Interesting. I haven't tried an Exalt motor, but I did swap recently to one of their batteries, 4400mah 150 C and it is has done well for me. Holds punch longer than my Reedy batteries and "feels" a little livelier later in a heat than my ProTeks.
That being said, the spreadsheet snippet that RC10Nickquoted above has the New Wave motor I am running (I have 2 of them) and in dirt oval street stock that New Wave is outstanding and is holding it's own against the newer HW G4s etc,
When it comes to Motors it feels like there is some luck involved as well as making a selection and setup that matches your application well. I have a Motiv MCS in my 2wd clay car and I think the New Wave was stronger despite the testing showing the MCS being a little better numbers performer. And I completely blew up a Team Powers 13.5 recently so now I am on to a Rotor Ron motor.....we'll see......

The problem is many new motors, do not need too much timing. Have to find the sweet spot. I have a Fantom 13.5 Helix v2, that thing is torquey. Low timing numbers, around 43. I have a R1 17.5 v21hd, Sammy told me to put the timing to 50. That thing has been great also.
I may back off the timing on the MCS.......we'll see.
The Team Powers failure was a QC challenge from what myself and others can tell. It is what it is.

My 5200 I am selling is 2 years old, they are around 3.1 ohms/each. I would double check you cables, sounds like the charging cables might be getting old. I thought I had higher battery ohm reading on a battery, found out my cables were getting worn. I Charge and discharge at 30amps.
Cables are good. My Reedy 4800 90c reads 3.1/cell just like it has for the last 9 months with the same cables. Also always charge at 2c. That one will read 1.5/ cell right when it comes off the track.

Kevin Abbott owner of said "Exalt" formally known as head of "Trinity" before Horizon hobbies purchased them... Sole man responsible for the Trinity Slot Machine "1" motor, and the over priced stock motors. Interesting to see he's still carrying on old Trinity$ busine$$ plan$, and product$. The vintage saying is now confirmed true "Theres a sucker born every day" My 👒 off to you sir....
