Nathan @ XSpower Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Last I heard they pulled the vcms and aren't making them anymore because of a lot of problems with them.... I would love to hear who told you that, because it is 100% BS. We are out of stock on them right now, because we are changing out some of the board in the VCM due to parts not being available anymore.

Nathan @ XSpower Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 I have same issue, when I hook up my VCM to my quad setup I can't lower the voltage below like 15.9 volts if I have all four alts hooked up, If I hook up three I can't drop it below 15.0, but if I just hook up two or one alt to the vcm and other just connected to the stock harness, I have all the control in the world. I have the same problem with one or 2 it works fine with 3 i cant drop it below 15v and i have it on a switch and every time i turn it on it peaks at 16.3 and i have to re adjust it real quick befare it blows my computer or something. why is that nathan and why does it lose its memory each time? i wish it had a potentiometer or something so it stays at were you put it at. i just use it for comps cause it wont go below 15v and you said dont charge the batterys higher than 14.9 There is no reason it should lose the memory. As long as the harness is hooked up and there is power going to the VCM it should remember the set points. If you have it on a switch, then that can have an effect on the memory of the VCM. I do not know why it would increase the voltage when hooked up to multiple alts. There are a few people that have had this problem, but most do not. Steve has had the earliest VCM and hasn't had a problem. They are changing out some of the board, because some of the parts are not available any more and they are going to update the program in it. The VCM has a 1 year warranty so you are more than welcome to give us a call for an RGA # and send it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan @ XSpower Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 If you are having trouble with the VCM please email [email protected] This will help the guys in the long run. I myself have only heard of a few VCMs that were acting up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
