Trinity/Revtech 24k

One of the screw holes on the timing ring stripped. I've sent two emails to customer service and no reply. To purchase aluminum ring is about $11 plus $5 minimum transaction fee and $20 to ship. $20 to ship via UPS ground which takes more than a week FL to WA? That is absolutely ridiculous for a small piece of aluminum! Trinity's shipping policy is Fn insane.
Can I put a drop of thread lock in there?

If you can still find one they make a steel timing ring for 24k that would probably work better. I stripped the aluminum ring in my d4 the first time I tried to adjust it and switched to a steel ring and have never had a problem since.

See if you can find a Tap and Drill Bit Set and tap it.

I finally heard back from Trinity. They said I could replace the timing ring myself, but they recommend I have access to a meter that can measure amp draw. Why? It's just replacing the timing ring. Aren't those stamped out in bulk?

Anyone having sensor issues with the 24k? I have three of them and the two cars that use Reedy Black Boxes won't detect the motor after I turn the esc on. The third car has a Tekin and I have no troubles. I have to unplug the sensor cable in order for the esc to activate. If I change to a different non-24k motor, I have no issues with the black boxes. I wonder if it is a compatibility issues?

So looking for a little advice on timing and gearing for the 24ko for people who are running them in either 17.5 Stadium Truck or 17.5 buggy. I tried mine for the first time last night in Stadium truck and it seemed like a dog. Ran timing from 48 to 53 degrees and geared anywhere from 72/29 to 72/32. It seemed the 'fastest' at 53 degrees at 72/32 but it was a little hot (150's) at the end of a heat race so I started backing some things off.
I've got a D4 1S that is very fast in my buggy so I kind of started around the same settings on this 24ko.

For my TLR22T 2.0 I run 76/24-26 (FDR 7.10-7.70) depending on how technical the track is. With your gearing it will be fast down the straight but nothing off the jumps or corners.
