Mini's don't have to go the way blinky TC is headed.
I don't believe it was. That would have made sense tho. What would have made more sense was to let people use any esc that you could not advance the timing with, but select just one motor. That would have eliminated the search for a competitive motor and the only expense would have been the purchase of one motor. This also would have produced a "level" playing field. Of course, there is "voodoo" with B/L motors also. There's an obvious comparison here.
Regardless, we're stuck with these rules. Sometimes, TCS is like dealing with a government bureaucracy. They don't always make sense, but they do write the rules. And rules sometimes do have unintended consequences.
With that being said, it is nice not to be removing motors and cleaning comms every few runs.
