feeling). This is the way I set mind up to start, then adjust a little as you feel you need.

Ok bob you are right. Ran my 44.2 yesterday and yes it was a little slow. Doesnt viper make a pc link that will change it to A55? Really do not wanna send it in and be with out it for a few weeks.

Hey Tony - I have the PC Link...send me a PM with your address and I will send it to you...just send it back when you're done...maybe toss in a couple bucks to cover my shipping.

Ok I finally put my order in for the 1/8 esc and motor for my e buggy. Cant wait to get it installed for indoor racing this year.

is it normal for throttle to cut off for like 1-2 seconds after a hard crash?

well went to LCRC this weekend and had 2 ecs issues one with my boys and one with mine. His was in his buggy it acted like it lost conection with the Reciever steering very slow and then nothing. running a futaba 3pl tried new reciever and new servo still the same.

Mine was got steering but no motor.. tried 2 other motors that i know worked and still nothing.
