The Case For Spec ESC Profiles

I'm sorry guys but no one can stop the continued growth of technology. This apllies to all motor sport racing. Fast guys is always going to be fast no matter what because they always have the best equipment and that is all to it.
Everyone will always push their equipment to their limit to get the best out of it. In real car you always aiming to get that extra horsepower just to get ahead the competition. It sucks if you don't have the $$$$ to be competitive.
It's really hard to have a spec class if every single driver is using different equipment. The only thing to this is to have everyone race the same chassis,motor/ESC,body, same gearing. and it will all come down to setup and driving I think this the true SPEC racing.
You can't say SPEC unless everyone have the same equipment.

My best advice if you feel you should be at the front of the pack and you are not is study your laptimes and see where/what needs improving.
Sometimes it is driver error, sometimes it is setup, sometimes you just need "the next best thing"...

If anything i would think that introducing a new developement or product should be towards year end so the guys update there gear before a new year/season.
This changing every few months does bring us back to spending and making it expensive...
Then again guys should be wise to thier purchases and look at features like software updates rather than hardware.
Definately Tekin and SP are on the right path.
LRP/Nosram are just making guys buy new esc's every few months.

For Expert TC there still will be a market for the software of the month but for plan ol' "stock" racing this may be the end of all the back and forth.
Also this may even drive down cost of brushless speedos for stock racing. Technically with the new rule a Tekin RS won't give you and advatage over a Novak Havoc...hmmm.

These rules are only for the sportsman and vintage type beginner classes.. Right?
If so, this now makes motor and battery choices a lot more important for these classes. Cue the more expensive super power LiPOs and ultra timed spec motors!

Wow, weird to read this thread from the beginning and realise how much of it is now moot in only 4+ months. VTA has gone spec, RCGT seems to be heading in that direction also. More surprising...guys who expressed negative views of the situation are now realising how positive an effect it's having on the hobby.

I was using Novak GTB untill few of the guys start running Boosting/Advance timing ESC and pretty much I was left behind on the pack untill I switch to MMP then I was back up front again.. But now I'm really fed up with playing with ESC to get every ounce of HP out of the motor.. So I went back racing MOD and boy it made my life a lot easier and it was fun just racing and going fast...
So I'm looking forward for our club to start a True Spec Racing using the SP Citrix

You can't say SPEC unless everyone have the same equipment.

But the one thing the SP Stock Combo and the ZERO Timing Enhanced Profiles other manufacturers have set out to update, is reduce the speeds. Making the cars more fun to drive and a place for new talent (and racers who prefer the milder speeds) to join and rejoin the sport.

Have you really look at the car design especially the 2 belt car.. Xray, yokomo, tamiya, kyosho, 3 racing, Schumacher, Corally, top racing etc.. They all have the same flatfom different color I guess we can call that SPEC chassis lol... And just install The SP citrix and let's go racing...

I wonder if the USVTA rules will change to allow all ESCs that have the new Spec firmware/profile?
