I thought tuning rotors were illegal in USGT?
"Motor Specifications:
ROAR approved 21.5 + 2s lipo batteries No tuning rotors, must use OEM rotor 12.3-12.5mm"
Of course this also means my revtech 21.5 is not allowed since the last I checked Trinity never submitted it for approval..

after digging into the d3.5 motors and trying to get some straight answers I was informed that the d3.5 actually got passed on the new roar testing procedure and is not fat wire like the 17.5 13.5 and 10.5 so heads up racing it should be on par with any other motor out there.

When its all said and done the D3.5 21.5 isnt up to speed with other motors out there.
Snoopy not all motors are equal...if they were then people would be using D1 or orginal Novak motors and there would never be any advancement....yet new motors still come out for the same "Spec".

Thanks Kevin. I did not know that the 21.5 didn't use the flow wire or that it did not live up to the D3.5 name in terms of performance. Motor development is bitter sweet. It's always neat to see how they make them faster. And it always leaves a wake of guys cursing on their way to buy the latest motor.
I just got a package from Mr. Lemieux. That really is a great deal for four tires and some stickers.

Glad you like the tires it should really make things alot easier for the racers to not worry about not being on the same tire or someone using some old never to be sold again tires.

My opinion is that the tires dont work the same on 26mm rims as 24mm rims. When mounted on 26mm they seem to have a different feel like less traction feeling to me...thats not to say you cant get them to work but they just feel different. Personally if you are concerned with the looks of the offset I would get thicker hexes and use 24mm rims.

Kevin K . if u ran xpattern tires then switched to the ride . what setup changes would u make (other than hide height /droop/FDR)
I ran xpatterns (old ones ) they turned on a dime and traction rolled in a few corners .
Ran the ride tires (new tires ,equal setup) car would not turn . not to save its life ....
Ran jaco blues (used /equal setup) amazing handling difference .
Any insite ?
