The big thing for Carpet racers is now spec motors (typically 13.5 and 17.5) on 1S Lipo. This speedo has timing profiles optimized for those spec motors running 1S Lipo for oval racing. There is a big to-do about this because the optimized profiles supposedly were good for .1 to .2 seconds a lap at the "Ovalmasters" race.
The interesting thing is that some industrious folks figured out how to mod a MMP (have to actually take some components off the board) to use it with 1S Lipo and then used the C.H.E.A.T. mode and were just about as fast.
Tekin is promising to shortly have the proper timing profiles for their RS series to match or exceed the AE speed control.
This speedo generated lots of complaints among the oval crowd because all of a sudden there was a speed advantage to be gained by spending lots of money. I think they are all hypocrites - they have no problem spending $400 on the latest and greatest chassis every year, but a speedo? No.
What is so cool is that the Castle MMP for $128 is competitive with this.

That one guy in rctech bought one. Lets see how fast this ESC will make him lol.
