Any ETA when more of the 80mm Servos will be restocked?

Noticed my esc does data logging. Cannot do pictures now??? But info that could be observed. 13.5. Max current 67. Max watts 552. Max rpm 30656. Max motor temp 142. Max esc temp 123.(fan taken off esc). But whatever. Update. I compared my #s with some info I could find. Max amps seems impressive. Saw some other motors maxing out around 45a. The watts are about as much as a 6.5??? Rpms are around 9.5t ish. Does that all seem about right?. My fast lap was .4 slower than fastest. Was faster than buds new max 13.5. But ya whatever.

I do not believe there is an eta at this time, but last I checked tqrcracing.com had them in stock.

They just got have the 200mm wire one. I'll try and hold out with the Savox 1251 a while longer I guess.

Have a V16 25.5T with the high torque rotor on the way.

Currently running a Motiv MC2 with the timing around 43-45 on the can with a 3.8FDR for a small Grey carpet track.

Start with factory timing and the same FDR or do these motors like to be geared differently?

I'd start with your same gearing and 45* timing. R1's tend to like a little more timing than some others so you may need to go up a little especially with a high torque rotor.

Alu timing ring are available... but not yet timing and stator screws.
Any news update about release date?

With all of these options installed , what kind of gains do u think I'll get ?
Btw I'm running 17.5 blinky

3-500rpm increase.

my 1650 gauss, 17.5 tuned motor came in with timing set a 44 degrees. Is this tuned, meaning tuned with the timing set? Seems low and many are running 50-55 degrees timing. running 2wd buggy. Any thoughts?

My 17.5 that I just received from Rotor Ron came tuned and set at exactly 44 degrees. I have yet to run the motor but he states that it's set at optimal timing.

i question what exactly that means. does it mean that is where the power curve and efficiency curve intersect? if that's the case, going up in timing will probably net more power, but also disproportionately more heat. what if the "optimal" setting comes off at 100 degrees after a 6 min main? would 47 degrees net you more power, but after 6 minutes it comes off at 140? because if so, i'd take that trade off.

Like I said, I have yet to try the motor on the track. We will find out

According to what it says on his website; "My dyno finds that sweet spot that every motor has that produces the most power and torque without losing efficiency."

A good friend of mine bought just bought a tuned 25.5 from Ron and is very pleased with it. First night out he won with it. Of course he is a very accomplished driver on top of it. With my R1, I have used it just 3 times and I have won a 25.5 touring race and 2 vta races with it. With that said, my buddy is now turning faster laps than I did and though all things are never equal, we are using the same motors, the same chassis, and both using new TEAM EAM 6000's. This weekend, we'll both be at the track together for the first time in this class

Steve just got these in the other day. They should be available by next week.

It means where the motor makes most power as tested on his dyno.

Also consider; If you gear with motor set at 44 degrees and comes of at 100F go up tooth at a time to get to 140.
Car will be faster and your rotor will last longer.

from my experience, timing and gearing are not separate and independent from each other. i question whether or not the "sweet spot" for a motor for a given track can be found on a dyno. my 17.5 v16 (1750 rotor) has only seen triple digit temps on a handful of occasions. most of the time it comes off around 90 degrees after a race. gearing it taller negatively impacts rip out of corners and doesn't allow me to hit top speed on the straight until it's basically over. for me, gearing down and going up in timing has given me what i'm looking for (and i'm VERY happy with my v16).
