Hi Paul,

Discovered the center one way is busted, maybe the cause. Will replace and try again. Track is medium/large, good grip, flowing. Have another touring car that handles great, it just this other car with a problem.

Thanks.

Joel

seloiv: Hi, both motors will be in the same ball park for speed with the speedgem most likely being a bit faster, The speedGem has our Racing magnets in the can and the endbell uses the P94 brushes which have always made better power and will last a very long time with a 15t. Both motors are totally rebuildable and will last a long time with proper care. so basicly the speedgem has some better components but it also costs more. I dont think you can go wrong iether way. Paul

Jay: No problem,I got you covered. what class are you running out their?

Nothome: on sunday i ran the Trinity 3turn with 5cells, i would have run a 4turn if i were running 6cell. I use the lrp tc spec speedo. I have run the new trinity Ib lipos and they are VERY fast, Like 7cell fast. but im not racing them right now, at most major races they dont allow lipo.

Rccartips: yea that could definately do it, hopefully that is the problem. let me know.

Thanks Paul
