Prototype ESC's - ROAR, Legal, Fair, Sportsmanship, Opinions?
So far we've discovered:
Prototype - yes. Its not available for general distribution.
ROAR - Will use their rules for their regional and national events. This ESC would not be allowed in stock due to availability.
Legal - Yes, it was accepted by the race director for this event.
Fair - Doesn't matter, see 'Legal'.
Sportsmanship - CRC was willing to pull the ESCs, but needed more then 8 minutes to establish a proper ESC setup and gearing. Again see 'Legal'.
Opinion - The Black Diamond will change the horizon for brushless speed controllers. Per the CRC website, they will be available for general distribution some time next month. It still would not have helped a schmuck like me who can't run within .4 consistantly for 20+ laps.
I need to learn to drive better to be competitive. I am not one of the top 1000 RC racers in the world.
