Trinity Cobalt questions
Hello,
I am thinking about getting a trinity cobalt modified motor for this season. What I am confused about is the round wire vs flatwire. Is there a real advantage to flatwire of is this just a gimmic? If you go with the round wire, will you have less torque and just great mid and top end? This is will used in multiple vehicles ( ie- 4wd buggy, 4wd sedan, ) |
In My opinion, flatwire feels funny sometimes. It allows the armature to spool up faster, but it decelerates faster making it feel liek there is alot of drag brake. The round wire gives a broader powerband in my opinion. Its normally my choice to run it unless the track calls for the flatwire.
|
on my D5 flatwire i seemed to be able to carry more speed through the corners (as sushi said, it deccelerates quicker and spools up quicker) so in effect i could accelerate quicker and slow down later.
although i have had bette results running the normal round wire. |
Good rule of thumb. Flat wire = short track. Round wire = big track.
|
what about a track that has a long straight but tight infield sections? From what I have read, some of the top tuners don't do the flat wire at all?
Will the round wire still have good punch? |
Round wire works every where. It will have more than enough punch. If you need faster spool up try a silver spring on the positive.. Flat wire is pretty much used on short tracks only. As for what most are doing...... Round wire is definitely the favorite from what I have seen. I run Trinity products and I prefer the round wire on small tight carpet tracks...

Thanks for all the info guys. I think I am pretty much set on what motor to pic, now just need to determine what turn and wind. Probably start with something like a 12 or 11 turn double. Thanks again!
By the way, how many runs are you guys getting on the XXX brushes? |
I've been hearing about 15 runs and cutting the com every 4 in sedan applications.

thanks for the info. The brushes for the Cobalt are the P-94 sized ones correct? Which of the P-94 brushes are the longest wearing or is the XXX brush that one?
|
xxx brush is the compound. I think they are available in laydown, standup and p94 size.
|
Get the brOOd modified Cobalt. That motor rocks.;)
|
The cobalt comes in either p94 or standup....and you can get the xxx brush in standup, laydown, and p94 sizes....
Later EddieO |
But whats even better is to tell EddieO what you are running, and let him send you a motor for it.
;) |
Where can yo get br00d motors? Their website is under construction.
|
Eddieo: What do you recommend, P94 or standup for the Cobalt, also, is this a stock configuration for the Cobalt (ie- I can buy the standup version at the LHS made by trinity ) or is this something that has to come from a tuner?
