Trinity duo3.5 new motor

Turn the timing up to 25-30. This rollout on a track that size is good. I actually went down a little this week on a new layout we have and was a little faster due to a tight infield.
Remember if your car is not efficient on the corners it's going to feel like a dog no mater what motor or gearing you use.
What car are you running?

I run the Team CRC WGT Lipo Edition. I could literally see guys catching me at the end of the straight. It was pretty obvious lol. When I went up in gearing it helped, but they could still catch me. My car is pretty good in the infeild, just has no speed. I'll try the timing in two weeks when I go back. Thanks for the help.

So i took the motor out and its definately the motor thats the problem....For fun i pulled a brand new 6.5 turn duo 3.5 outta the box and snapped my fingers on the pinion shaft and it spun freely...i then did the same to the 17.5 and the shaft just budged a bit.....so i took it apart and rolled the rotor down my set up board and it rolled down lop sided....is this the problem?...not much of a motor guy usually just wire them up and run! lol...thanks.

How come I can't change the timing pas...... Joking.
So I'm running 21.5 VTA, all the other guys are using motors in the 1800-2000kv range with an FDR of 3.8-4.0. I tried running this range with 10* timing and all I got was a motor with no punch and a lot of heat. I worked out the math and to get the same axle RPM as those guys with the higher KV d3.5, it seems I have to run something like a 5.3 FDR. Does this sound right?
Track is 60x60 and i'm running a Tekin RS on 2 cell high C rating if it makes any difference

For a track that size with this motor i would think a 4.2fdr with the timing turned up all the way (25-30 on the endbell) would be good. You will need a fan blowing on the motor or i could see it hitting high 100's after an 8min race.
If the motor is temping 190+ after 8 mins with a fan than your car is not efficient in the turns and your scrubbing way to much speed or your pushing the car to hard into the turns scrubbing speed.
Ex. I let someone drive my 17.5 TC in a race that was very efficient in the turns. Based on there driving style after a 5min run the motor came off at 180deg and was way slower then when i drive the car. That same night i drove the car in the other 2 races and the motor temp was 140deg each time, my race times where 2 laps better with TQ and win in the main. He was pushing the car to hard into the turns blowing most of them each lap causing the motor to work harder when the throttle was reapplied.

I will be the first to say I'm not efficient in the corners. This is my first ever try at onroad. I come from an offroad background.
When I was trying to run a 4.0 FDR I was coming up 4 laps short of the guys who have been doing this their whole hobby career. But was coming off at 180° with a fan. I've since dropped down to a 5.15 FDR and only came up 3 laps short but also only came off at 110°
It's really hard to get testing in because they strike the track as soon as we're done.
Thanks for the info, looks like I've got some testing and practicing to do!

Esc setting are normal. No drag brake. We also run blinky.
The guys running the novaks can get away with a 3.8 FDR on our track. The track is different layout each week. But it's always technical.
I'm going to just keep moving up on teeth until I find a good spot.

Ok 1/12TH 13.5 blinky, 35x100 track, 11.9 lap times. Regular D3.5 or Magzilla? What do you think?
