Is the New ESC going to be the same size as the LCG?

Over here, R1 have been banned from submitting motors for the next 3 years so no way the V21-s can be used as a replacement. I've heard nothing from R1 on this other than they're "working on a solution" but that was before the ROAR announcement.

Yeah, if the stator lengths changed, that's a ban for sure. Tolerances are built in for things going a little sideways in production runs. In order for a stator to get flagged it has to be a significant change, sucks man.

How would you gear the 1650 rotor compared to a stock rotor? How about the 12.3 RPM rotor? I run at Speedworld and wonder if the 1650 might be a good choice for the tighter infield.

I usually go one tooth bigger with the high torque for an equal track. However, if you are switching to a smaller track you might consider using the same gear ratio. I personally use the high torque on all tracks and then just gear accordingly.

I know someone from R1 has got to be reading this thread, can we please get a updated sensor board? No reason a two race old motor that's never seen over 120 degrees should pop one, it sucks even more when I was the TQ and three other drivers also lost one during the day.

What kind of deviations are people seeing on v21 motors between endbell and actual measured timing figures?

I was running a State Race in Florida and also blew a sensor board in my V21. I put in my V16 and did pretty well, but I have blown so many sensor boards at big races that I am done with R1. I do not want to have DNF's at big races. And for the record, I know what I am doing.... I finish on the podium with stiff competition many a time...………….

is the V21 25.5 motor legal?

What are you using to measure your timing? On my Sky motor checker I see anywhere from 1 to 5 degrees variant between the 2.

If your looking for quicker response to technical questions, R1 rarely come on RCTECH, its best to post your questions on the R1 Wurks face book page or contact them directly via e-mail.

I believe the door was shut on R1 being able to come up with a solution when the 3 year ban was applied. Since they can't submit anything for 3 years they have no way to get a corrected version in the approval process. This is a issue you should bring up with BRCA or whomever your sanctioning body is since its their call for the 3 year ban.

They have a pretty good warranty process, you just have to get a RMA off the website.

Did you re-shim the motor, or did you have it apart? If you re-shimmed the rotor and are using teflon shims on the sensor board side I would get rid of them, especially in off road applications, but tank slappers in onroad can have the same issue. The "squish" of the teflon spacers is enough, that if your tight on the sensor board side, it can take out the sensors, even a light scuff will be enough damage to have a board failure.

Not doubting your motor knowledge but, if you re-shimmed the rotor and are using teflon shims on the sensor board side I would get rid of them, especially in off road applications, but tank slappers in onroad can have the same issue.
