Thank for the info. The motor from Amazon is still a damn good motor. , it's just you can tell it's been sitting in a humid warehouse for quite some time. It didn't affect performance, but you know this hobby has a big influence on the bling factor lol. I only got one from Amazon because I needed one quickly for a big race.

Mine from Amazon looked fine. Now that the forum guys are price-fixing I'll probably continue to buy through there.

thank you for the good recommendation. I know for me they build my motors as I order them. I am sure danny325is also gets fresh batches. I hope I didn't tune that 10.5 to high up for you. The mod motors are beast. I don't even tune mine. They have more than enough power. Have ran a 5.5 in mod 4wd no timing increase just stock. It definitely lived up to its name rocket. Was hard to hang on to. My 7.5 in my truggy can out run the guys running 6.5 from other brands .

So I just ran my Surpass 21.5 in F1 for the first time on yesterday. This motor rips!

I was very impressed with the power and how smooth it was. I would not hesitate to buy another one of these!

If you need to replace a bad bearing, on the end bell. Sort of difficult and a PIA. Any suggestions?

I Agree it is a PITA, . The Simple fix, is to buy a new sensor board that already has the replacement bearing in it. I sell them in my store, $25 normally, but for you I can do $20 shipped. I should have more in stock tomorrow.

The other option is de-solder the sensor board. There are six header pins that you can desolder fairly easily and the sensor board should pop off then you remove the bearing and replace it.

Let me know if I can help

I got a 17.5T with a dodgy sensor board and have been sent a new one under warranty. Only thing us, I have never taken a motor apart and have no idea how ti replace the board. I'm pretty sure there will be some decent tutorials or videos around, can anyone point me in the right direction?

I will film a video and put it up soon.

Did anyone tested the 21.5T in touring car class? How does it feel, comparing to Trinity Monster Max?

will take a motor apart and try and figure out the best way to get bearing out. I have a order of some ceramic bearings coming to test and sell if they make a difference. Will keep you all updated . Factory is closed till Feb 11. So it will be awhile. Have some other stuff coming as well. Will post when it comes in. For now it's a secret lol

I run a 21.5 in USGT I am right there with the rest of the guys as far as speed and acceleration goes. My driving skills are what are keeping me back

What timing and gearing are you running your 21.5 at in usgt? I have a couple guys about to use some in their touring cars. I ran the 17.5t in my 1/12 tonight. I didn't not do a back to back with my monster max but I was fairly impressed with this motor. I started out at 49° on my motolyser and a 74 rollout. Seemed a but sluggish out of the corner so I dropped the timing a little, probably around 46°. Seemed to have good rip after that and had 3 tenths fade over 8 minutes. Btw my home track is only like ~60x30 so timing and gearing will vary slightly. I will get actual timing numbers and what it says on the can when I get back to the track. I was able to consistently get this particular motor to read out at 0.0 deviation and 1° asemetry after reshimming properly.

I think my timing is in the 52 range but I plan testing it at a lower timing. FDR is right about 3.8.. I am not too focused on messing with any of it right now as I am more focused on getting more consistent as a driver. My lack of skill is what is killing me right now
