We could easily make some easy techable software that had it's own light/led sequence or special chime sequence to just by turning on the unit and allowing it to arm you/tech officials would know it was running the "legal" non boosting software.
183 software is non boosting, non turbo'd version and is on par with the speedo's currenlty legal.

Seems like VTA is now becoming the US Vintage Trans Am sponsored exclusively by Novak
Kinda depressing if you ask me

The dilemma is Robk wants all hardware to be un-manipulative, so there are no questions. Sounds like a fairly valid concept. Tekin has done nothing but talk software this and that, which doesn't fit into the box Robk is building.
The racers think a whole new ESC is just going to fall out of Tekins ass. If this were feasible, maybe Tekin would have mentioned it. If one magically did, I imagine it would be added to the list.

All Tekin would need to do is create a re badged non programmable RS, it really would be that hard for them to do. I'm sure if they got approval on something like that they'd be willing to produce it. Especially knowing their is a definite market for it.

So what we have now is a Tekin issue, not a VTA issue. You need to start blowing Tekins email account up with a 1000 of your VTA buddies that are going to pre-order, cash in full. Then we'll see if they do it. I don't have an MBA, but this doesn't sound as easy as some think. Maybe Tekin can fill us in how easy/feasible this concept is.

Well hell we might as well just make it all Novak and be done with it
I am really interested in what the tracks locally are going to do.
I heard alot of complaining yesterday at the track about the "new" rules
Heard a few say they are looking forward to it, me being one of them.
All I know is I want to race and not just with a few cars.

Tech Fanatic
The rules are there to try to get the timing advance out of the speed controls. None of the escs on the list have timing advance as far as I know. The speed passions, LRP 2007, etc. all have advance, just not turbo or cheat mode or what ever.
As far as Tekin, I want to have non-externally programmable, non timing advance escs. They have a fine product, but I'm not going to ask them to make something new (without a data port) just for us.

My LRP Sphere (non-TC) doesn't use timing advance. I can adjust brake settings and how aggressive the throttle is (punch control), that's it. I always run a 4.2 in the car and set the punch to "MODIFIED". It just lets the car pull through the gearing "faster" than the other settings because it's not limiting the throttle.

The class just spread out way to much already
The way I see it USVTA will just stay as a local club... where this rules/testing were created... Like I said before looked like the rules are beeing base only in one area and didn't take consideration in all the regions
Now there is a classic VTA too...
The new rules didn't benefit a lot of racers, so local tracks will have to run what is best for them and keep racers coming
ROAR released their 2010 rules, and the VTA rules did'nt change... so as far of official ROAR events a lot of racers will be able to compete without having to spend any money and run with whatever they been running for the past 2 years
Regarding Tekin, great company just as Novak, both companies are willing to work something out for the TA VTA class, so IMO both companies should have had a shot to be legal in the "USVTA" where the "US" does not apply any more the way everything is coming up

I hope everyone is going to do the very best they can do to keep this class going in the right direction....Ive been reading all the type and see alot of good points...the best thing Ive heard is rather I agree or not is Rob K standing by his decision with the new rules...
I see alot of issues with them, but Im loyal to this class, and will do what I can to keep it going in my area as well as nationally...I think giving everyone till Sept 2010 is plenty of time to get the right euipment or stick with the current rules(locally)...
but I do have a question...how many USVTA races do we have per year?
these rule will affect the races put on by the USVTA?...or is it for any track looking for USVTA support...like Snowbirds,Vegas,Cleveland,BTH,MCC..ect... or is it like the Novak Race where they came with a set of rules for that race?....I would like someone to clear this up due to the fact that very few VTA racers travel outside their region....
