what do you tune in them? is your 13.5 faster than novaks?

"DirtOval.com Spec motors must be out of the box stock, with no modifications allowed. No parts of motors may be modified, altered or removed in any way. More specific Tech guidelines for motors will be available to all participating track owners and race organizers."

I guess the question is, what is the rest of the spec, and do these meet it for the new 2009 season?

And the 13.5 I just bought from you, will that be legal? Just ran it for the first time last week, runs very nice in my EDM.

[Oval-Man]

your motor will be legal everywhere except tracks that have adopted DODC rules.

[Todd Putnam]

Tune timing, shimming, gauss the rotor and record its measurement, etc; Basically blueprint everything we can. We can also install ceramic bearings for added performance.

Yes, our 13.5 motors are much faster than the Novaks - the timing on them is far greater than the Novaks-

I guess the question is, what is the rest of the spec, and do these meet it for the new 2009 season? The DODC has one, standardized motor.

And the 13.5 I just bought from you, will that be legal? Just ran it for the first time last week, runs very nice in my EDM. The motor you just purchased will be legal for the DODC Mod class, as well as any track that hasn't adopted the DODC rules.

Answers in bold...:thumbsup:

[markny]

what brand? what rating? 13.5 and or 17.5 ? how much do they run

[johnellinger]

I in no-way mean any disrespect to any vendor of brushless.............but this is the Exact reason why i dont approve of this type of racing. we can all tweak r brush mtrs for a 3rd of the cost! all the frkn cryn out thr about workn the mtrs is nothing more than sure laziness. were all mechanically inclined to some extent or u wouldn't b racing in the first place. sorry if i offended some of you ......just expressing my feelings. john :mad:

See original post above...
Our motors are the Feigao-based motors (Trinity) and retail for $80, which now includes our blueprinting and dyno-tuning.

wouldn't this post fall under the category of "frkn cryn"?

After at least 10 years of cutting comms after EVERY run, it is so nice to not touch motor screws all day long! No more lugging around a lathe, and a 2nd charger just to run it! No more bags of brushes & springs, motor stands, fans, comm sticks, etc. It is so liberating to be able to plug your Lipo into the charger, clean your tires, and then go BS until your next race! It makes me want to run additional classes, where normally I'd only have time for one.

I noticed you had time at RHR to put down more than a few cheeseburgers! :D

There's always time for that!

John:

No offense taken. I totally agree that tuning brushed motors was as big a part of racing as tuning with the chassis, body, tires, etc;

My thoughts are that if something is a speed variable, I want as much control over that variable as possible so I can work to gain every conceivable performance advantage...Any true hardcore racer, (by my definition) certainly shares these sentiments as well.

Unfortunately, people with our 'hard core racing mentality' are the minority in today's racing - and that's OK - as long as there is still racing to enjoy. Not everyone can or will make the commitment it takes to compete at the 'hard core' level.

On the grand scheme of things, I'd much rather race against the masses with a few of these tuning/speed variables restricted than to race full bore with just a handful of racers. :thumbsup:

Nice post Todd.

[teopro27]

It's kinda like buying a cheater crate motor.....:o.....lol

How do the tuned brushless compare to your brushed tuned motors. I have had success with your 27t stock motors

[Todd Putnam]

I could definitely gain more with a brushed motor, mainly due to the fact that our brush compounds were far superior to any others out there. There were a lot more aspects that you could tune on as well, brush cuts, springs, comm size, hood alignment, etc;

There are performance gains that can be achieved by blueprinting and dyno-tuning a brushless motor.

[cobra22431]

Your brushless motors come with ceramic bearings and tuned/blueprinted allready? Are they roar legal?

Tuned/Blueprinted with results are included w/every motor. Ceramic Bearing Installation Upgrade is a $20.

[stimy]

Todd, sent you 2 novak 17.5 motors should have got them on monday, just checking on when they might be coming back this way?

Thanks again, Kris Pisarcik/Stimy

[cobra22431]

Are they roar legal? My club has must be roar legal rules, let me know I may want to buy one to try also whats the total price of motor with ceramic bearings installed and Tuned/Blueprinted Tuned/Blueprinted with results are included w/every motor. Ceramic Bearing Installation Upgrade is a $20.

[Todd Putnam]

Yes, they are 100% ROAR legal. Blueprinted and dyno-tuned motors are $80. Ceramic Bearing Upgrade is $20 which includes installation. $100 total-:thumbsup:

[sunfish112]

Are these sensored or sensorless??

[curtisp]

They are sensored.

[staatsbmxkid]

any paticular esc work best with ur brushless or just preferance an price range?

[Todd Putnam]

The two speed controls I suggest are the LRP and Tekin units. Great performance from both, but the Tekin RS is the smallest brushed/brushless speedo available- :thumbsup:

[staatsbmxkid]

hey todd. do u have these in stock. or is it something i give ya half down an u build it and pick up week later an give u other half kinda thing?

picked up tekin rs pro speed control today also. so any help getting things set would be cool if u had a min or 2 extra

[Todd Putnam]

Blueprinted / Dyno-tuned motors are available and in stock.

Call the shop M-F, 9-5 and I can tell you how to set up your Tekins-

Thanks,
Todd

[staatsbmxkid]

hey todd. quick question. if u were to build a crazy mod brushless is there alot to gain? just asking because my mechanic is into the gas cars and they got some really good sized outdoor ovals near my house they play on. so was lookin for something to compete agaisnt them. also he will probably be calling for some suspension and some engine ideas or to buy some stuff from ya sometime soon. so ill need extra advantage lol

[Todd Putnam]

Yes, on the ovals in your neck of the woods an electric car will be faster than a nitro car. Call me and I can get you what you need to humiliate them... lol :thumbsup:

Not only is Todd the best motor man in the business, few understand his in-depth understanding of a racer's thoughts. Darrin mentioned "playing" and "competing" against his friends. Only through years of experience did Dr. Putnam understand his true meaning......... to Humiliate the competition. I yield to the master!

BT :-)

[Todd Putnam]

Thanks BT. This insight was proven to me years ago when a veteran would place his dearest friends in "Figure 4 Leg-Locks," beating them into submission. ;)

you got a pm
