got my VTX8's in. no time to install but initially impressions are that in comparison to the various 1/8 ESCs I have had, and mind you no real issues with them, this ESC feels VERY BEEFY. Pretty impressed on feel alone.

On 1 thing off hand I would have liked to see changed is that any wires coming out of the ESC had a plug in option instead. If something goes dead there, I can just plug in a new wire setup (say the power button) and go versus having to send the ESC to have that replaced.

Minor thing, which says a lot on first hand look of the ESC to have that as pretty much the only "complaint" if you call it that lol.


Next question, will there be a motor that can handle the HPi Savage FLux 1/5 SCT? This motor would basically be compariable to castles 1515 motor. If this whole Sensor thing is the way to go, I could see going away from all my castle gear and going Viper in that vehicle.

Would like a truggy sized motor in the 1800 - 2000Kv range if possible.
