Default Viper vs Tekin ESC

i have had several ESC's uptill now but am always been content about my Tekin RS Pro's. Only downer is the price of these things.
I got recently interested in the Viper VTX10 and VTX10R but I don't know someone who's using this ESC (afaik).
Are there people on oople who can give me some intell on the viper-ESC?
Now I'm sure it will be good quality but i mean, compared to the Tekin RS Pro.
thx

I had a tekin rs in my 2wd buggy up till last couple of weeks and have now put a viper vtx10 in. The buggy feels much smoother to drive and resulted in me doing at least one extra lap and finishing in a much higher position in the final than before. Couldn't tell you if it's the esc for certain but certainly feels so much smoother.

The BEC is also so much better than on my tekin requiring no work arounds for power for my receiver

Can you tell me what settings you used on the VIPER esc? or did you use one of the 8 build-in profiles?

I used profile 2 with a viper 8.5t vst motor, just tweaked the boost a little to suit the motor

I'm not impressed by the tekin rspro-bec, mine is very weak and does not give anough power to my system.

strange you should mention that. on my RS pro I had the car stop and go again in corners

and my RS went limp 4.40 into the race and then picked itself up again and I finished the race

what can be done? put a direct feed from the battery or something?
