I just tore down the motor for a good cleaning. I was really impressed by the sensor board. Aluminum and it holds the bearing. Great design and definitely quality workmanship. Nice job Paul. No corners cut making this motor.

For those interested: This past weekend I did some back to back testing with the Motiv and D4 17.5's. I ran almost identical lap times with the two motors (Motiv was faster by 0.02), but the Motiv felt stronger towards the end of the run with little to no drop-off in power. This was with the optional high torque rotor. Very smooth power band!

Up next is Stock Wars at MRH this coming week, and more testing will be done. I know that Craig Xavier, Robbie Dodge, Paul, and myself will be running this motor among others.

After speaking with Paul and Sam yesterday, they are both very pleased with the result and feel that the spec motor program is coming around really well. Next event coming up is Stock Wars on October 23-25 in Middle River, MD. Thanks to Paul and Motiv for being the title sponsor for this event! http://www.rctech.net/forum/electric...-wars-mrh.html

Was Paul using the standard rotor in 17.5?

I would guess no since the 1/2 shows the optional rotor and tc 17.5 does not.

I assumed that if we was running an option rotor, that it would be noted, but just want to make sure.
I got my D41S up to 221degrees on Sunday (forgot to change the gearing after the Penticton WCICS event). With that said, I might order a Motiv 17.5 from you if the D4 is indeed injured.

I don't think the D41s gives up anything to the Motiv as far as speed/power is concerned, but the Motiv looks to be more driveable. ..smoother down low. The D4 is more of an on/off switch out of the tight corners.
Also, looking at the Motiv, it looks like the stator is positioned close to the front of the motor. Would be good for weight centralization in the car.
I hope Paul gets the 10.5 on the ROAR list. My WGT car is lacking power big time with the killshot. :/

Paul ran the high torque rotor, as did I. Not quite sure about Craig or Robbie. I timed at 50 and geared at 4.05 and the car had great rip and top end.

My 1/12 was profiled but in TC and USGT I ran 50 degrees in both with a 4.16 FDR for 17.5 and 3.86 FDR in USGT. Great power all weekend, I can't thank Paul enough.

What were some of the temps you guys were seeing? I notice between Paul's and Drew's rides the fans are mounted on opposite sides of the motor. Does one work better at cooling it than the other?
