Most clubs I have raced only check for "blinky" mode, so long as the ESC is in blinky mode (Zero timing/boost) then it's probably going to be allowed. If the club only runs spec with outlaw motors allowed then I would recommend the Fantom Helix Outlaw:

If ROAR approved electronics are strictly enforced then I would talk to the local fast guys and see what they are running.


Side note, I haven't ran on-road in 5+ years and back then I used to use drag brake as well, but I have since learned that drag brake is a crutch giving you the illusion that you're running faster. It took me about 2 months after I disabled drag brake to "re-learn" how to carry speed through corners when I became a significantly faster driver without drag brake. I went back to prove that I was faster with drag brake but I was wrong, it made me slower and I never went back to drag brake since. What becomes more important is learning how to adjust brake strength depending on the amount of grip. That's where the radio adjustment comes in handy to set brake strength during warmup if track conditions change.
