never mine i just noticed it's a copperhead....

^^^ heard a guy say that at the track one time trying to figure out what just smoked him down the back stretch!!! :cool:

preach. love my copperhead

Ok I'll be putting together a Losi 22T and looks like I'll be running a 8.5t motor in it. I have a VTX10 BE sitting on my bench I could use or I could pull the VTX10R from my son's XXX-SCT and put the BE there...that truck runs a 17.5t I know SCTs and wheelers, due to their weight/drivetrain, push the ESC a bit more than a buggy but what about a ST?

Am I plenty safe with the VTX10 BE and the 8.5t in the 22t?

You'll be fine man

No problem. I am actually using a VTX1 with a 8.5 in my ST.

Great thanks.

Well I learned a lot at the track. It was a frustrating day trying to get the truck to handle. It would slip and slide at the slightest throttle and trying to get it through the turn was no fun.

I was sitting in the pits, changing tires with my brother. I was thinking about everything and thought about the punch lvl I was running. Well I was at 90%, thought I was at 80%. I dropped it to 10%. WOW what a difference. It sort of gradually took off from the corners. I was able to keep the rear end from spinning. Yet it took a while to get going. Sort of like Grandma power level. So I raised the punch to 35%. That worked better, but still a little slow. I did not get a chance to try anything else. Brother truck had a motor melt down so we called it a day.


Buzz.

Im running the copperhead r5150 combo in my scte. I love it but ive run into trouble. Ive been fighting an overheating error with the esc. I narrowed it down to the cooling fan taking a crap. I installed a novak fan on it this morning. Truck ran great in first qualifier. Went to the pits to adjust some braking. I saved and loaded profile, then unhooked my proguage. Now the esc just has a blinking green led. It wont respond. I have to unhook the battery to turn the truck off. The esc doesnt chime or boot up like normal. I tried to rebind the receiver and makes no change. Viper doesnt mention what error is occuring. The system is only a month old and i fear that now i have tried to fix the fan issue myself, that i will have trouble with warranty. I have also eliminated the shotty birdcage bullets from motor to esc and soldered them permenant. If my warranty is void from these changes, i will look into another company to power my other two trucks.

Contact nikos2002. He should be able to help diagnose your problem. I'm not a Viper employee or sponsored driver or anything. They (in particular nikos) have been great to me and everyone else I have talked to.

+1 to this.

Try to recalibrate the esc. That has worked for me in the past

How do i recalibrate, the esc doesnt respond to anything i do? If i hook up the battery and try to turn on the esc, it just has a blinking green light. Ive tried pushing the power button, holding it for 3 seconds, 5 seconds, a minute, etc. It wont allow me to recalibrate or enter programming mode. I have to unhook the battery to shut the truck down.

Hey, does anybody know if viper is currently working on Android app that would work instead of along the progauge with the PC link, like the one that Tekin has?
