Then TEKIN & LRP/NOSRAM caught up. But in different ways, TEKIN provided update via software(nice), whereas LRP/NOSRAM created new product (need to buy new ESC...more ESCs sold that way).
LRP/NOSRAM models that have that feature are "stock spec" in their name.
Novak then also released a new ESC for this.

Today I know at least those that do have the feature of variable timming as a function of RPM("dynamicaly varying timing"):
# GM90, GM120 & any older ones+firmware update (+gives options of RPM range for timing advance, not tried without sensor wire)
# Tekin (+gives options of RPM range for timing advance)
# LRP "SPX stock spec" & "SXX stock spec" (be carefull with SXX model if you buy second hand only the "mkIII" is bug free
# NOSRAM "Matrix stock spec" & "Pearl stock spec" (same comment as above about the pearl=SXX)
# Novak Kinetic (+gives options of RPM range for timing advance... :not tried myself, but says on website)

Any other Brand, I don't know... I thought ezrun, speedpassion could only change timming fixed for each run...(so when they go faster, they have less torque... no gain)
Well said...I totally agree on what you've said regarding the LRP SXX Stock Spec, many of my buddies have cogging problems with the MKI and MKII. Was told that LRP solved the bugs and issues with the latest MKIII. The LRP SPX Stock Spec seems to be a lot more reliable. The new Speed Passion and Hobbywing firmware seems pretty impressive as well.
