* What are the normal running temperatures?
Mine got up to 230* in 7 minutes while only getting up to 110* in a 4 minute test. It still works after letting it cool overnight. What does that mean? New or old motor?
I was told by more than one person that the best thing I could do is run the motor into the ground then request a DUO from Trinity. But since that takes 6 months or so, I should write off the $80, toss it in the garbage, and buy a Tekin or LRP. Is this accurate?
What do you think?
I tried to run a pulse at 4.1 fdr in rcgt. It went soft at 4 minutes and thermaled or whatever at about 6 minutes. The same ratio on a duo motor runs like a raped ape. I also was told 17.5 motors should run around 3.5 to 3.7 so I figured I was at a safe ratio.
