Guys, we've been approached by some of the largest promoters and race organizers all over the world to bring this feature to the existing product.

Yes you will be required to use a Hotwire to engage Spec or "blinky" mode and yes it will be locked into this mode until you use a Hotwire to pull it out of spec mode. This will prevent cheating and swapping profiles post tech at large events.

Should you choose to swap between 0 timing and a boosted profile you still can using C1 and C2 both of which are custom profiles. There will however be no blinking led's to prove you're in 0 timing mode.

While blinky or spec racing isn't a huge tech issue at your local level. It's a huge time constraint and labor intensive issue at large events all over the world. While we are essentially taking the RS and altering a really cool feature we feel that his will help large events such as the Nationals, Snowbirds, JBRL, and many other large events worldwide be more effective, fair, and efficiently ran.

The best part is as a consumer you can choose to not do the update. However not doing this update will not allow you to race spec mode at a ROAR sanctioned event without the new lockout mode.

Anyone racing a Tekin esc's has already had to update their esc to get the current spec or blinky mode software. I will also add to that statement that they did so at no additional cost aside from the Hotwire itself. The RS and RS Pro are the longest running active competition esc on the market today. If you invested in your Tekin esc nearly 4 years ago you still have a competitive esc. Not too many if any other esc manufacturers can say that. Sure some of them are becoming competitive again now that boost is going away but to me that is not progression...
