It’s a spec motor, your supposed to use it out of box without any changes. Ceramic bearings would be a hop up on the motor
|
Huh. Your supposed to run the motor as is. Looks like I have to add an all parts must be OEM clause.
|
Defeats the purpose of the motor. He would be DQ’ed at a track that techs

At bigger races for indoor carpet USGT, are people using ~5200mah 240-245 gram packs or using 5800-6000 packs around 285-295?

Awesome, thanks guys. Is the 5800 R1 battery (~245g) the only option in that weight/mah range?

So guys I have a question is it legal to replace the bearings on the usgt motor by gravity with ceramic bearings? at our track we are fighting for 4 to 5 tenths among say the top five guys one guy went and bought several us TT motors and changed out the bearings and was able to get almost a thousand more RPMs out of it he is currently our leader I personally believe the boaters should be required to be run as they come out but everybody knows in this hobby people will do whatever it takes to get that little extra edge just like in real racing so my question is is illegal to change out the bearings since the motor is rebuildable it does have none adjustable timing thanks for any input.... This is the gravity RC usgt motor
Also would that be legal for roar or has roar not even addressed this issue for this particular motor as we have a large roar race coming up in a week |

Has anyone ran the Montech Racing Akura GT3 yet? Been wanting to try it out but haven't heard or seen anyone running it.
|
It should be illegal to change anything on that USGT motor, there's a reason why its a spec class motor and adding ceramic bearings to it is flat out cheating.
|
So what bearings can you run then when/if they get gritty?
Stock only? Avid? some other brand? Have to buy a new motor? Can you clean and lube? can you pull a shield? Can you run rubber shields or only steel or vis-versa? Surprised ceramic single shield aren't banned in the car too. Where do we stop and just admit we lost, not because someone had 'other' stuff? |
