will do thanks mate

i will be waiting for the realease of the 550 size as well once i get my Losi 4x4 in the next month , i believe the 550's will be out by then

i am pretty sure the 540 7.5T will be ok in my hyper 4x4 until the losi is back in stock

going to run with a 14t pinon and watch the temps as our indoor track is not big so i hope i will be fine as no shops over here stock the mod 1 pinons

What exactly is slew rate and how does that affect bottom end and top end timing? I love this system!! Finally got a chance to play with some settings outside today.

Did you calibrate your transmitter yet? If you have synced your transmitter, then you need to push power button again after you see red and green. Push button and all LEDs will be red, that is programming mode. Only then can you use the progauge. Make sure you hit ok for link device on progauge then you can change settings.

Im kind of confused on the gearing in a sc10. i have a novak gtb with the 8.5 viper motor and run 20/87. on most of the setup sheet from ae the team drivers are running 87 spur gears but most of what i read us regular racers are running a 84 spur gear. on comeseethis gearing chart it shows that 20/84 would be a good starting point with a 8.5 motor. so after reading way too much and confusing myself, im looking for a little guidance on what works good and keeps temps down.

or should I stick with another Rx8?

The VTX10R can as I believe you are referring to the 6.5 or 7.5 novak 550. It should be able to handle that no problem.

The VTX10R can run up to 17V/ 2S-4S Li-Po and is recommended up to 550/No Motor Limit. But for a Hyper I personally can't see anything bigger than a 4.5T or it would be undrivable IMO.

The VTX10 can run up to 17V/ 2S-4S Li-Po and is recommended up to a 540/6.5T Motor
Hope this helps and the Viper set-up will definetly make that Hyper Fly!!!!!
But for the big bot motors for 4X4 you should go with the VTX10R!

No my hyper on 14.8v does not go faster than my buddies racing 7.4v with a 4.5t 550 motor...

Its just much more efficient

VTX10R will handle a 550 9.5t can? is it sensored also?

Is there a viper motor that can be put into the Losi SCTE 4x4? If not is there one that will be coming out anytime in the near future.
