Trinity Stock Motor Question....

[Ish]

Hi,

Can someone please explain to me what the difference is between the Trinity
Monster Horsepower Stock Pro Motor and the Trinity Monster Horsepower Stock
Motor?

I'm about to buy a 2wd buggy kit and can't see the difference between these
two motors.

Regards,

Ish

Usually when you see the word "Pro" after the name on stock motors it simply
means that the motor has been tuned and run on a dyno already. This is a
plus for most amateur racers, as no break-in is needed and the brushes and
springs have been custom-selected for them.

Top-rank racers prefer to break in their own motors and usually have
particular brush and spring combos for the specific track that they are
running on that day.

Below is an example of what Towerhobbies says about "pro" and regular
Trinity motors:

"COMMENTS: The difference between the Chameleon Pro and the Chameleon
(TRIC44088)
is that the Pro is dyno tuned (and therefore is broken in) and
has better brushes and brush springs"

handwound, trued, dynoed....seems to give more torque and RPM.

On Trinity new motors there's a little yellow sticker on them with the
specs. Read the labels at a hobbyshop

All true except for one thing...NO stock motor is handwound, that
would make it illegal for any sanctioned stock racing. But they CAN be
hand BALANCED, by some strategic drilling on the armature
laminations(& the Epic Binary actually uses epoxy balancing, but
that's also illegal for sanctioned racing, as is its quad-magnet
setup)....:)

Good points "Chuck". One of the thnigs that I have noticed that makes a
huge difference while running stock motors is to have battery packs
that are high voltage. Matched packs seem less important than top
voltage. A pack with 1.18 or 1.19 volts per cell will perform way
better with a stock motor than cells at 1.15 or 1.16.

Thanks for the help guys...

Sorry about the stupid newbie question....

There isn't such a thing as a stupid newbie question.
