So far with my 6.5 (the ideal wind for our track) I have run the speedo pretty much stock. As Weylin said, with the SXX V.1 I was using prior, I had to run boost to get the same power out of the motor which tells me the SXX was lacking something...
In my Vtraxx speedo I am currently running a linear throttle feel, which is how I have always liked to run my electronics (as linear as possible). The Vtraxx allows for throttle curve adjustments both smoother and more aggressive. It also has adjustments for throttle punch in 10 steps, I am running on 5 and it is not only powerful, but incredibly smooth.
I also have only been testing the lower current version of the Vtraxx, so to make a simple answer long winded
... If my results with the low current version are any indication, I have complete confidence that the Vtraxx10R (high current version) will be more than capable of handling any wind you throw at it, as well as being fully adjustable to tame the bottom end power that these winds exhibit.

Congrats on the new start and welcome to the rc world with some very promising products!
The waterproofing issue will be very interesting for rc bikes, as well, in which the electronics are quite less protected from the elements than in rc cars, in general.
However, until now, everyone used sensorless ESC's and motors in wet conditions, in rc bikes at least, because the "weak point" of waterproofing has been the sensor cable plugs... What about waterproofing these, then?!

The higher current version has two boards of mosfets, double the current capabilities. And like I said, the low current version I have been testing (and these are fragile prototypes) has been flawless.
We have a race coming up this weekend. For giggles I will throw down a 6-min run with a 4.5 and the low-current version and post my results

just yanked the 17.5 and put in the Viper 8.5, see you on Saturday for some mod action, with BOOST.
