In my opinion you only need the vtx10r for 4wd buggy. I run the vtx10 in 2wd sc and 2wd buggy with no issues.

Wow. That's fast shipping. Ordered Mon. and in my mailbox today. Got my BE motors..super pumped for next weekend.

Bringing in the power for 2015

Vtx10be, runs for about 3 second, then shuts off, switched motors, does the same thing. Suggestions???

What are the lights on the switch doing?

The 10r will run cooler, and has a little more punch. I would for sure in the short course and still probably in the buggy. I ran my 22 2.0 on a vtx10 with 8.5 for a while, no issues but has a better feel and the ESC gets less hot with 10r.

Hope this helps

Are the VTX8 combos gone? I was waiting for one at Amains without success for weeks and now they are off from the Viper website too. A new version coming?

What is your Lipo cutoff set at?

I know where you're going with this question and I can tell you from experience the lights doing things doesn't always show a fault.
mine doesn't show anything abnormal but my VTX8 doesn't work

F light goes solid red when throttle is pushed.

I see combo's out there for back orders, which one in particular?

Seems like a year since I have been on r/c tech.... haha

Seriously - first I want to thank our friends, fans, customers, drivers and dealers for a great 2014. We continue to grow our brand and find new individuals to get involved in the program.

2015 has a lot of great things on the menu -- the new Black Edition motors were the first step - and they even came in early!! So we starting on a good stride. Now on to the questions and answers....

Couple different directions here - as well as variables (you many want to PM or email me at [email protected] for more details). Things to look at...
- if power shuts off completely, connection somewhere including battery
- if still showing throttle response on switch, but no motor power = sensor related -- sensor wire, motor sensor, sensor connection on VTX
- If error lights - which ones - alternating F and R would be a short somewhere in the motor, battery or connections

In this type of case - first thing I would do it little go back to step one. Take it out and re-trace any connections, plugs, wires, just like it was new to see if something is not right. Best case we find the issue, worse case - we look at warranty options.

AEWER - yes unfortunately we ran out of stock on VTX8 the wrong time of the year and we are then needed to source a new supplier for some parts. Those new parts have to be tested before put into production to verify correct operation (just because it says a spec, we will try it, not just 'trust' it), so there will continue to be a small delay before back in stock.

As for new -- we are always looking for something new -- but it has to be better than what we have first!!

kwiksi and Cain -- thanks for the kind words -- we are trying our best to support everyone that supports our brand. We try to do the best we can for every customer.
