I went with the vtx8. It has a lot more programability to it for sure. And it definitely is built better. My rx8 broke in half and caught fire. Due to a crash. Because its built from flimsy cheap plastic. Just look at how the fan mounts. They didnt even bother making it a full hole for the screws. It wpuld make a good esc in the $80-100 price range but its too much of a flimsy pos to be $200
Yeah, that's what I thought.

I have seen RX8 reviews and people complaining about 200$ Non waterproof Cheap Plastic.

TeamOrion was the other one made with full aluminium but Viper was the only one waterproof. So I finally decided for Viper because I am basher. I hope That I have made the best choice, because I don't want to spend 200$ every day in RC electronics
