Is there a chart for what each rotor is and what it provides? Just curious if changing rotors would do anything for my 17.5 3.0 and if it would, what rotor would be better.

Also, what is a good replacement for the power switch on the stock club race esc? I found mine to be causing my problem of the cutout.

That's a good question, i did some research on that as well... and coming across some older posts, it does not seem to me like people noticed any differences at all to swapping out to different rotors. In fact i think some people said it actually hurt them in some instances. Anyone?

I noticed a lot more torque going from 12.3 to the 12.5mm rotor in 17.5 MMM I have. It was exactly what I needed to take the A main win against a field of modified running vehicles in the 2wd open class. some guys were even running 4 pole motors and they were comparable drivers.

I sourced a super 7 rotor at the time. These seem hard to get.

Not sure this has been answered here, but I just bought the cheepo set up: Revention S with Competition Motor V3.0S 3500KV combo.

I'm not a racer, so I guess I am a basher: RC10T4.2

Does anyone know how this engine performs? Tunig recommendations? I am just about to do setup and I am hoping it will be fast and strong enough for the goofin' around that I do.

Any feedback?

Okay to run a 550 (SCT 4wd) motor with the reventon Pro esc?

Like Cain said. There is a big difference in torgue. My 2w buggy has some much more snap.
For Roar events. 12.3 and 12.5 rotors are the legal sizes.

Did you try a different sensor wire?

I see that the GranTrusimo LPF v2.0 are on sale at Speedpower. Is there are reason they are so heavily discounted? I own a Reventon R right now. Would buying one of the sale GT's be a downgrade or just old model? I race modified SCT and 2wd buggy.

I have a V3.0 17.5 and a MMM17.5, i haven't opened the MMM yet but the V3.0 has the black/purplering rotor. looking at speed powers site that is the super 7 rotor. but supposedly the non MMM is supposed to have the red ring rotor. I don't know what rotor the MMM has. But i do know that my MMM is no faster (with 15* motor timing) in my car than the non MMM (with 10*). Lap times were right on each other. I'm going to try a new sensor unit in each to find out which one is faster.

Both motors has the same arms. When I was racing on-road. I always ran the MMM motor 2 teeth less with the same timing. The MMM ran hotter than the V3.0.

i noticed the temps slightly higher also, for the V3 i was at mid 90s and the MMM is low 100s. ESC is at 88-95* either motor without fan. Ambient temps are in the low 60s. A local sponsored Kyosho driver took my car for a spin and was off 0.4sec a lap to the RB6 with D3.5 he just drove. Said he could tell the power was lower so I'm looking to try more timing. And I'm working on getting more corner speed, but that's for another thread.

I've been running our Blaze 550 SCT motor on my Reventon Pro (original) for a year now without an issue. I do run a fan on the ESC and on the motor.

2 Pole or 4 pole. Last word I saw here was if you don't use timing (no timing blinky software at least works well for the GT2.0 Pro), etc the 4 pole 540s will work. Not sure if they have commented on a 550 4 pole but if the ESC is at all robust as the GT2.0 Pros I would think you use proper current limiting (DRRS Value) that could work.

For the GT2.0 Pro in comparison with a 550 4 pole motor I used DRRS value of 3. 540 4 pole I was at about DRRS 7.

probably cause its old stock.

In modified, if you don't need boost, etc. then I feel the GT2.0 and GT2.1 s are great escs for the money. Very versatile, especially the GT2.0 Pro.

curious if he ran your car with his batteries. or vice versa. batteries can be a huge difference in stock
