$175 each. Is timing the only difference between the various scale applications? They have a 17.5 1s Certified Plus, but not certified.

For that kind of money, the motor can should actually be 24 karat gold. :D

http://cdn.webfail.com/upl/img/a760b22a5f0/post2.jpgIn that case, the Cash 4 Gold guys are heavy breathing!

From what I read a regular certified could be +/-30 on the rotor and the stator readings.
The certified plus will be +/- 4 and come with sealed ceramic bearings, a dyno printout and be timed for your application(onroad,offroad).
From the ROAR rules:
8.5.2.2 The maximum retail price of a “05” brushless motor shall be $149.00.
8.5.2.3 The maximum retail price of a 1/8th brushless motor shall be $299.00.

So will it be legal? Is it worth it if it is?

nevermind

The only difference is ceramic bearings right?

Most people tune their own motors and you can put your own ceramics in.

I wonder if 8.5.2.2 means MSRP or street value??

I can't wait to see how many racers will keep motor receipts during tech inspections at roar races :lol: The stock class has gotten out of hand..

$175 is Street Price on their website...

Anyone know the size of the screws that you use to adjust timing?

Are these the ones?

I'd say Yes to the ones @ A-Main.

Without a clear definition of price from ROAR, there is much ambiguity. Some may see this as an optional service that is provided on the behalf of Trinity to which they refer to as Certified. If you were to buy a standard motor, upgrade the rotor and add ceramic bearings you will exceed the $149 maximum price. This doesn't make your motor illegal. The base motor is about $99 the optional servicing to make it certified is added onto the price.

Today after two weeks i have open the 24k 13.5 short stack for clean , and with surprise i have see 7 spacer under the rotor , the rotor was centered to the stator. I have removed 3 spacers for move the rotor to close to the sensors board. I run blinky class touring car. Why this motor is factory set with rotor centered to stator?

i was always told 9ish on the d4 1s

24ko vsFantom vs new motors
 

Looking at non certified 24k motors for stock buggy. How are these ko's competing with the newer Gen motors? How is everyone geared for 17.5

I tried the KO in my SC considering the KO is recommended for high load applications and small tracks and I was very displeased with the performance. I replaced it with the standard K and love it.

I have certified in my 2wd and ST and they are great. I've tried Fantom, Schuur Speed and Maclan and I keep going back to the 24K.

Picked up a certified D4 1s short stack 17.5. With a 72 spur, what is the sweet spot for gearing on these short stack motors. I was under the impression to gear down 2 teeth. Ran 72/29 and motor was decent, but came off lukewarm after 10 minutes. Usually run 72/31 at that track with regular stacked motors

What would be the motor for 17.5 2WD buggy on high bite clay.

24K, not 24KO

Anyone get a 24KO to run good in a short course. I had a 24K in my 22SCT 2.0 last season, but put it in my buggy. I replaced it with a 24KO and it just seems poochy compared to the 24K. Any advice on timing or gearing would be great.

Thanks

I'm confused... in the market to pick up a 24k but it's short stack? Can I run this on a 2s shorty lipo? I thought short stack was 1s only?

It seems most of the top stock motors are going to a short stack as standard.
You should look into the Trinity Monster, it's the updated version of the 24k from what I understand, and supposed to have a better/more consistent sensor board.

So is everyone going 1S shorty, or are they still able to use a 2S?

2s

Looking for some help, trying to find a recommendation on a fdr for a 4wd buggy with the 13.5 gold motor. Maybe I'm blind and just over looked it on the website 😔

I've got a 24k 17.5, using my multimeter to try and get to that 6 amp sweet spot, even at the end bell marked 60deg of timing I'm only pulling 3.8 amps? Can I go farther past that point? Just wanting to be sure I am getting the most out of the motor.
