I am looking to try a 1/8 ESC for 4x4 SCT, debating right now between the viper and the tekin.

Based on the specs that Tekin has, the datalogging isn't something I need persay.

However, I would like to know if there will be a software update in the future to allow the Viper to go to 7.4V on the BEC or is it limited to just 7V.

Is the BEC on the viper stronger than the Tekin?

With that EZ link you can buy with the VTX8, does that allow you to update your software?

it has been stated by other manufacturers who use a hybrid start and drive of sensored start then sensorless drive that there setups run cooler because of this. Is this true? If so, how much a temp difference is being seen?

For people who have had issues with the product, how quick was the turn around time and how easy was working with customer service, especially towards the end of the 1 year warranty period?

Will there be a 4 Pole 540 and 550 motor option from Viper for 1/10 4x4 SCT?

Any issues using Tekin or Hobbywing 4 Pole 550 sized motors on 2S with the VTX8 or Tekin's 1/8 motors on 4S?

Any plans to be carried by Tower in the future?

Thanks beforehand for answering the questions I have, very interested right now.
