We allow the Castsle's and Tekins with the appropiate software and no performance difference is noticed,

It comes down to setup & driving,

If the more experienced racer feels the need to go faster then go to one of the 'Boosted' classes,

Keep up the good work ROAR.

Thankx, Bill

That statement alone contraindicates outlawing flashable ESCs.

Incidently, our track has done the same thing....with similar results to yours. We run a 17.5 non-boosted and a 17.5 boosted. Our carpet track is too small for MOD for any but the best drivers. Our outdoor track, though, is HUGE and perfecly suited to 'boosted' classes. If dynamic timing will only be allowed in MOD, then 17.5 MOD will become a local class.
