We are currently working to get a64 out to everyone - yes, we are waiting to have it posted on the website. We have been working internally to update units so new ones going out, already have the latest software installed. I am sure there are some distributors or dealers that have stock with the old software, but ideally that will get turned over quickly. Meanwhile we keep updating -- check the pick below -- two VLinks - non stop!!!

Here's something we haven't discussed in a bit....when are the 4x4 short course motors coming out? I've got a Tekin that has seen better days, an orion with stripped endbell screw holes and an old Hobbywing. Outdoor season is just around the corner (I hope...I'm tired of freezing up here) so I need to get a new motor!

UP date first run!!!
Ok I am a little disappointed here. I spent good money on this setup. I was thinking I would have some scorched melted plastic from the friction going through the atmosphere. Yet I was only able to get to warp 8.9. What gives here? I thought for sure I would hit warp 9.0 to 9.5?
OK all joking aside. When you hammer the throttle, this thing fly's!!! I was 3/4 of the way down the straight and had 2 blow overs, to many wheelies to count. OOOHHH so much fun.
This was the first time driving a new truck on a new track. I was messing with the setting as I went. I did have to bring the brakes up to 90% and reverse to 80%.
I was watching the temps all night long. Highest was 126 degrees after about 40 minutes of run time. First time draining a 5000mah battery at the track. Used to breaking something before pack is empty.
So, with temps in the 120 to 130's, can I go up a tooth or two on the pinion? I did so many 360's from to much throttle. Hard to keep the tires planted. I am running new Bar Codes, gold with a coat of Monkey Spunk tire sauce. Still had a hard time keeping the rear tires from spinning.

I run my 17.5t up to about 150 and my mod motors are closer to 100-110.
Also what vehicle is it? I may be able to offer some help as to what settings you can change to make it even better.

The wheelies came from me hitting the throttle and any bump I hit at the wrong time. It happened the most just after the track was watered. I had a lot better traction. As the track dried out, I started to do 360's.
I have a LOT to learn. I am not racing in any club, just me and my brother running around the SDRC track having tons of fun. I did notice a after my brother bought some of the tire sauce, I was able to keep the truck planted better.
I have a lot of suspension tuning to do after this first run. That will help a lot too. I did notice after the 3rd battery, 3 hours on the track, I was doing a lot better keeping the power of this monster under control. Also going from a 4x4 to the 2wd SC10.2, is a huge change in how you drive.
I am running a 9.5T, punch is at 60%, practice mode, brakes at 90%, reverse at 80%, the rest is default settings.
We had so much fun. We are sore from laughing at each others very very poor driving skills. This is SOOOOO worth the fun we have.

Are you guys using the same settings as you did for the a55 firmware? I changed profile #1 on my vtx10 with a64 to be just like my a55 was. I see you guys are still turning on the dynamic braking by default. I thought for off-road that was considered to be not great? Bu the off-road profiles have it.

Having huge issues with my ESC shutting down. Tried everything suggested. Would love to send it back, but unable to locate receipt from large purchase I made when I bought the buggy it was in back in December. Is there something I can still do to send it back for a fix?
Already purchased another ESC, but would like my $200 spent on this one to work for another rc if possible.
