Again with my very, very limited knowledge of brushless it seem very possible for a sensored system to do this. How would you test this or could you. From my limited exp. with F1 didn't they decide to allow it because they had no way to check for it 100%. Yeah the team could spend millions on hiding it and the governing body could spend millions on trying to find it. Any of the F1 fans chime in on this.
For true "traction control", you need wheel speed. That's easy to tech.

For half-assed TC, you can use some sort of "delta RPM" function...but with a very light full-time 4WD vehicle on slicks and high-bite asphalt...I don't know that that would make a difference. You'd also need some pretty good information (datalogging) to discern nominal deltas.

Besides, I don't see many RC cars leaving tracks from wheelspin leaving corners. Off road, maybe...LOL
