Don't see why not.

It would certainly make things clearer

It makes life a lot easier knowing there is no timing on an ESC just by looking at the LEDs.

Just spent the last hour trying to change settings on my Hobbeywing esc with the program box to set it in "blinky" mode with no luck....finally the penny has dropped that I need to download the HW/speed passion 508 software....is this easy to do?

There are also no Nosram speedos (it would be handy if there was a table somewhere showing what their LRP twins are). No Fusion Exceed sets (they'd be clubman legal) either. I'd see no harm in allowing any ESC as long as there's no sensor wire, which would cover folks with RTR kits.

Hi Lads,
Totally agree, I think it's a good idea. The likes of a Cirtix Stock Club makes things very simple, no timing settings & not programable. Once you have an ESC that has the ability to make changes things start getting complicated!! Is it going too far to specify a certain model of 10.5 motor? This would focus the clubman championship on driving ability only, which is the way it should be. |

I see no distinction between adjusting static timing in the esc or motor. The end result is the same - the absolute kv of the motor increases, and efficiency goes down. I presume some torque is lost, but the differences would be no more than gearing up or down a bit - as in gearing, the effect is constant throughout the rpm range. It's only really a problem in classes with restricted gearing options, like Minis. Dynamic timing is a whole other matter, giving mod performance with a stock motor, and puts a premium on escs and their firmware - an arms race, as there is in touring cars.

That rules Alan and me out so as the esc we use are too old and not on the list ?????
EZRUN-60-A-SL Sphere comp 80700 No blinky modes on either. |

Ivan your speedo is not listed because of the fact it is so old. There is no boost feature so no reason to list it. The list is approved esc whos boost setup can be turned off and set to run to the stock brca rules. I dont believe it rules out older speedos as they dont have boost availible and hence cant run a blinky mode as it not there to turn off.

I was thinking about this, and i reckon, yes its nice to be able to tell if a speedo has no timing advance or boosts, but as long as a driver has some method of showing this thats all thats important (using laptops, showing the user manual, showing the blinky LEDs, what ever) Already the DMCC rules and the RCCAOI rules show that for a competition the Battery and Motor should be EFRA/BRCA approved. I think we should keep it that way. Going down the road of forcing people to use particular ESCs could be forcing people with old or HK type escs to go out and buy new ones with money they havent got. This may particulary effect new racers, and with the small following we have here in ireland, we dont want to be scaring anyone off. Lets keep the current clubman class as is.. 10.5 and no ESC timing or boost |

I agree. Leave it as it is. Clubman 10.5 and now further advancement on the esc whatever
