One other racer was running the same motor and was up to a 41 tooth pinion. I still need to work on my driving and find another tenth or two, but the motor held up its end of the deal.It is a short stack, with the S High Rotor.
Thanks liljohn for the info, very helpful. Looking forward to ordering mine today. Happy & safe 4th to all!

Roar's new rules takes into account the lowest IR for each wind. That's why it says the minimum could change before the rules go into effect. No motors that are currently legal will be impacted by the rules. If a manufacturer comes out with an even lower minimum resistance before Sept 1st, that will be the new minimum. The current minimum for 17.5 is set from the new Trinity motor (which is 17.8 per pole)

Used the speedo 2 weeks, once for mod tc and once for stock tc. Very easily adjustable, responds very well to changes for throttle and brake settings. The power cap is slick. You won't be disappointed!!!

Not that I'm aware of & I've been testing this in stock TC for a month.

Not a HobbyWing at all. It has more similarities to the Team Powers speed control.
