Erik are you free revving it? or doing it with the driveline attached and no wheels?
|
I got my tracking number and confirmation sent to me right away. Just annoyed they sent it ups and I specifically wanted usps. Oh well.. I hope to have it for this weekend!
|
Careful free-reving your motors, peeps! Something I would never do.
|
Yeah never a good idea. I have seen motors seize/rotors explode by free reving.
Just got off the phone with trinity. All d4 17.5s are sold just over the weekend alone! They where going to ground ship through ups florida to cali and it wouldnt arrive till next tuesday. Payed an extra 10 bucks and it will be here in two days now. Super pumped! |
Tower Hobbies has them in stock. They are for some odd reason priced at 121.99 but if you call they will price match. I had mine out the door with 2 day shipping for 112.99.

Any inline watt meter will work. It goes between the lipo and the esc. Trinity sells one and Hobbyking has one really cheap.The MMS is good to if you want to spend the money. When you do the test you want to make sure the battery is fully charged. Also make sure to remove your rear wheels. Then turn on your esc and give it full throttle to see where it peaks at. Usually 10 amps is where you want to be then adjust your gearing for temps.

I got one of mine installed. I switched out the rotor for a Certified 12.5 HT rotor. Set up the gearing and timing where I ususally run my D3.5's and Kill Shots. Did some runs on the street since im not able to race for another week. This motor rips! It's really fast!. My friend and fellow Serpent teamate TQ'd by 3 seconds last night on his first outing with it. I cant wait to hit the track with it.

So the D3.5 rotors work with this motor? The as says the stators are interchangeable but doesn't say anything about rotors. Nothing special about the D4 rotor?

You check amp draw with the rear wheels removed so its just the drive train attached.
If you have a good motor then freereving is ok. Here is Josh Cyrul demoing the new Motolyzer. You can see freereving didnt hurt anything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPI8hl9V_eQ |
Any reviews yet?
