Hey Nick just got the new BE 5.5 for my d413 to replace the 7.5 orange can.

Should I order the 12.5 or 13 rotor or is 12.3 ok with the 10r for off-road. Run Reedy batteries if that matters.

Just Orderd a viper vtx10r - be and vst be 17.5 as well as an xpert servo for my desc210r. Picked up a 12.5 ht rotor for tuning as well. Excited to run it all friday night! Thanks for the great equipment!

You will be fine with stock rotor, which is a 12.5. I ran 6.5 BE w/10R in a B44.3...ballistic.

With a 5.5, I would say to try it stock first. All the modified motors (below 10.5) come with a 12.5 rotor. There is a High Torque and even an outlaw 13mm rotor available. But try it stock first, see how it feels with the power -- that's a big step up.

Clint that looks killer.

I run the ultimate nano-techs in my buggies but was debating one for my TC.

Digging the look of the all black edition equipment.

Hi guys,

Newbie here...have a question if anyone can help.My viper VTX10 resets after the steering is turn. Is it the servo problem or esc. I am using Team Power servo. Both I bought used. But according to the seller all functioning.

Need advise. Do not have a spare servo to test.

i still see color'd wires you have a mild case of OCD.

very nice. one I wouldn't mind someone make is a inboard lipo that thats a certain bullet for negative, one for positive so you couldn't connect them backwards, that would be cool lol.

What type of receiver? could be what's known as a "brown out". Do you have a glitch buster or RX capacitor?

Basically some servos pull more power than a BEC can supply, at least in spikes. If you turn slowly with wheels off the ground what are the results?

Cain 02-12-2015 08:36 AM

+1

what if you don't have a servo plugged in, any weird issues from the ESC?

When you turn the servo - look at the receiver - see if the light on the receiver changes at all, gets lighter in color, or flashes. The description you give seems like a classic brown out situation.

Cain 02-12-2015 10:35 AM

spektrum has some cheap glitch buster caps you can buy, always nice to have 1 in the pit box just in case to help confirm issues.

Hope you are all digged out there Nick, looking forward to some good news via email!
