The rs or rs pro will most likely never be allowed in USVTA. Nor will any other ESC tbat csn be taken out of blinky mode or have timing added. I think the question is whether the RS Spec with locked timing will be allowed. They are currently testing it and I am sure we will hear something very soon.

USVTA attempts to equalize the performance of the cars, including the ESC and other components.
ROAR does not test ESCs for performance equality. ROAR only tests ESCs to ensure that they have zero timing. There are no requirements or tests for on-resistance or other items that might be an advantage.

Any of the pro-Tekin people care to explain how it adds "value" to the series?
And if you're going to say "more people will run VTA" then I'm going call BS.
The infinitesimally small number of new racers to VTA due to new ESC isn't worth the potential issues even if the chances are .01%.
Anything else?

It can add value because if you look at the list a very large number of approved esc are no longer available. This would give racers more choice in an esc. I for one never liked any of the Novak ESC's. I had severe glitching issues and I never liked programming through blinking lights. Thats why I purchased a HW Justock. I like Tekin because of there customer support, so I have a RS Spec that I am running since my local track runs ROAR rules

I just got a new HW Justock in yesterday to replace my SP Revention that I killed
. After reading over the paperwork I realized that it's functions are very simular to the SP esc.
It comes with the factory defaults set at;
Forward only w/ brake
10% Drag Brake
3.2 LV cutoff
Level 7 punch (out of 9)
75% Max brake force
0% initial brake force
My question is are you guys that are running the HW ESC just plugging and playing, or are you moving the factory defaults around? The only default I see that I might want to change may be the punch control ( from 7 up to 9)
.
I have the SP "multi esc programming box" that plugs into the esc, has anyone tried to use that on the HW esc since they are so simular, instead of trying to do it by the buttons/lights/tones?
The HW Justock is a very compact esc, comes with a fan already mounted, and has plenty of wire length for the battery and motor connections which is very nice. For $50 I feel I didn't go wrong with the purchase.

NO. All punch is is how much throttle response that the ESC feeds the motor with the initial pull of the trigger. It in no way has anything to do with timing whatsoever, just how much beggining throttle the motor received to begin with. The WOT signal stays the same, timing stays "0".

All speed controls are available still. Just some on that list are no longer available new in package from the company. I don't mind using a used model if it keeps me legal. I think you're also excluding a large number of available speed controls because of a certain feature on most novaks. IMO I think VTA should only allow speed controls with absolutely no program features like the Novak Club Spec. Absolutely nothing to do on that speed control besides set it up with your receiver and go.
It's plenty fast enough to keep up with the best of them. I'm not even using a Ballistic 25.5 or Boss 25.5. Still running the SS Pro 25.5. I like to stick with the KISS system, Keep It Simple Stupid!. Makes it easier to focus on the chassis and my driving. Too many options can make things way more complicated then they need to be.

Im pretty sure I worded that in way that showed it could add value to the series. More choice from a company that is top rated in quality and customer service, not to mention it supports US jobs and growth as Tekin is a US based company.
The question is, why, when tested by the powers that be, the ESC proves to be on a level field with the rest, would you not want it added to the list?
Edit: If you cant buy it new from the company, to me that means no longer available. That doesn't mean you cant still find some new floating around at an obscure hobby shop somewhere, or get used ones in very good condition. I mean I can still get parts to restore my 77 Beetle, but they arent coming from Volks Wagon.

I still like the idea of no features period style speed controls. Go back to the days of old where speed controls had very few options. Just you, car setup, and good driving skills.
