Viper RC -
#1261
can someone post up the instructions so that I can look at the settings and other adjustments. The website does not describe all functions or list them. This looks like I will be getting one to test out vs my other preferred ESC. But I would like to know what and how to adjust it. Thanks

More deliveries should be arriving any day now - can't wait to see what customers have to say about the new speed controls...

Is there any particular reason why you guys chose to go so high with the timing on the motor? More motor timing equals less boost to be applied when you want it, or so the many hours I've spent reading in the past couple of days points to. Then my next question(s). I've got a vtx10 on the way and I already have a couple of the viper motors, what is the max boost you suggest on these? What is the max boost you will be able to run on a different brand motor?

So, does the VTX10R come with recommendations for setups? I know the ProGauge can do all kinds of groovy stuff...
I'll be dropping it into a XXX-SCT with either a 17T or 13T Viper (I bought both
). The track is SDRC Raceway in San Diego, a brand new indoor clay track with a 130ft straight and a pretty gnarly triple triple
I've got video here:

Thx for any help. Very much looking forward to trying these out!

I'm getting the vtx10r and I'm putting it in my sc10 4x4. I have two questions. When will the viper 550 become available for sale. And until it comes out I plan on running it with a novak ballistic 4.5 550. And my other question is, will I run into any issues running the Novak with the vtx10r. The reason I ask is I run a Tekin rs in my rc10b4 and I always have cogging with the ballistic 540's with it.
It's difficult to release so many new products at once especially with the quickly growing popularity of the VTX esc's!can someone post up the instructions so that I can look at the settings and other adjustments.

a little lower then expected allowing us to (if we want)
gear the same fdr but apply more boost then other motors.
Now Typical for vipers motors (to me anyways)
i gear up a total of 3teeth on the pinion
i went from a phantom ion 1 13.5 to a viper 13.5
gearing for the ion was 26-75 in a b4
gearing for the viper i steped up to 30-75 and didnt change a thing on the esc.
My 8.5 boosted mod class motor is another thing though
its geared 25/78 30* motor timing
12* of accel boost
4000rpm start
20500rpm end
20* of Max advanced timing.
This setup kept up with a 6.5!
Timing dose play a role on boost.. but depending on what class' you run boost wont be needed much and the boost on the vtx is very aggressive and the warning the pro gauge gives you is right on the money!

The VST motor timing is fully adjustable from 15*-45*. When dialing in a boosted setup there are many many tuning options that need to be considered - motor timing, esc timing advance, rpm ranges, gearing, etc.
The VTX boost function creates massive rpm, so gearing down is definitely in order to drop the loading on the motor and allow it to wind out more. Start with profile 3 for 13.5 boosted or profile 4 for 17.5 boosted. We recommend to keep the total timing at or less than 60*. Total timing means motor timing plus esc timing. In the VTX boost function there is an acceleration boost adjustment and top speed timing adjustment. Those timing adjustments are relatively independent of each other, so don't combine them when calculating max timing. For example if you have 30* on the motor, then run 30* max adv acceleration boost, and 30* max adv top speed timing. Hope this helps! Thanks for trying our products!
