How's that list coming along? Any sort of update? Are these esc's going to be a 0 timing ESC? Several ESC's have the ability of just removing all timing, are those ESC's going to be an option?

If a Speedo is not listed please dont start flamming. It may be due to the Firmware needing a revision by the manufacturer before it can be added. And several are in the process of doing just that.

An Announcement related to the Sportsman Class ESC List should be posted on the ROAR Website shortly.

I was in the belief that ROAR were looking to have a limited list of spec speedies, (spec in both performance and price) using speedies like the SP Cirtix and the Novak Havoc), from Australia, a country who often looks to the US for guidance on its own rules, it is very disapointing its essentialy open slather (apart from the setting on the software)

Understandable because it is already tomorrow there...

Is it too soon to pat myself on the back for the blinking LED spec profile idea? I took a lot of *ish for it back in December!

I see an SPX on the list with no mention of what profile. Is the one with reverse timing free? Also, no mention of the GTB's Novak flashed with new firmware that added timing. You might ask them about that.
I have a feeling my SXX SS will be back in the car before long to prepare for some similar ESC rules for IIC. Interesting changes are afoot.

I was chatting with Shawn Palmer on this matter last month and (he is a wealth of information), at the time he could not comment on the units within the lists, however i got the feeling there was going to be a true list of spec units. Leaving it open like that list will only lead to distrust, and do nothing to limit the scalating costs of what should be a spec class.

ROAR as a sanctioning body can't build rules for or around the use of a single manufacturers product. We wanted to be as inclusive as possible as to eliminate the financial burden for racers by not composing the list of only non programmable esc's that meet the criteria set. Thus forcing racers to source old legacy equipment or buy one of the newer esc's on the list.
Why force racers to buy a lesser quality (internal components), lower cost unit that will have to be upgraded by more $$$$ and new equipment when that racer is ready to make the move up if we can make the more flexible, no cost upgradable unit do the exact same thing??
To me this looks like a win win for all, manfacurer and racer.

instead of teching part# on non-modifyable hardware (doable) or tech'ing software (almost impossible), it is expected to tech software and/or speedy settings? sorry i dunno the term that comes after ROFLCOPTER!!!
Is someone seriously going to sit there and check flashing lights or worse before every race? I can see guys sitting at home practicing how fast they can change their SPX speedy settings already...
