I have a old Trackpower 21.5 motor from 2009 in my M05.I would like to use that motor until I can purchase a Reedy 21.5 spec motor.

if you can make an M05 faster on carpet than an M06 I'm fine with it... if you loose by less than 1/2 lap it may be too fast, lol

I don't think anyone would have any issues with this.

Jim feel free to use your trackposer 21.5 until you can purchase a reedy motor.

I heard rumors that there will be a new spec motor for TCS mini next year.

Where did you hear that? From Fred? Might be a good time not to buy any new TCS motor then.

Running what ever motor you want ruined mini before . Tcs rules !! Everyone runs the same motor . This shouldn't be a debate . And is not fair to guys that have bought the tcs spec motor . We haven't even started racing the mini and we are making exceptions ????

The original ruling was that the motor rule may be revised after 2 years. The reedy m3 21.5 seems to be working well, I don't see why it would change.

It is tamiya however....


I will follow whatever TCS motor rule there is.

I think making an exception for someone to run an older motor for a few weeks until they can buy the proper TCS motor is reasonable.

I don't object to that either, but it needs to be tightened up quickly. Otherwise, we know what happens.

With gear limited chassis, literally...gear limited chassis, it benefits us to stick to a spec motor.

I think we draw the line at 3 weeks barring extenuating circumstances.

After that they may have problems will wheel nuts falling off from the extra power

It is weird! But there are only 2 reedy M3 21.5 motors. part # ASC253 with a stamp of 273 and part # ASC284 which some have stamp 272 and some don't have a stamp at all.

So the legal motor is ASC253 with stamp 273.

By the way my old M06 is going to kick that shiny new M07'S ass!!!!

This motor which cost $51.99 from Hobbywing North America is a fixed timing motor of high quality that would be an ideal M chassis spec 21.5 motor for club racing.

No. It is not TCS legal.

We've been here, tried that, it doesn't end well.

With the way the Cowboys look Blaine, you should get plenty of Sunday racing in.
