Alright-some info about the Viper 8th scale motors

OK-RC Pro Series round 1 EScale buggy
during practice-geared 17/46 with the 1600-Ran for about 5 minutes, came off the track room temp., but had great power and very very very smooth. Mid throttle is when the motor....found itself, and took off though. Was very awkward to drive like that. BUT- it was driveable.

First qualifier-Bumped the Tekin RX8 up to profile 2, 27* of timing. Much better, mid was a lot smoother, and had quite a bit more top end. Came off at 100*. Was thinking about gearing up a hair more, but didnt want to lose the bottom I had.

2nd qualifier-Bumped Tekin to profile 3, not sure WHAT amount of timing it had, but it was more. TONS more power. Mid throttle went back to being touchy, for some reason. BUT-had a lot more top end, and bottom was still very smooth. Came off at 112

3rd qualifier-same as 2nd, didnt change anything.

Main- 2 minute warm up and 8 minute main. Didnt change anything, but came off at 130 after 10 minutes. Motor never felt soft, or gave anything away during the round.




Keep in mind-not 100% sure the exact specifications of the throttle profiles on the RX8, and this RX8 was ancient, so not sure on its....test worthiness..... had my fellow Tekin team driver do that for me

NO ETA-NO ETA-NO ETA....but testing is looking great. So its ON the way!
