Release date?
Is there any idea on a release date, I am getting ready to pull the trigger for a SPX. I race RCGT and need that timing advance profile! Can not wait too much longer before the next race? Anyone have any info?

I have was told by my local hobby shop in the Uk that it would be feb at the moment for them being avaliable

Right on, that is what I was debating either the kinetic or the new lrp. I need to look into the speed passion. Does anyone know where or if I can find a video of the software which is used to adjust the motors with either the lrp spx or the kinetic? I wonder how difficult is it to adjust the timing and throttle and all.
Thanks,Jason.

The timing adjustments on the Kinetic will be accessible through our One Touch™ button; you will not need your PC to change them.

It is our intention to ensure that the timing features work well in all applications, not just 2S, and that it runs competitively against what is currently available.

So in your guys' opinion, do you think it's possible to create a spec ESC profile with certain confines, and have it able to translate in a way that other manufacturers could follow? Sort of like how you guys helped design the guidelines for how spec motors are built. It just seems like this whole ESC game is escalating wildly out of control. And then there's this new LRP motor that seemingly can't be run with advanced timing ESC's. I have no idea what they've done, but it's a totally different game than any other motor I've tested. These are troubling times.

I have had some informal conversations with representatives from other companies who would tend to agree that the escalation process is getting out of hand.
Spec speeds are much higher than they were ever intended on being, bunching up the speed differential between stock, super stock, and mod making all sorts of "problems" which have been discussed at length in other threads.
Even if the major manufacturers all "got on board" with some sort of drive profile limitations, there still need to be rules and guidelines that are enforcable... something that would fall on the plate of ROAR/IFMAR... and I'm not really so sure how excited they are about that sort of responsibility.
There is also always the possiblity that a smaller/less estabilished company who is not part of the major manufacturer's agreement or not bound by a specific sanctioning body's rules could come along and "break" the rules leaving us in a situation again where the escalation would come back into play.
On a personal level, I would like to see something done to limit the technology at some point, not so much that everyone's equipment will be exactly the same, but for the mere fact that it's getting very complicated and competative for your average racer to compete. I can see it forcing people away from the hobby because no one wants to have to invest in a new ESC every 3 months in an effort to just "keep up" ... also, with how the technology pushes the hardware to the limit, the chances of equipment failure goes up as well.
