Hi guys, sorry for asking this but is there any reasons for R1 dominate tamiya track besides the owner lives very close to the track? If the motor is this good I have to save up to get one.... Also the newest version of the motor is v16 correct?

It’s called home track advantage. Many many hours spent dialing in cars.

So is R1 going to refund customers for motors not being about to pass tech ? I was told that he isnt sending in a current motor for approval ... Meaning all current R1 motors are illegal at events (all scale nationals & large races )

You should clarify your request. The only motor that's having issues is 25.5. All others meet the ROAR submitted numbers. Trinity i think has more of an issue. All there winds are having problems.

I'm sorry yes particularly the 25.5 motor . Not that some other random motors might have the same large wire hidden within....

i'm happy with my V16 with 1700+ rotor, but i think i paid like $125-130 maybe. now it looks like they want $150. that's pretty steep for a motor that doesn't include ceramic bearings or aluminum/titanium motor/timing screws.

Are you running On-road or Off-road? The 1700+ rotor's are a not good on high grip carpet on-road or even asphalt on-road. Run the 1500 or 1650 less heat.

Have noticed on some of the R1 21.5 Control motors the stator ring isn't even square with the can.

Just checked a std V16 13.5 I had here and same story

Really sloppy QC in my opinion, irrespective of if it is purely cosmetic or not, we're not talking Trackstar spec motors here (which by the way, they seem to have no problem getting the stator ring at least square)

i run 2wd buggy. heat has never been a problem with this motor. it has never seen north of 115 and that was a full pack of practice. after a race it's usually right around 100.

This happens sometimes. Not to worry, it's an easy fix. Place the front plate on a flat surface and simply take a 3.0 mm hex driver and push firmly on the front ring. Do this until all three sides are flush. I had this happen when I used long screws during motor installation.
