Not only that, a lot of LHS would also enjoy selling some more ESCs in these hard times. I know they're struggling, so a ESC like the MMP which is not expensing, would be nice for them. When I raced a Xtreme RC Addicts, I used my 21.5T motor with 4 cell NiMH and everyone else was running a 17.5T or 13.5T with 1S lipos. My car was not set up properly, but I could still keep up with them. So would my ESC be banned as well and it doesn't even have A.T. in it?
Edit: So how many ESC are there without A.T. at them moment? Novak and Losi?

If castle was producing more ESC than they could sell, I might feel sorry for them about two
teensy, weensy, minisucle parts of the RC scene banning their ESCs. But they are not. I've got one on backorder for a few weeks now. They obviously sold enough of the December 1S pre-order lot (at the
retail price) to be doing another pre-order lot for January.
That your 21.5 would keep up with the 17.5/13.5 shows the folly of RPM limiting. Were you running 1/12th scale oval? If not, the comparison does not apply.
The Tekin technically has A.T. but it isn't done in a manner that makes as much of a difference as C.H.E.A.T. mode.
