Volia - you now have equality between technologies. However, we all know that will not be the solution.
Controller tech for these motors goes as far as traction control and real time anti-lock breaking. There are tons of things that could and are being controlled through the esc units. I have nothing against that, either. It's just a different style racing.
Where are you getting this info from? True Traction control and ABS need sensors on all 4 wheels. We HAVE BOTH now, it's called your FINGER... Besides TC's are alreasy point and shoot... Both my 3PK and My Nomadio as I'm sure all the other top brands have an ABS feature in the radio.
You still can't go any faster than the RPM rating of the motor...
