Well, I guess I'll cancel my order for a Javelin body and a few sets of VTA legal tires, (as the Justock would have been my esc of choice due to cost constraints).
I too, understand the spirit of the rule, and have to commend Rob for recognizing the potential issues the Justock could bring to the table!!! Way to be pro-active Mr. King!!!!!

Obviously you don't have a taste for how much fun this is if you are willing to abandon your VTA build just because the ESC you like isn't legal. There are other options for about the same price point as the justock. The Citrix being one.
Im still hoping Tekin will purpose build an ESC for this class.

That RED car looked like it kicked butt!! Cool little track! Looks like perfect USVTA speed

Yeah, our small track is a blast! We run a 6.9 FDR to keep the speeds down.

I have begged Tekin but I never have seen a positive response from them on that. VTA is just tO small of a market to build an ESC specifially for that. And for other ROAR stock classes they have their blinky mode.

Merry Christmas ! to all my fellow VTA drivers and Good Racing in the coming New Year !!

Is there something that Justock could bring to the table that Novak is not currently offering for our USVTA customers? Examining the specs, their Club Esc weighs in at a hefty 59g compared to our Mongoose or Edge at 19.5g; our GTB2 at 32.6g (w/o wires)

Wires are differrent for every set up. For that matter there are multiple fans available that may have different weights. Its best to quote the weight and dimensions of the unit itself w/o any peripherals.

59g (Cooling fan NOT included)
Some USVTA racers needed a controller much smaller than our Havoc 2S or GTB2 size---so we now have our tiny Edge 2S, which is the same size as the Mongoose---but we added three of our newest esc features:
....Built-in diagnostic temperature monitoring that lets you quickly check the ESC’s operating temperature at any time
....On-board Hall Sensor Test to easily and quickly verify that the motor's sensors are working properly
....NovaBrakes™ provide smooth, controlled and powerful brakes under any condition
Snoopy is correct; we weigh/spec our controllers with no wires because racers install different lengths of wire. We still solder our wires onto the controller, rather than just tossing them into the box....

Brakes!
I'm looking at possibly replacing my ESC for one known to have strong brakes. My GTB2 brakes are very weak, possibly due to an accidental reversing of polarity the first time it was hooked up to a battery. 
It seems to work fine otherwise. What ESC's are you all running that have good brakes? Also, how strong are the brakes on other GTB2's out there?
