I plan to pick up the combo ESC and Program card, my other concern is how smooth or liner is the throttle profile? When comparing the RX8 to MMP, the RX8 felt more aggressive, were as the MMP felt a little more laid back. I preferred the MMP honestly but its other features really bothered me. I know you can adjust the throttle profile but both the RX8 and MMP were set to a straight liner profile. I hope that makes sense, I'm not a very good driver, and the aggressive nature of the RX8 did not help me to much.
One last question, I promise. How is the Cut off setup? The RX8 Gen 1 only had one setting of 6v where as the MMP could be fine tuned to different settings. Does the viper allow fine tuning of the Cut off volts?
The VTX8 is one of the easiest to program, and smoothest esc's I have used.
I've ran Castle MMP and MMM, Tekin RX8's and now the Viper.
Cutoff voltage can be adjusted to the 10th using the Progauge.
Adjusting punch control and throttle PWM will give you a very smooth, or very aggressive throttle feel, as well as using either a linear, or convex/concave profile.
Not to mention, its solid as a rock. I have 2 of them that have been in use for almost a year now running in an RC8 E buggy, and a Tekno SCT.
