Motors
Are aligned sensors and hand-picked stators (premium motors) worth it over the regular?

If you're competitive at bigger races tuned and tweaked motors are worth it.
Well not the trinity motors those are rip offs. But you can buy motors directly from Fantom with ceramic bearings, and aligned sensors and timing tweaked to suit your class youre running in.

Only in the hands of a serious racer where 0.1sec per lap can make a difference of getting the podium or not.
Also keep in mind that there is a lot of "fryed air" sold so with such advertising it is always a guess if it is really true.

Short answer is yes, there is a slight difference in performance that can shave as much as .1-.2 tenths per lap on a 22 sec hot lap layout.
I've seen racers buy a dozen motors and test the resistance on each stator, keeping 2 of the stators with the lowest IR readings. Then they go through all the rotors with a gaussmeter keeping the 2 rotors that are the strongest and pairing up the most powerful combination while selling the rest of the motors as new (knowing they aren't the most powerful) to their buddies at the track which ensures they have a competitive edge over the local competition!
I've had really good luck with the 5% motors from Trinity, they won't necessarily guarantee to be faster than a competitor, but they are guaranteed to be one of the fastest motors you can get from Trinity. The club in my area put an end to the "Motor War" by allowing the Trinity Punisher which is an outlaw motor that proved to be the fastest motor anyone can get and would quickly become the most popular motor without having to fuss with anything other than slapping it on a motor analyzer to set the shim gap and timing based on phase and current draw readings.... timing is adjusted to get readings but completely arbitrary as no 2 motors are guaranteed to have the exact same timing settings to get almost identical power.
Over time folks would start to appreciate mod racing instead and stock racing completely died off locally nearly 2 years ago, ha!
