With an easy-to-read interface, straightforward logic and a limited 1 year manufacturers warranty, the Viper ProGauge offers the most all-in-one functions, the easiest setup and the smallest size of any device on the market.
I wouldn't put that Viper combo in my 8th buggy. Like the mamba Max Pro, maybe the ESC can handle it, but you'll get much better power delivery with an 8th specific ESC/motor combo.

I had a 1900 RX8 combo running on 19/46 gearing in my RC8. I felt like I didn't have enough on the straights or for quick line up.

I'd suggest going with the 2250. I had a 2250 in my Vorza and I loved it. Ran it on 15/50 gearing. You can run a 2250 on 17/46.

I honestly Felt my 1700 was Gutless compared to my 1900....2250 in a buddy's Losi was Bonker's Fast....Overkill for racing. So much so he stepped down to a 1900.

If you gear a 1900 Properly it will Do it ALL and then Some.

I would suggest a 1900 or 2050 Tekin. The motors have been out for a while, and I've put mine through a year of racing. The 1900 seems to have a smoother throttle curve, while the 2050 has punch you need, but feels flatter on the top end.

I felt that I really had to stab the throttle on the 1900 to correct the car in air, or around corners, with the 2050, it's much easier to do.

1700 is too low for the large tracks I race on, and the 2250 is a little extreme.

I'm with this fella and so much so I went with the tekin combo. The AE weights over 8 pounds and ran great with the 2050. Tekin is the most popular brand with the good support. Warranty and no warranty prices are more than reasonable. With Prompt service.
So far its been dependable and I would bet its the most sold tried and true 1/8th speed control for its dependability. 99% of the racers at our track run them.
