The BEC voltage is adjustable in 0.1v increments from 5.0-7.0v. Changing the voltage will change the servo amp draw, higher voltage=lower current draw, lower voltage=higher current draw.

Sorry we haven't been able to sort out the cogging issues with your MMP yet John. After inspecting your motor and having it check out perfectly I reached out to all my drivers to see if any of them may be able to help us with the MMP settings. I know we have had drivers testing the VSE 1/8 motors on the MMP with good results, and that uses the same sensor unit.
One thing I noticed was that you were using small gauge wire, either 16 or 14ga, it looked like 16ga to me. I suppose this small of wire in a heavy truck with a modified motor could pose problems. Also please make sure there is ZERO timing added in the esc settings. We may try reducing the end cap timing as well. Thanks for your patience while we sort out this unusual problem

SO When will we know the pricing and actual release date for the 1/10 esc's just waiting to see how competitive the pricing is before I make a decison between this and a Tekin.

Or has anyone reviewed them yet?

Is there going to be a 3 piece combo? Motor, esc, pro-gauge. When? Need to pull the trigger on something here pretty quick.

just so you know.. The pro gauge is included with the esc.

So a Combo would actually be a 3 piece.

You have a PM The first shipment of VTX10 and VTX10R's will arrive mid April.

The first shipment will have both the esc/ProGauge combos and the esc 'lite' version without the ProGauge. We will have motor/esc/ProGauge combos available several weeks after the initial shipment of escs.

There is an industry standard for sensor compatibility and design which is why sensor wires work across any esc/motor combination. There should be no problem using the VST motors on any Novak esc's. Any compatibility issues people have experienced with the VST motors and other brand esc's are likely due to a setting error or some issue with that particular esc. I do not have personal experience with the Havoc Pro however, so hopefully someone can chime in and give you a more concrete answer.

Just wanted to show off my Viper powered ECO...






This will be the only Viper powered vehicle I run during the outdoor season... unless I pick up a 4x4SC
