The Cirtix Club Spec is the system the tracks are specifying that the minis should use. Its a no timing advance esc and lock timing motor. Its to make sure that no one has an advantage in speed and that its all about car setup and driver skill. ----->Spec Class.
This system is also sensored as opposed to the hobbywing ezrun that you are looking at which makes it smoother at low speeds.

Cirtix 17.5t club spec:

1. No electronic timing advance esc
2. Mechanical timing on motor locked
3. 17.5T motor it a standard for a ROAR approved class
4. Sensored system for smooth low speed, no cogging

Hobbywing EZRun 9T:

1. Can vary timing electronically in the esc
2. Mechanical timing on motor locked
3. 9T motor and esc not ROAR approved
4. Sensorless system can cog under low speed
5. This is faster than above

Do get me wrong, the Hobbywing EZRun is a great system (I have one) but its not one that is used for racing at those tracks for the mini cars.

I would confirm with Norcal and Fast Pace Racing what they want the racers to use before you buy so you don't end buying twice.......if you intend to race.
