Ernie was right.

Anyhow, trying to find a competitive advantage is human nature. Limiting electronic advance is great, however this will only intensify focus in other areas.

The first one that comes to mind is battery voltage. Perhaps a second 'blinky' option (or lighting sequence) to designate an 'at or below' input voltage would be useful for this(?).

My next thought is mechanical timing via the sensor array. There is already, at least, one solution in place with a fixed-position harness. Unless it is already, though I could not find anything in the 2010 rulebook, I see this becoming the norm.

There would still be some areas in regards to magentic realignment of the rotor and possible pickup sensitivity of the sensors. I am sure these issues will sort themselves.

Overall, I applaud the responsiveness of the manufacturers and think it very encouraging to see them communicating on forums such as RCTech.
