I can confirm a few things regarding the Viper.
Easily the nicest 1/8th ESC I've had my hands on regarding build quality.
Calibration and set-up was simple.
ProGauge is pretty awesome (well worth buying the combo offered at A-Main). Acts as a servo tester, LiPo tester, piss-easy to use and offers heaps of functionality.
BEC puts out 7v too, which is handy

I've not had a chance to put everything through a real test though.
As you can see, I've installed a Tekin T8 1550kv (all sits in a HB/Tekno RC D8T) with the Tekno Traktiondrive system and mechanical brakes.
