I just picked up a fresh rotor for one of my Revtechs... and the colored ring is pretty crooked on the magnet. There is a dollop of the balancing epoxy on the ring, so Im guessing it was actually balanced.
Without spinning the thing up it is hard to know whether or not it is truly balanced, though.
Has anyone received a rotor like this before?

For the 17.5 Rev, what is the bearing size front/rear? Also, what size are the timing plate screws? For some reason they seem to strip easy.
Also, what's the big difference between the stock Revtech rotor, the 12.5 HT, and the 13 HT rotors and what could I expect out of the latter two vs. the stock?

To my knowledge it comes with a 12.5mm rotor, which is the max legal size in most venues (again, to my knowledge)
I love that motor though, I have a Duo 1 13.5 in my 1/12 scale and it takes ALL the boost my LRP Stock Spec can give out and still doesn't get hot. It revs out like a low-turn mod, best boosting motor I have ever run.

Don't know on the 13HT, but a 12.5HT will have more bottom end than stock, so I'd expect it to run best with less timing (closer to centerline) and a few more teeth of gear. The stock purple rotor feels consistent through the whole RPM range, especially with a smooth ESC like a SP Cirtix.
The 13 compared to the 12.5 will run a tad hotter due to less air gap.
Hope this helps!

3/8 by 1/8 by 5/32 I do believe. Not sure on the screw size.... maybe M2x4?

I traded away the only Duo 1 I ever owned quite awhile ago.
