Ok here is the problem, so let me try to nip this in the bud. Falcon Sekido sells these escs, and their part numbers like Darkside posted are ok. There is not like 6 versions of the escs or anything that i can see. Look for the justock.
CRC is also a distributor of the HW stuff as well, and i used their part number/name, not knowing where my test sample came from. Myron sent it to me after he tested it, and at first I didn't know Falcon had sent it to him. I thought he had possibly gotten it from a hobby shop, until he told me Falcon had. sent it for evaluation.
However, both names and numbers will be kept on the website to avoid any confusion because of who the esc was purchased from.

It looks like there are a few parameters that can be programmed by using the Hobbywing LCD Program Box. You can also update the firmware on the ESC. I copied the following text and images from FalconSekido.com:

Pretty sure that means timing can't be updated, and will always be Zero, soneone correct me if I'm wrong

I will abide by whatever the rules are. It just seems to me that teching the ESC might be a bit more complicated in this case-- but perhaps no more complicated than having to open one up to inspect the boards for modifications. (Of course, an oscilloscope would be the most expedient way to tech, but I wouldn't want to take mine to the track.)

Does anybody know why the Speed Passion Reventon Stock Club ESC is not available in the USA? It looks like it's only available in the UK and Australia.

So far there have been no instances of legality problems popping up with HW speed controls. I also have no problem pulling the approval the second I hear of problems.
I just wanted to offer more choices to those who think that there is "favoritism" toward manufacturers.
