Trinity motors
 
Got some older d4, killshot, 24k motors with tep1112 rotors that I want to refresh. Is the tep1119 and 1120 the way to go? Also what does rotor length do.

Its been a little while since i had one of those older Trinity motors in my hands. But I think I used a current rotor (1119 or 1120) to rebuild a motor for a customer at a race one time. The I forget if it required more or less shims, but it worked. Typically I believe a longer rotor would provide more torque.

Are you wanting to rebuild them to race, or just for kicks? With the upgrades of the newer motors, I don't believe those older ones will be able to keep up. However, the new rotors are the better way to go. A longer roto will provide more torque while shorter rotors will provide a higher RPM.

Just for parking lot club racing. Nostalgia.

They'll be fine for that. Or, for $20 more than the price of a rotor, I'll sell you a brand-new load tuned Tekin Gen4 SpecR 17.5.
