I have a viper vtx10 I bought from a member here a few months ago and had never used it , so I go to try to put it in my car and wen I turn the esc on it just keeps beeping wont got to calibration mode like the instruction say by holding the button , any ideas? or do I just have a paperweight

It's possible you'll need to rebind the receiver. Or check that your throttle trim is set to neutral

I checked trim its at neutral and tried rebinding steering works but that's it

I'd try looking at the manual but I can't find it online. Does yours have any diagnostic tips like beep codes?

Otherwise maybe you could try hooking it up to a program card if you have/can find one and update it's firmware, but it may be a bit difficult to find the updates.

I'd also try resoldering as a last resort.

you can try posting in this thread below. It's been inactive for a while but someone might have a better answer there too.

programming guide

instruction sheet

not sure if you have these but I'll post em up anyways, good luck

Try very lightly moving the trigger forward and back. It sounds like the ESC can't find neutral.

thanks I got it now , I wasn't pressing the button quick enough after startup lol
