thats a good point...and plenty to choice from...but alot of guys like brand X or Z, and the same way these esc's got on the list....its only fair if a company is looking to add to the USVTA, we should look at it as a possible.
I am cool with the current list, but being a AE guy, I would love to have a LRP esc on the list...but after testing what they sent(more than 1)...its ZERO for LRP at this time other than the 2 already on the list...and trust me thats a real problem for me...but as much as I love being AE, Im just as much a USVTA guy...and see this as fair as fair can be.
We can add esc's as long as they meet the USVTA standards...so once again Tekin,Orion, and others can get onboard the USVTA wagon

I was in this race with Pete and what he did not mention is that this particular driver came from almost being lapped by me in third to all of a sudden pull away from me and in 4 or 5 laps was on my rear bumper trying for third. Was obvious to quite a few people that his car was more than likely boosted. Sorry to tell ya this Pete but this was not his first VTA race. He was at the first race at my track in plant city and was told then he had to remove that esc from the car for the next race. We will just have to make sure at the next one to get with Tim and make sure that don"t happen again.

I probably wouldn't put too much hope into seeing it approved. It can be updated via PC to mod non-blinky software:

Just curious.
HPI make three different sets of vintage tires.
So, how come nobody rants about tires?

I would assume that the same applies to the ESCs, the motor, the batteries, the chassis and the bodies as well.
My point has been made.
Thank you.

I appreciate the point you are trying to make, but unfortunately it does not hold water. By your logic, we should have 1 option for everything. VTA is not about being a spec class (though it very much is one), it is a class to help revitalize onroad RC. You can dig up any old chassis, use a number of inexpensive electronics, through a realistic old school vintage body on it, and go racing. No jelly bean bodies, mod speed intimidation, or flavor of the month electronics. It is supposed to be about similar speed cars where driver skill and luck rule the day. Not saying it always is, but that is the intention.
The disagreements that happen here are because people care about the class. When people stop complaining (in any form or RC this is true), it is because VTA is dead...and that is much much worse.
