THE BEST 13.5?
im sure this is going to start a flame war so hold on let me suit up................................................ ...........alright . so which would you say is the best 13.5 out there? my track mostly consists of 10.5 because we have such a large track, though i'd like to pick up a 13.5 for the spec class races.
i previously had an orion 13.5 race motor which i think i killed by letting the solder gun sit on there too long. it feels mushy when you try to spin the shaft. i was told that it is dead and i need to get a new one. that same person is trying to sell me on the DUO2 motors, though i want to make sure i am seeing all the options. that and i like to be the odd man out of the crowd!
ah! one other question. is it possible to open my motor up and salvage it? or is it really toast?

Before you toss the motor out, you said you thought you held the soldering iron on too long. Just check and make sure that there is no solder crossing the from one solder tab to the other. Just a tiny bit can give it the mushy feel.... I have had numerous people hand me their motors thinking the same thing. it just turned out to be a pin point of solder crossing tabs.

As said above you will get this feeling with a short betwwen the solder terminals too. Worth a check.

I went out to the iic with a bucked of duo 13.5's after destroying my best duo i dropped in a 13.5 novak balistic and hands down the fastest 13.5 i have run. I can't say if it will stay that way but a fresh novak kicks butt

The numbers coming from the guys building their own dyno's, who compare motors under similar conditions, show that their is not much in it. Race results would sugest a DUO (Trinity, Express or Fantom) are the proven winner right now.
