I was wondering if someone was still riding that horse.
And, actually, as of July 2013 that statement is false. According to the brushless motors list posted at Roarracing.com, the Trinity 13mm are at the very bottom of the list of approved rotors. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ps5b8bd473.jpg Thanks on everything else though. Hell yeah! |
I'm actually quite surprised no one caught it before now. Apparently it has been approved for a year and a half. So it was legal in the D3.5 days as well...

They do have the inner spec shaft, but max diameter for spec class is 12.5mm Dayton |

As for "riding that horse", that is my job. It is my job to make my drivers equipment as fast as legally possible. I stay on top of the rules and updates to do so. Dayton |

The rule book hasn't been updated to reflect a 13mm rotor being approved for the 17.5 class. Current rule as published for reference. 8.5.4.4.2 ROAR Spec Motors: External shaft diameter must be 0.125 inches (3.175mm). Only one piece, two pole Neodymium sintered, or Ferrite (Ceramic) magnetic rotors are permitted. The magnet length shall be 25.0 +/- 1.00mm not including any nonmagnetic balancing material. The magnet outside diameter shall be a maximum of 12.51 mm, no tolerance, for the entire length of the magnet. The shaft outside diameter, where the magnet is mounted, shall be 7.25 +/- 0.150mm for the entire length of the magnet. This dimension must be measurable without destroying the rotor. |

Legal in general, or legal for the 17.5 turn stock classes? The approved list has lots of modified stuff on it.

If you are in a class that is designated "Sportsman Modified Short Course" with no motor specifically called out, does that mean this 13mm rotor would be legal? If not, in what instance would they be legal?

Sorry, I didn't mean that as an insult. I know a lot of people repeat the same information time and time again without doing research.
Thank you for the source. My question is this... If you are in a class that is designated "Sportsman Modified Short Course" with no motor specifically called out, does that mean this 13mm rotor would be legal? If not, in what instance would they be legal? Indeed. I have only heard good things about Fantom Ion motors. When I bought my D4's, the Fantom Ion V5 was on the short list of motors I was going to get, but couldn't swing the difference in price considering I was buying 4 motors at once. As for your sc class, it would be legal in a modified class. The Fantom spec models are within a couple dollars of the base Trinity models. We now offer a spec max version that includes the 12.5mm Ht rotor at a competitive price. When you start adding tuning options is where the price goes up. Dayton |

Ok correct me if I'm wrong but is this motor designed for 1s oval cars?
D4 1s Short Stack Spec Maxilla http://www.trinityrc.net/shop/index....product_id=705 If so how would it work in a 2wd b5m buggy? I have heard these motors are ridiculously fast. Other wise I was gonna get this certified motor http://www.trinityrc.net/shop/index....product_id=677. Just wondering as 150 is a lot for a motor but I know they are nice. Any info is appriciated |
You can run it on 2s as well.

What it do' Trinity gives you a sheet with the information on it, but in case you miss used it. Take the internal gear ratio which I believe for AE .2 is 2.60:1 (same as my truck) and divide that by what you get after you multiply pinion and spur teeth. They have an optimal range in which it should fall in.

Any thing special i need to do if my timing screwswere left loose and came out to make sure timing is still reading correctly or am i just screwed and need new motor?
