I can push my stator towards each end of the can, back and forth about 1-1.5mm. I haven't ran it but 1 weekend so far. So it's still pretty much brand new. Maybe I can video it and upload it. There really isn't any way to fix it other than epoxying it in place honestly. Or get some sort of insulator on the output shaft side to sandwich it in.

Default stator

For the customers that the stator is sliding down in the can or is loose, can you please tell me when you ordered the motor. We had this issue when the motor first came out in September last year. I had the factory change the epoxy used to hold it in place and thought it was taken care off.

What I have had others do is tap the stator back into place towards the sensor side of the motor. Once it is there, you can apply epoxy in the vent holes on the stator sleeve (not the front bearing sleeve with large vent holes) This will keep it in place.

If you do not feel comfortable doing it, please ship it back and I will take care of it for you. Address is below

I got mine in March of this year. just so you know. And I show no signs of any epoxy on my stator at all. I don't mind epoxying it myself. I have some high temp CPU epoxy I can use.

Not sure what ESC you have, but a lot of them have a torque setting and/or "initial" power/speed/torque setting. If this is too low, you might have that problem.

I would also like to add that if you see any TSR drivers at a race you can come up to us and ask for help. Most of us are able to fix this issue and have you back on the track in no time!

Going to keep it in this ballpark for the summer and see how it goes. This was 17.5 tc. I pulled out a back to back win in usgt and 17.5 this past weekend. Funny that my usgt is timed at 40 and geared at 2.96 and temps stayed around 150/160. Whatever works.
How big is your track and how was fade at 6mins?

I was planning on trying something similar next raceday.

I am running a 17.5 "the 1" and was curious what timing and rollout
should be used on medium length black carpet tracks. I have been
running 40* and 85-86 rollout. I keep hearing about guys running
more timing a much higher rollouts.

On another note, my first TS 17.5 "1" has a loose stator. Thanks for
the epoxy tip. JB weld!

On smaller tracks I like slightly higher timing.
Try 42 to 44* on a motolyser and lower your RO.

What is the length straight?

About 100' with sweepers about 80' straight. 5 infield corners, 3 180's,
on the current layout. (TQ Chino)

I run on an 88 x 40 track.

You're kinda close... With high traction 41 to 42* with a 86/87mm RO

When traction is low I go up 1* of timing with the same gear

Have two 17.5 "the ones". Been running my primary about 10 race days. The solder tabs have a lot of play moving left and right. They all move together (not independently). I don't recall if they came that way or not. None of my other brand motors have this much. Is this normal? I don't feel any performance difference but am concerned with the long term life of the motor.

Thx all in advance.

They typically get some movement as wires stretch when things get warm.

Well, I guess the stator vibration got the best of the motor. It broke the wire on the stator that connects to the terminals. I managed to re-solder it to the ring and got it epoxied now. Hope it doesn't happen again. If you guys have movement, you better fix it now or you may not be as lucky as me.
