Trinity kill shot motors

Your talking about the killshot timing plate not being able to move easy right? Another big flaw. You have to take the whole timing endbell assembly apart. I had to grind down the metal ring backing because it binded when fully assembled. Also the the ring within the ring I had to sand down those edges as well. Big fun when purchasing a new motor. Sorry about the R1 motors being out of stock. Steve has his hands full at the moment and I know he is replenishing those as we speak.
What I'm doing now is, pull the 2 screws out, push the rotor to pop the sensor board out, make the adjustment then reassemble.

Me too both the motor (RPM stator and 12.5 rpm rotor) and type of track. Just wondering about the motor as I've heard a lot of folks talking about smoking the HT/HT version (usually with high timing and geared very very agressively).

Do you mean to take the endbell apart to make the timing adjustment or take it apart to modify it to make adjusting it easier when it's fully assembled?

SO what exactly do the shims do? And on what occasion do you make adjustment? Obviously it would limit the movement of the rotor and how does that play a role into modifying motor?

Centering rotor to the magnetic field. Some say distance of the rotor to sensor makes a difference

You have to take whole motor apart to make the adjustments I've mentioned. Be careful when removing any of the endbells to keep track of how many shims are on the rotor for each side. Also a shim or two can stay stuck to a bearing inside the sensor side. Wish I could be more help but I have since moved onto a better quality motor with no hassles.

Yes... All of the parts interchange. I routinely swapped stators to build different motors for different classes without having to buy a whole motor.

Have to run a 17.5 race, only motor I have is a killshot with High torque stator. I have both 12.5 HT and 12.5 rpm rotors.
what gearing and timing, 170' straight, pretty open layout and which rotor?
