Trinity D3.5 identification
 
So I bought a D3.5 17.5 from a guy in our forums and it was advertised as a maxzilla version. The max version has a high torque rotor. From what I understand, the HT rotor you can buy is blue in color. This motor, which is supposedly a maxzilla does not say maxzilla anywhere on the can, nor does it have a blue rotor.

How do I know what I've got?

test it on a dyno as this motor is 3700kv and stock is 3500kv also a gauss meter

That would be easy if I had access to either...

•Comes with TEP1112 high torque rotor installed•Short stator, less wire, lower resistance, more power
•Lightweight end plate, less weight, lower center of gravity for better handling
•Improved air flow, cooler operating temperatures
•Silicone rotor damper
•Timing gauge on end bell, easier to make timing adjustments motor to motor, run to run
•100% designed for spec racing, No compromises
•Optimized for 1-2 cell operation, Touring, off-road, oval, etc.
•Sensor design, works with most high end racing speed controls
•Designed by Team Trinity in the USA
•3700kV

TEP1112 is a blue rotor. Does anyone else own this motor that can chime in?

What color is the rotor?

It's pretty simple, the HT rotor looks like this:

The regular one looks like this:

That's the only difference between maxzilla and regular.

Ahh... poo. Guess I am going to have to take this thing apart and take a close look.

I am looking through the end bell and the rotor is silver... not blue or purple.

The rotor is silver for all of them. The end cap on the rotor (not sure how to better describe it) will be colored.
