This made me chuckle.
We don't believe the esc was cheating at all. However to "Joe Blow" just the sight of a 2s pack plugged in was enough to raise concern. It was an odd configuration indeed, compared to what the "norm" was at the time.
Worried!? LOL really? That's almost insulting, or better yet a compliment depending on how you look at it.
Kudos go to the CRC team for bringing the heat....

Tekin is a great speedo were a lot of other speedo's can learn from.
And the free updates are great.
Each time as I get a new softwere version the speedo becomes even faster.
At my club it's the most used speedo and more and more are buying it because it's fast and reliable.
Can't wait for what's coming up next.

Now that's a funny statement. Obviously you haven't been paying attention to the changes within ROAR. When the brushless motor rules and class rules were introduced in the '08 rule book ROAR eliminated handout motors for national events due to the higher cost compared to brushed handouts. As far as handout ESC's and batteries, not gona happen anytime soon with the current ROAR management, how would that be fair to ROAR's manufacturing affiliates, or the ROAR membership???? Who would pay for all those esc's, batteries and motors? General membership funds or race entries? You'd have to charge more than entries at the IIC to pay for all that stuff.

Nice shot at the IIC there...but I can tell you that for the entry fee you get WELL MORE than what you get charged. Free food twice, free bodies, shirts, set of tires for rubber or WGT, plus all the other stuff...... A way better VALUE than the 80.00 for a ROAR Race and bowling trophy!

Even though you get a trophy or a plaque for finishing top 10 in a Glorified club race around my parts with a 30 dollar entry fee.
I thought that was by far the best Roar race I have ever attended but that was very odd.

Or not even to get a trophy if you dont finish top 5 in the A MAIN. Like the Carpet nats.

EA ..... in no way was my comment a "SHOT" at the IIC. It was merly a statement of fact. The US on road racers know that the IIC most likely has the highest entry fee of any US race, and it's for good reasons. It's Vegas and when you have the ability to book over 1000 room nites in less than one week with your event, hotels will give you a lot of consideration and a lot of perks, like free food twice. This wasn't a shot at the IIC EA. Not unlike your shot at ROAR

Please look again at section 8.8.2.4.2 and it says, "Only one piece, two pole Neodymium sintered, or Ferrite (Ceramic) magnetic rotors are permitted". So if I wanted to race a sensored based 4 or 6 pole 10th scale motor, I couldn't run it because by your rules only 2 pole rotors are mermitted.
