It can look that way, but I get more questions one why the Double Down is not ROAR legally than anything else about it. Many have also asked if it was banned due to being too fast, which caused me to chuckle a little. In the video, I go over why it was banned from ROAR events.
If I wanted it to be "Click Bait," I would have shown a bikini model and stated she was doing a live review of the motor.

Just a note for OffRoad Junkie and others ... The Double Down series was never meant to be a ROAR legal motor or compared to it. Was developed around the time that drag racing and "outlaw" classes for drag racing were being done back in the 2021/2022 time frame. While it may really loosely look like other Trinity motors, its a completely different design from ROAR based Trinity motors. About the only thing that compares is the "17.5 winds".....

I remember outlaw motors were not allowed from the days of the Monster Outlaw motors from back in the 80's.

Without starting a new thread, here is what I have done to my minipro. Many of us have identified the inconsistency with the belt drive system so it was great to see the version 2 has moved to the gear drive system. However as the Australian dollar has tanked against the USD, the upgrade kit is too expensive for me.
So here is what I have done. I fixed a spur onto the pulley by tapping 4 m3 threads. The ID of the spur is 8.5mm and I enlarged it to 10mm so that the spur can locate on the flywheel shaft to maintain the concentricity. I have a larger pulley (40t from memory) so the threads stay well within the material of the pulley. If you have a standard pulley (32t) the threads will be very close to the edge of the pulley. Once I have fixed the spur I moved the motor upwards so the motor shaft is closer to the centre of the flywheel. I used a 20x40x2mm aluminium extrusion with the standard mounting location. I ended up using a 42t pinion and 84t spur (48p) to maintain the 1:2 ratio. I can report that it works well.
Now does anyone know if there is a newer
version of the windows software from Minipro for the v3 board? The one from their website is from 2023 and I have seen some bugs with it (eg the power graph).
