If you're racing for the world title, then that's a concern. But I've never once had the sensor wire come out on any ESC.

Come out, agreed, still havent happened yet. However I have had one get damaged on a few occasions (on-road and off) so that would be a bigger concern.

I'm getting a viper vtx8 this weekend from a friend I race with. I hope it's smooth and reliable!

You'll really enjoy it. Make sure you get the Progauge programming card. Makes adjustments fast and easy. Only tip, make sure when you mount the on/off switch that it's wire is not rubbing on the edge of the esc. The case is metal and has a sharp edge. As long as the switch wire is away from it you'll be golden. Enjoy!
