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

I think its like 1.5 or 1.3 mm tap

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.

I had to turn the ring around. This motor is fast and light, but at a cost of it feeling solid.

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?

You need to set the timing correctly.

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?

When I spoke to Trinity, they said most of their team drivers are using the HobbyWing ESC.

I found one other person using a similar set up. Reedy black box and 24k. No throttle response when turned on.

I changed motors and problem goes away. Starting to think it may be a reedy problem.

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.

Dude that gearing is for a buggy. I run my D41s and 24k at 50-53*.
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.
