Any idea when the 1/8th esc will be out? Running unsensored stuff right now but want to upgrade to a sensored model.

We are getting ready to do testing on the 8th scale speedo very soon. Believe me... it will be well announced when it is ready to come out, just like the 10th scale speedos, motors, and 550 motors....

The 1/8th scale esc looks like it will be released in august. It will be a similar footprint to the 10r. Similar meaning slightly bigger but still smaller than any of the other 1/8th scale esc's on the market.

I've run just about every 550 can available and the viper 4.5 is a rocket but still silky smooth. I posted some esc setups a few pages back for the 4.5 and 5.5.

There will be delay in response next week. For any urgent matters in this period, please call Viper toll free number at 1-866-206-8558. Either Weylin or Raegan will answer your call. If not, please try again in a later time since they both are in race event. Thank you very much for your understanding and patience!!
