My vtx8 will not work with the high speed or advanced setting on my eurus. I have been running a64 on it since I got it. Guess it was a team driver I got it from. I will try reflashing it and using it again

ok that's good feedback. I should mention that I tested with the VTX10 and VTX10 BE. Neither were 'R' versions. The VTX8 is a different firmware. Keep the info coming!

Will the Vtx10 black edition run Reedy motors?

Bob, What are the issues with the firmware that people are having? does high speed mode have anything to do with frame rate on the radio?

here's my settings:

17.5 buggy (blinky)
5000 mhz throttle pwm
100% punch
dead band medium
linear throttle curve
800 mhz brake pwm
67% brakes esc / 75% radio (this only works with 800mhz. If I don't run 800mhz, I feel like I have no brakes with this setting)
12% drag brake

17.5 SCT blinky
same as above but usually have to dial in a bit more brakes on the radio and esc 70% esc and 80% on radio.

2wd mod buggy (8.5 or 9.5 usually)
9600 mhz throttle pwm
80% punch
dead band medium
linear throttle curve
800 mhz brake pwm
67% brakes esc / 75% radio (this only works with 800mhz. If I don't run 800mhz, I feel like I have no brakes with this setting)
12% drag brake

If the grip is down, I will raise my forward PWM until I get it smooth enough for my liking. I adjust that first and Punch second because I feel punch is a much bigger adjustment. I would rather leave it set

Hello guys.
So I have a VTX10 esc with your 8.5 turn on my Losi 22-4.
I use the ez link to adjust the brake power to 100%
With this setting while the brakes are fully applied I can roll the car forward.
What other adjustment am I missing to get 'skidding' brakes ?
Do I need to use expo on the transmitter ?

Thanks.
Tom

you can lock up the wheels from full speed. or are you referring from a stand still, you push the car and it wont lock up. Also, a vtx10 with an 8.5 in a 22-4 seems very very borderline.

With brake power set @100%.
I can push the car forward with the brakes fully on. (Throttle pushed all the way to brake).

sorry, guys was too busy at the office yesterday to get on here - thanks to those whose answered questions.

-- yes, a64 was designed and tested with high speed settings on the major radio brands. In the past we have received 2-3 comments from people with that version of the KO radio, while others report no issue. The high speed setting (or setting it to "lower speed"), doesn't effect the overall operation of a speed control, it will still react with great, quick, smooth reactions. As Bob had mentioned previously, check a different model on the radio to see if you get a similar experience. As sometimes different models can vary on signal.

- Brakes, stopping power. I think with what Tom is looking for, that is determined more by the motor and the magnet power it creates. The speed control can tell the motor to stay locked on brakes, but the magnetic field of the motor might not "hold" the car when you push it.
