Joking of course.

So I lend my backup car to a good friend and racer
Who is a great driver and he puts me a lap down
With it lmao
sooo now I know that car is GOOD maybe it should be the primary car lol

Then I find out the guy behind me is running a tekin RS pro ESC
And a 25.5 with no ring on it and to be honest it got in my head
The entire race I was so thinking that this sucks
I spend all this time and effort to be legal And this guy is like way faster now
Then in qualifying that I couldn't even focus on my own car ?.

Guess I will have to sit in on tha VTA tech at the next race
Yep this is your warning if your watching boys
USVTA means approved equipment only I WILL BE WATCHING

but this is why the USVTA esc list takes time bringing in new esc's and making sure whatever gets added, is tested by different racers and tracks to make sure its whats best for the class.

The main issue is that when you allow "special" house rules you make ppl wonder and that leads to spending money....This is what I think is why the ROAR VTA races suffer. You have no idea what ppl are running. The ROAR Pav Nats should have been 3 heats deep at least for VTA. Being in the middle of USVTA country, it should have been a plenty of guys from IL alone.
but anyway...keep racing and do whats best for your track to keep ppl racing VTA. It all comes down to support...but just to clear it up, Tekin esc is NOT on the list...YET!!

You know I am a fan of Tekin. Love their stuff, and when we first went to the current generation of rules, I was for allowing blinky mode speed controllers. Then that Vegas fiasco happened where the blinky mode had timing advancement. Tekin got it sorted out but it also left doubt behind as to how level the playing field would be with updatable ESC's on the list.

I could see the possibility of someone with the skills breaking the code and then all the sudden every Tekin blinky is faster than everything else.

I am still hoping Tekin will come through with an acceptable ESC. I think they may have dropped the ball on that one in spite of the teaser that Jim left in here a few weeks ago.
