Duo 1 & Duo Motors 2 Which is Better??
I have heard that the Duo 1 is more of a torque motor and the Duo 2 is more of an RPM motor (17.5 & 13.5).... Of those of you that are currently running these motors in 12th scale which version is working better. The Duo 1 or 2?
Thanks!
Thanks!

On the track Ive found the Duo 2's run slightly cooler (5-10 degrees) over a 5-8 minute run. They are easier to adjust timing on for sure. But for overall performance its really really hard to tell a difference to me.

While not having run them yet I happen to hav e both of them in front of me right now. They both look to have the same wind and wire guage, same can, front plate, rotor size and magnet strength. The only difference I can see is the timming adjustment on the back. The duo2 has more adjustment where as the duo 1 has only 3 settings.

Full timing on the Duo 2 is slightly more than middle hole on the Duo 1.

Nevermind, I fixed the problem. Motor works fine now.
Where is a good starting point for the timing on a 17.5 Duo 2?

Dumb question but you did turn it toward the + side correct? I know if you retard the timing it will make them do funny stuff sometimes depending on the speedo!

Ive been running mine mostly at full timing and gearing about the same as an original duo. In rubber tire I backed it down a notch and a half from full timing. Never had any problems thus far. Come off around 150 degrees with a fan in TC.

i don't think full timing is that good, what speedy do you run it on?? as i find a little bit of timing to increase spool and top end is good and then gear it for the rest otherwise i find motors get to soft if you run to much advance once you add motor advance and speedy advance aswell!!
