hey all. So another weekend at the track. The viper esc is feeling pretty good so far. But I have 2 questions.

1) What is causing me to have ZERO brakes at very low rpm? I was on a slight incline and the sc10 started to roll, so I pushed on the brakes and nothing. I get some braking at higher speeds, but nothing at very low.

2) So my esc is running at like 95deg and my motor is at 159 deg. This is with a 13.5 in my sc10 geared 22/81. It was running at 135 but, my slipped was too lose and I had no snap for 180 into doubles. So I gave the slipper 1 full turn and not the motors is hot by my standards. I am used to 115 deg with boost and turbo.


I am running the stock profile 3 with 10pct drag and 5 slew. Everything else is default. Motor timing is 20 deg. I dunno if this helps but the motor is a reedy sonic. I have owned a few reedys and they always ran cool for me.
