Trinity isn't to blame for the inconsistantcy in the stock motors they just import them they dont manufactor them.

Arcor is a sanctioning body not a class,their equivelent to the stock class is the 21T limited class,which is wayyy better than stock class cause you only have one motor to deal with, be it's not a great motor, but neither are the stock motors.

Nothing mass produced is anywhere near perfect (look at FoMoCo). Even mod motors, which are much more hand-built than our stockers, are very inconsistent. These motors are VERY reliant on the magnetic field created within the motor and there's just too many darn variables that can affect it for anyone to ever be able to make consistent electric motors. I can't imagine you could ever produce two magnets that were exactly the same.
No motor tuning tips, tricks, "black book" ideas and concepts, or dyno results, can ever make a bad stock motor good. It's not Trinity's (or anyone else's) fault.

If there is so much potential difference in a motor based on how it's wound (on the machine), is it worth investigating whether or not it's possible to create a winding process that more consistently produces the motors at the highest quality? I know nothing of the machine winding process, or where they place their emphasis, but I don't get the impression it's on doing whatever it is that makes the fast motors fast. It's probably based more on creating the most motors for the least cost. The benefits of hand winding reflect this assumption, but that's problematic in stock.
Is the tooling required for machine winding why companies choose to import rather than wind their own motors?

Armature winding probably has the biggest effect on how fast the motor is going to be out of any variable in an electric motor (an expertly hand-wound stocker would destroy one off the assembly line)..but I don't think that's the huge reason for the discrepency between stock motors in the same batch. I honestly think it's got just as much to do with machining tolerances for the endbells, cans, and brush hoods, the armature blank itself, and the materials used to make very important motor guts like magnets and comms. Try as you might, none of that stuff is going to be anywhere close to perfect every time.
I won't pretend I know the numbers as far as why it may or may not be cheaper to do what kind of assembly in which country..haha.

i'm just waiting for my trinity bl motor to go with a gtb/neo system at the moment.

Is this motor ROAR legal?

It says on the package (right above the motor) something about ROAR/ARCOR legal.

Not bad...
Age doesn't have anything to do with it. You're discussing this with a 19 year old science geek

The only way possible is to dis-align these domains is to melt the magnet to a liquid form.

And they are not just pressed and left to dry. The magnets are formed and then they are put into a machine that basically "Zapps" them, giving them their magnetic field. I personally would be surprised if the magnets used in motors differed by more than 5-10% in strenght, probably less. This is new motors (and all of they same type).
You would be surprised to know this. These magnets (although i am not 100% sure) are AlNiCo magnets. They are comprised of Aluminum, Nickel, and Cobalt, all of witch are NON-ferrous materials, meaning that in their natural states, none of them are magnetic. But when mixed in the correct proportions and zapped, they produce rather strong permanent magnets. Just a peice of trivia.........
