Id check the flux capacitor vipers are notorious for being below the correct jiggawatt rating standard.

The issues that you hear about have nothing to do with our ESCs or anyone else's ESC's. They are receivers that' can't handle the very sudden amp draw of some brands of HV servos.

I myself run Futaba radios (604 Receivers and 614) and have had no issues with my Savox 1257 and 1258 servos.

+1 I run the viper vtx10r/6.5 in my 4wd with radiopost rx. & savox 1267hv with no issues. It's not the viper stuff. Never one glitch with any of mine.

When using HV servos, you need to make sure the receiver can handle the voltage and amp draw. Some RX are not meant to be used with high powered servos and will throw them into failsafe mode. Just make sure you look at the receivers specs before using HV servos and you will be fine

Go with the vxt10 be. I run one in my B4.1 with a vst8.5t and couldn't be happier.

Just wanted to give everyone some updates from Viper and the team:

If you follow on road racing you know the International Indooe Champs are being held this weekend. Our newest recruit Multi-time National Champion Josh Cryul has jumped right in with two 2nd place finishes in WGT and 1/12 Modified. Mark Smyka is top 5 results in 1/12 17.5 as well.

Some offload team members will be attending the J Concepts Northeast Championships this weekend at RCE in MA. We had a great event their last year and looking for good results this weekend.

And finally, we want to wish our very own Dave Beam good luck as he is getting married this weekend -- congratulations!!!

I need to relocate the caps on my VTX10 so I can shove the esc underneath the rear bulkhead on my new RB6. Are there any issues with desoldering the board and hanging it off on a wire? Specifically maximum wire length?
