Mine started clogging right away. Put my Reedy back in and everything worked fine. I thnk it's a faulty sensor board on mine. I tried calling them (sales phone number) but got no answer. Does anyone know a different number to see if they will be able to replace mine?

I talked to Kevin at Trinity today and they are sending me another sensor board. I tried to use the motor again today, it worked for a second, although not that powerful, then it cogged down to not working at all within 45 seconds. Very very odd.

Sensor boards do that... there is a certain % of lemon boards. No biggy. I had one that just flat out stopped working after 1 run, and trinity sent me 3 replacements, was at my door in like 2 days. Great CS

I bought one of these motors the day they came out. It's still sitting in the box next to my brand new mid motor serpent. I need to build my car, work is so dam tiring. The few guys I've seen run the motor say it's faster then d3.5. I've only heard good news about the d4. Sorry to hear the your motor breaking down. I've always had good luck with trinity motors. I fried 2 shuur speed motor last year racing stock buggy.

Finally got some track time with the D4 today. I must say its very impressive! It runs extremely cool. My normal gearing for my Kill Shot is 27/70 and usually comes off the track at 160ish. Well the D4 with that gearing came off at 130 so I went up 2 teeth and still barely broke 150. The motor has a lot of torque like the old d3.5 did,maybe even more. I did run it with the Teal 12.5 rotor shimmed .5mm off the hall sensors. Timing was around 56 to get a 10amp draw using only the drive train,no wheels. I think I can get more power out of it still with some more testing. Great job Trinity!

Absolutely. I think the Purple rotors are better suited for onroad and the Teal 12.5 is best for offroad imo.
