Trolling thru the forums as one enjoys doing, I find interest in the number of users commenting about how much more 'connected' they feel when moving from one radio brand to another - when the latency differentials are in the 3-7ms range, while NOT correspondingly choosing to run the fastest available servo(s) at the highest available voltage(s). I mean if faster response=more connected=better, would not logic follow that only going part of the way (brain->hand->radio->receiver) is only part of the equation.

When discussing this topic in regards to steering servos, you start going down the road of response time vs. transit time vs. leverage, etc. There are threads already arguing the finer points therein.

But this got me thinking, why don't ESC vendors publish response time ratings? Maybe 0->7.4v/10A or 0->7.4v/10A->0? I mean, ESC's still have to receive signals and convert those signals thru some set of actions (processing, rotor position check, FET gate engagement (let's not even start the 'matched FET' conversation), etc.) in order for the electromechanical magic to happen.

Why isn't this information publicized? Are all ESC's the same? Are the differences 'too minor' to account for and, if so, what exactly is 'too minor'? Is there some great Russian hacking conspiracy taking place?

It seems like the speed/response time ratings have been a primary marketing point for servos since...forever and radio makers for the past couple of model generations. So, why not ESCs?
