I was told by one of the top drivers at my local track that the Monster Max 13.5T motors are soon to be removed from the ROAR approved list because a high percentage of these being tested at ROAR events are failing the test to be legal. Anyone else heard this?

13.5, 17.5 and 21.5 are in the works from what I understand.

A couple of my buddies picked up the new X-Factor 25.5 (for VTA) and were very impressed.

Interestingly, just Today we had a "sponsored" Trinity guy on our local Facebook group claim that the 17.5 was removed as of Dec.1. So either the rumor mill is working overtime or maybe something is going on?

He stated 13.5....not 17.5....As of today the 17.5 is still on there as well.

17.5 needs to be banned and removed from all lists along with all trinity products for changing the motor after submitted to roar... needs to be a harsh punishment for this crap

Default silly...

This ROAR spec motor thingy is just silly. Whoever wants to buy a slow motor? ROAR just needs to regulate speed (if they actually want to, but seriously... why bother? cos SPEC class will NEVER be spec as long as race organizers do not use a single brand or handout motor during events) via other means...

There are always other ways to regulate speed, such as using MAX RPM features of esc. This is so that esc cannot exceed a certain RPM... done deal, doesn't even matter what wind you use... motor cannot exceed that RPM for SPEC class.

For those calling out to have Trinity products be banned... ask yourself if you're willing to use motors which underperform? if not, you're in no place to call Trinity out. The business simply supplies what the market demands... strong, powerful motors.

Underperform... compared to what? I'd gladly run a slightly slower motor if it was the only legal option. If all I cared about was strong, powerful motors, I'd run mod.

I might be wrong but most motors today are made in China and companies don't always have control over what leaves the factory. For example, the first series of LRP X12 stock motors were of decent quality, but afterwards there were issues with weak rotors. Trinity may have similar issues, but with too good motors instead of weak ones.
Throughout the years I've tried various manufacturer's motors, and my 24K 17.5 is still going strong. Unfortunately the X-Factor 10.5 I preordered with my hobbyshop back when the new series was announced has still not managed to cross the Atlantic. Maybe I'll settle with an LRP X22 10.5 Stock Spec if their customer service is right and they show up in the next few days.

Are you allowed to use a larger capacitor on your esc? This might add even more punch to your set-up.

Trinity motors are top notch, but the other brands are not that far off....

bigger cap doesnt do anything to add punch all it does it maintains the voltage (spike) from dropping from hard acceleration .
