Turnigy Trackstar Motor Thread
#107
i had one of the silver can 7.5 in a stadium truck. i was not impressed. i have since replaced it with a tacon sensored 8.5 motor. way more torque and overal better feel.
Dont think im bashing trackstar. i have a sc120 esc and love it. just my expeierence with the silver can 1/10 was not good. now a backup motor.
im also thinking about getting the red can sensored 1/8 1900kv motor. how does these motors run unsensored mode.

That was a silver can until recently. It seems the newer versions are all moving to red as well, including the ones I own. So the distinction has to be made between re-badged Reedy and a non re-badged reedy. That's the Reedy and thus is quite decent. 
I recently added the Trackstar 2650kv 1/8 motor to my arsenal. Appears it's a re-badged Tenshock 6 pole. It has a ***TON** of power even on 4s. Way more than I need for a track, but was the only one available within the Australian warehouse and I needed a motor in a hurry. So far, seems excellent.

Well, I bought my first one (10.5t) after seeing a friend use one. I pulled it out of the box and played with the timing adjustment. It would only go 2 marks advance pass 0. It would go the full 5 marks of retard. I called my buddy up and asked if his timing adjustment was the same. He said he couldn't even move it. It took some effort on mine to at first, but moves easily enough now...just not pass 2 ticks advance.

Anyone run this motor for more than a couple months? How does it hold up?

My son has a red can 2100kv I picked up from a member here. The one you have to solder wires onto the board, sensored mtr, running unsensored Thing runs strong in an EMaxx and now a converted Revo. Runs downright cool on 3S.
I have a Turnigy 2560 6 pole, I assume 1st gen 2650, runs hotter than his, on 2S,3S, or 4S. Runs 160+ or so romping around. Sustained speed runs really climbs the temps, even put a finned heatsink on it.
My next one will be a 4 pole red can.

Mounting 10th scale tires was interesting.
Going to be fun!!!!!

I bought a silver can 17.5 thought it was a good price. But mine was a lemon. It never touched the ground while bench testing it would smoke and over heat. I took it apart, the rotor and sensor board look really cheap compared to my novak. I sent it back for a refund.
