For stock touring class, can we use the TBLE01 ESC with the 18T Sensorless Motor? It will be too expensive to upgrade to the TBLE03S ESC with 15.5T Sensored Motor. Hoping that the Sensorless combo can be considered especially this is beginner class and an entry class for rc racers.

Will their be gearing checks after each main for each class?

Gordon

It says on the rules:

*You may use TBLE-01 and Tamiya Sensor less Motors but WILL NOT earn TAC points
