I thought a glitch buster was not needed with the Viper?

Yeah I mess up on the calibration I got the settings right now worked on my TT I screwed it up..but now back to the viper set up my servo is now calibrated and not going crazy..still having problems motor won't turn lights working fine all wires are right..something is wrong with it..most likely the motor because the esc works fine not that I'm 100% sure of..

Can I test out my mamba motor on the esc even thoe it's not a sensored motor? I want to make sure it's the viper motor or the viper esc..not sure if it's a good idea to put a non sensor motor on a sensor esc might damage both of them..

Thanks

Default all wires?

I had the same problem when I set up mine and I hadn't all the wires correct, except I didn't plug in the sensor wire from the esc to the motor. All lights were responding and no turn of the motor, sounds familiar.

How did you fix it? All my wires are plugged in when I'm re binding/ calibration.. This esc/motor is about to be sent back to amainhobbies already got my RMA and will be sending it out tomorrow..my freshly built new 22 is dying to hit the track should of been there right now I think I got a DUD

Thanks

I would have to say he plugged the sensor wire.

The VTX will not run with the sensor wire un-plugged

Yes the 8 Scale ESC is in the works as we speak, the factory is hustling to break out some working prototypes so we can start testing the units.

Coppehead VX4 systems testing was a success and they are in production ASAP.

The VTX1 will be here next week
The Coppehead ETA is Late December
The 1/8 scale ESC and Motor ETA late Febuary
VST- Black series motors are in development working samples, ETA Late December

Lots of exciting products coming out, it will be worth the wait

It really depends on your servo and receiver set up. If the servo draws to much from the receiver it will do as you're describing. ESC has a little play in that as well. I always toss one on just to be safe.
