On mine I just max the timing and gear to temp, mine is fast, faster then my 13.5 D41s ever was. I also run the higher torque rotor.

Shock Tower

What specific rotor are you running for high torque. Could you link to it on the Team Powers website ?

Have you tried the advance endbell ?

James321

Team powers doesn't make a roar approved "higher torque" rotor. With the actinium the only rotor that is roar approved is the 12.5 rotor that comes in it. PN is TP-BLR-TP125G-R

Bad luck, could have liked some more bottom power like the X20 has.

The one I use is a 12.5mm one TP-BLR-TP125G-RV1
My 13.5 Actinium came with the 12.3mm Rotor.

James321

The actinium is known for having tons of punch. If you don't have it setup right you cant really compare the 2 motors. Try the settings I suggested.

Actinium motors don't ship with 12.3 rotors only 12.5. Both 12.3 and TP-BLR-TP125G-RV1 are not roar approved.

patorz31

Well mine that I picked up in HK came with a 12.3mm rotor. The first run ones seem to have both the 12.3 and the 12.5mm rotors. I had mine 3 weeks before it was ROAR approved. As for the Rotor I use, I never said it was ROAR approved I said I used it.
According to the ROAR list only the the TP-BLR-TP125G is ROAR Legal, not the -R variant.

James321

That is an error on roar part. TP-BLR-TP125G is a mod rotor with a 5mm axle not 7.25. The only rotor roar approved for actinium is TP-BLR-TP125G-R.


TP-BLR-TP123G-R 12.3mm x7.25mm x 24mm - ROAR (Plutonium only)
TP-BLR-TP123G-S 12.3mm x5mm x24mm - Stock Spec Rotor
TP-BLR-TP124G 12.4mm x5mm x24mm
TP-BLR-TP125G 12.5mm x5mm x24mm
TP-BLR-TP125G-R 12.5mm x7.25mm - ROAR (actinium or plutonium)
TP-BLR-TP125G-RV1 12.5mm x7.25mm x 25mm
TP-BLR-TP127G 12.7mm x5mmx24mm
TP-BLR-TP130G 13.0mm x5mmx24mm

Have you actually measured them? Every single one I ever measured (about a dozen) has been between 12.38 and 12.41mm. That's why I eventually sold all mine and went to something else. I couldn't find any big and strong rotors.

James321

Yes I have actually measured them... TP-BLR-TP125G-R that comes in the actinium measure 12.43-12.45 for me. And TP-BLR-TP123G-R measures 12.2ish Cant remember the exact #.

Do Team Powers have a built in temp sensor in their motors? I ran the car today and tried to check the temp through the ESC and it gave a bogus reading of 20c. I tried it with a reedy motor and my ESC was able to sense the temp.

Mine don't have a temp sensor - only knock I have to say about the motor.

well that sucks, I guess I'll be carrying a temp gun from now on

John Wallace2

Never was a issue until I got my Tekin Gen 2 ESCs, I always had a temp gun of some sorts with me or I borrowed one.

what would you say the absolute max temp the BL motor can operator on before turning into paper weight?
