13.5 team trinity x factor
I just got the 13.5 and the timing is set at 50 deg is this okay to set and run it in my tLR 22x-4? I don’t have a motor analyzer, so I’m not even sure what it’s pulling, just curious as to why they co set at 50 too thanks again..

The motor is set from the factory, don't make an adjustment until you drive the car. Follow the 13.5 gearing recommendation in the manual. Run the car for a few minutes and check temps. If the motor isn't hot keep running for a few more minutes and check the temps again.

I have purchased a couple from Rotor Ron, as he tunes them. Always fast motors from Ron. But the other day, someone purchased a "Team Spec" one of these, and he sure seemed to at least as fast, if not faster than I was. Now mine is older, and I've ran the crap out of it. There is also gearing, battery resistance, and holding speed through corners. My only issue with this motor, is I have stripped out the screws in one. They did warranty it, as it was brand new. Another one I fried when I accidentally plugged my Maclan Pro speed control in backwards. Yep, friend a $220 speed control and a $160 motor. Now I purchase the HW Pro speed controls, as they can survive being plugged in backwards. Note, I race a lot, and run these in 4wd Buggy and 2wd SCT.

it seems like a fuse would solve reverse polarity issues.
