gigasipke - yes, its loud - like a 8 cylinder Corvette racing at LeMans with all those high pitch turbos. It is noise at low rpms and a bit higher pitch at higher rpms.

VTX8's - should be back in stock any day now, I am not at the office yet this week, but they were due Friday or Today. Might take a day or two to process.

Graveyard - its getting a voltage spike from somewhere and the system is going into a protection mode. We have seen that the bullet connectors can come loose - causing an arc, that tricks the esc into thinking there is spike - that is why checking those was suggested. You can also lower Punch and Timing settings slightly, as that lessens the total amp draw.

gelshocker - yes, Bob had the story right, disgruntled employee who was not happy leaving, even though it was his choice - weird. But anyway, thread has been to popular and too much information to think about closing it down or changing it. We like that our info is here -- not on three or four different threads like others.

spider - yes - both me and Smyka ran VTX1's with 21.5's in F1 at Snowbirds in the A Main! Of course he TQ'd and won, I was 4th. But I also made the F1 A Main at IIC with that combo
