aww, I wish the vtx10 went to 8v. After the drop in the system, I think I am showing 6.7 volts at the servo.

Nikos2002 your honesty is much appreciated, I will more then likely wait till the new viper motors come out

There is always a little drop that registers through the system when you measure at the servo - to many wires and everything for the voltage to go through.

pro tech tip for the day.....

For 2wd mod buggy, try the 12.0 and 12.3 rotors. They offer a different power band than the std 12.5. If you are running on high bite and want more grunt, try the 12.8 rotor.

I just run the big block motors and limit forward power and punch

I've been wanting to try the 12.8 in my mod truck. Big difference?
(:

Also how were the 12.3 and 12.0 vs the 12.5?

Paul Sinclair raves about the 12.8 in everything. Fred Perkins was using it too based off his suggestion and said it was very good. I prefer the 12.3 power band.

The 12.3 and 12.0 change the power band. They take away some of the low end and add high end.

Ok kool
Gonna try the 12.8's

I convinced a local fast guy to put a Viper VTX10R BE in his 4wd 1/10. After I explained/showed him all the features, he was sold.....

Now to get Viper into the rest of his fleet.

Viper have any plans to make a "Just Stock" style ESC that would be USVTA legal?

What's funny is that in some parts of the country people use our esc's in USVTA events in blinky mode, which is all that it really is. I understand the "just stock" idea, but its more extreme measure - that you have to make a special speed control to avoid people cheating. BTW, all that is needed is a software loaded into it that would change it regardless.

Long story is right now no. Our speed control has a very distinctive blinky mode and indicator. It doesn't play tricks, its a different color than forward, brake or power lights - so no tricks. We want to sell you a speedo that will last you a long time and be able to used across multiple racing platforms.

from what I am understanding, for USVTA that have a set list of escs that they have tested for parity. in ROAR VTA its blinky or other. From what some have said doing this, they have seen a performance boost, maybe do to lower resistance or power output of the higher end escs even in blinky?

anyone have any boosting advice or in sites? I am not talking about monitor temps and blah blah. More like advanced stuff. Here have been my observations. I normally run 1/2 the advanced timing as I do boost. So 30 deg boost and 15deg advanced timing. I often try to set my start rpm low, at like 2k. So I can get more power at low rpm's coming out of a 180 into a triple, etc. I normally leave the top rpm at 12k for 13.5 and 17.5 boosting. As of late, I am playing with mixing motor and esc timing. Why? Well motor timing is ALWAYS there. Where as, esc timing kicks at a given rpm and ramps up. I feel you can mix them to get more performance for temperature. So, recently I tried this with a reedy. motor and viper esc. they ship with 20deg timing and are often raced with 35-40 on the car. So I went to 30 on the can and then 2k start 12k, with 15 deg timing and 5 deg advanced timing. with a slew of 4. Perfornace was fine and it felt pretty smooth, but even a few degrees of motor timing with added esc timing, make heat pretty quick. I make small changes and check temps often while testing. Anyway, this is something i am messing with in practice. Any thoughts on a better way to approach it.?

I just purchased a VIP6VSVT10R06 for my used 44 associated buggy. some help on settings with pin and elect settings would be a great help if any one wants to chime in.. small track in Kingman Az. Thanks any one in advance.
