I got to see Chase Armstrong's non-boosted viper 17.5 run outdoors yesterday and that thing is STUPID fast.

ran my viper 17.5 this weekend,and didn't see anything different than i had with my novak,gunna run it at a local morl event this coming weekend on the dirt maybe all this power that everyone is talking about will show up then:eek:don't know what else to do to this thing to make it faster,i think im gunna get my butt kicked!...lol

You don't gear this motor the same as others. It's a very torquey motors, so gear up and you will see it

Billy Fischer ran 4x4 SCT at the Cactus Classic (100+* track temps) with a VTX10R and VST 4.5XL 550 motor geared with a 12t pinion. The temps equipment temps were never an issue even without fans in the highest level competition. It should work great for you :tire:

Thanks. I hope the esc's arrive ahead of the April 21st ETA cuz I'm not liking the bulky MMP in the tight confines of the DESC410R.

Are the 4.5txl 550s out yet?

Not yet, they're coming as fast as possible but are still several weeks out. It takes time to bring a new product to the market. Please be patient. Thanks!

Oh, for anyone else who asks on this page...

no the 8th scale gear isnt out yet either

Viper had a good showing this weekend in oval at the rc race barn in Jeff city , MO. Turnout was lite but the competition was tough. All three viper drivers kept swapping the fastest times of the day in mod sprint. Two of us had a great race in Late model as well, everything ran smooth and had plenty of power.

I must say that the speed control I borrowed is not nearly as smooth as my viper. :D

DLewis - how did you and Mike do on Saturday? Good talking to you......

Can you give a starting fdr for sc with the 17.5 then?? Indoor 70' straight, med to high traction, and outdoor 100' straight low traction. Currently running on RS Pro speedo, allowed to run boost. Seriously thinking about getting a VTX10 to try.

Any info on the 550's? Turns and kv's that will be available?

What truck Tril? I am sorry, dont know the FDR's for the trucks... just basic gearing...

The VTX10 is a very competitive speedo. I LOVE mine and i switched from Tekin. Can pre-order here:

Nick-did ok. The 8th scale motor I was running is an indoor motor... and it worked ok for outside, but... i need a hair bigger if i want to keep up. Cars were both great though.

Still debating on what we talked about.... just a lot of money tied up in wat I already have.

Initially we will offer 4.5XL (4100kv) and 5.5XL (3500kv) turn options. Possibly more options available in the future :)

Congratulations to Team Viper driver Sergio Rodriguez for his A-main 10th place finish in the 2wd modified class at the 2011 Spanish Offroad Nationals! Sergio ran a VTX10 and VST 7.5 combo. More Viper drivers continue to lay it down at the highest level :)
