There are a handful of guys using them at my track, and I've yet to hear of a complaint.
I'll second that opinion. I even just had the opportunity to compare my VTX8 against a new RX8 GEN2 that a friend of mine loaned me for a week to try and although the GEN2 is better than the original RX8, I wouldn't trade my VTX8 for any other esc on the market at this point. Hell I'll even run a hobbywing 150a before tekin anymore. The Viper has to be the most durable and reliable ESC on the market to date.
