New motors look cool.

Just to confirm, the new motors warranties are now 120 days instead of 180 days or is that a typo?

I am selling off my old motors now to get some of the BE goodness. I need a 17.5, 8.5, and a 6.5

From the pics. It looks like timing will go up to 50 deg..which the stock guys can play with.
Nick any info on what size rotors they will come with?

6.5 & 8.5 ordered.:D

I haven't heard of a new 550 SC motor coming out, maybe I'm wrong.

Aah, I see. IIRC we discussed that topic in an e-mail conversation before. :)

Well????

I have a question about upgrading to the A64 firmware. When I upgrade will I lose my previous settings? Sorry if this has been answered already. Im just getting back into RC after taking a break for a few years.

everything is set back to factory settings. check the release notes on the download page to see the profiles

sorry boborc, missed that one

Front bearing is 5mm x 13mm x 4mm
top bearing is standard motor bearing - 1/8" x 3/8" x 5/32"

Nothing different on the 4 pole SC front - VF4s have been strong and running well.

New 8.5 did great for me today on a loose indoor medium/large sized track. Geared 18/86 in a Team C TS2 2wd sc. Copperhead Hobbies & Raceway in Waynesville MO.

Mod motors come with 12.5, Spec (stock) motors with 12.3

Option 12.5 rotors for rpm/torque, torque and high torque will be available for spec/stock motors.

Option 12.5 rpm, torque and 13.0 outlaw rotor for modified motors.

Thanks is the VST 550 the same bearings as the VF 4 poles

as soon as I put my cash from selling my old motors in the bank, I will be off to getting my 3 new motors this week. This makes me happy.

Any idea when Large shirts will be back in stock?

Thanks. I just copied down my settings so no worry.

After I upgrade my firmware ide like to try some boost. On vipers page they say you need to know what your doing to avoid damage. I seen the formulas for the start and end rpm but looking for some pointers on where I should start with boost. I have a 8.5t viper vtx combo in a sc10. Need to double check my gearing though.
