guys,, I am just curious what are the differences between these two
1. http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ess-Motor-175T
2. http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ess-Motor-175T
can someone tell me what are the differences ??

Seriously, though, 'tuned' motors as far as brushless go consists of someone gauss checking rotors, inductance checking stators, matching them up in their specific combo, properly shimming the rotor (usually but not always), and checking their work on some sort of dyno to ensure a certain performance level (which is usually somewhat above an 'average' motor).

Well......$14 different, at least! Should make you go faster, but only because your wallet is lighter!

team drivers for these motor blueprinters get the best of the tested bunch.
What do you think they will do with the ones that dont pass the test? Throw them out? nonsense, if they threw them out, then there is simply no $$ to be made.
they get sold to guys like you and me.
so in the end, you are getting 'less' of a motor compared to an off the shelf epic.
And before someone says, well yes my #$%@ motor is way better than an off the shelf motor........back it up with some numbers.
I have bought from nearly all these tweaked motor houses and none of them were any quicker or more powerful than a normal one.
I challenge someone to provide real stats to prove what you are getting is a better performance motor!

my theory is, and I will get flamed big time for this;

BUT, in my case...
I can tell you, I've dynoed a pretty big pile of motors and the ones that have weaker rotors, higher inductance numbers, and just don't "cut it" are not sold as "team" motors, but as a brushless motor that's not as good, at a discounted price. The customer is aware of what he's getting. I've always tried to prep every motor as if I was using it. For example, at the US Indoorchamps, I had a pretty big pile of motors and sold the better motors to paying customers and ran what didn't sell. End result, TQ and win 1/12 masters.
The "team" guys ran motors that were equal to what was being sold.
I'd rather see a paying customer get a great motor then saving them all...
just my .02 cents...

I never buy the 'specials' as I know there are risks. Shops dont mark them down cos they feel like having a sale. They know which batches are good and which are not.
but include normal off the shelf motors that are not marked down, and compare them to 'blueprinted' motors.

yes you do get what you pay for.

If I have a less then steller motor it doesn't go to a hobbyshop.
I make sure what is sold is much better then an "off the shelf" motor and as good as what a "team" guy would run.
This can be debated over and over.
My advise is find someone you trust and stick with them

Like Fantom..... 
Since late 1991 I've been dealing with Fantom and even through some of the funkiest winds I asked for back then I have NEVER had a motor poof or that didn't run til you couldn't cut the comm any more.
Oh how I can't wait til we get back to winding our own armatures, er um stators, again.

Tech Adept
Plus, if nothing else, you were short changed on the value of your purchase! After rechecking the math and going through the "numbers" I think you will find that you actually got a really cool $15 sticker for your Trinity Motor. 
That's got to be way faster than a $14 sticker, ??? right???

the $15 sticker is no good anyway as it gets removed by the heatsink
