How hard do you think it would be to develop something like that? Not trolling, love the esc, just getting the facts before i buy.
also, i wouldn't mind paying a little extra $$ for such a feature.
Just because another manufacturer ran into a wall with how they went about designing their equipment, it doesn't mean that the Viper system will suffer from it also. In my opinion, it is a problem that they probably ran into, which they had to develop a solution for, and they promote it as a "feature".
The truth of the matter is that 1/8 scale motors and ESCs are actually less complicated and easier to manage than the average 1/10th system.
As for either the VTX10 or VTX8 series ESCs, you will find the ESC itself runs much cooler than others based on the fact of how they are built. It's Viper's design, and that design is considerably different than anything else in the market.
With those differences, we don't see any issue what so ever in being able to run 100% sensored, 100% of the time.
