hi i am having real problems with my first viper esc.i can only set it up to work in one direction.reverse or forward.i dont think you can disable the reverse on this one so ive ruled that out.all the leads and points are standard as is the motor and battery.please help if you know a way around this.thanks

If it is the plug and play model there is no adjustment
Whichever way you push the throttle stick the first time
will be Ahead

The ordinary viper 15 has adjustable reverse and also disable

Hope this helps

Disconnect the motor from the ESC...

Turn on the Tx with the stick 'mid' position, IE: all stop...

Turn on the RX and hold the button down until the light on it comes on (about 3 sec's i think)..

Push the throttle forward and hold for three seconds, return the stick to neutral...

Pull the stick back and hold for three seconds... then return to neutral..

That should set up the ESC...

Idiot question number one, is your motor plugged into the right socket on the receiver ?
Idiot question number two, is it plugged in the right way round.

thanks Ned its the ordinary viper.the problem is there is no reverse.ive found online instructions for reverse enable  but it doesnt seem to respond to it.

yeah dickyd all plugged in correctly.
ive done the set up but no reverse

I have had similar problems, but reverse and no forward.   Solution : return to manufacturer with explanation.   They are good, will either fix it or supply a new one, normally free of charge.   Pete M.   PS no connection with the company.

i agree with peterm . i have had this problem three times. they just send new ones, but never explain what has gone wrong, see if you can get any where  david
