Integy motors...

[Helgaiden]

Hey guys i bought i a tc3 off ebay a long time ago and it came with two extra motors. One was an integy Matrix v10 pro 27turn(had a dyno sheet on it) and it was in pretty good condition. I threw it an old Losi JR2 Buggy my friend found and that thing simply flew with a good 1500 Duratrax sharkpack (my best nicad. it always charges to about 1600-1700 before peaking and has excellent voltage).

The only other motors ive used were a Peak Perfomance Hellfire stocker (it was okay), a p2k2 pro (good), and then finally a monster stock (great). I plan on putting the monster stock in a b4 and putting the new monster stock co27 in my tc3, but was wanting to find out how the integy stockers compare to the trinity stockers. I was amazed by the speed and power this old integy motor put out and figure they could only have gotten better.

Anyone?

The new KOS stock motor from Integy seems to be on par with the other motors from Trinity, but they seem to be of worse quality than their competitors. IMO, I'd go with a CO27 or a Monster stock. Get a tuned one from a motor tuner to get the most performance. Check out the link in my profile.

Wouldnt the pro versions be good enough?


are there any other opinions? :)

Well, it depends on your definition of "good enough".

A regular motor will be fine usually (sometimes you might get a lemon), but for only a few dollars more you can get one already tuned. If you aren't racing or don't have the driving skill to take advantage of the small increase in power, don't worry about it. Otherwise, it seems like a no-brainer to pay only a few bucks more and get a more-powerful motor. :)

Nah ive never bought a non-pro version of any motor ever. :)

For touring car racing it depending on traction and layout. On tight slippery conditions a motor with a milder rpm range may be easier to gear and work ideally. Still, in any from of RC racing Trinity motors seems to be the favorite choice lately. Maxtec stock motors used to compete competitively against Midnights, Paradox motors even in oval racing - but Trinity keeps refining their stock motors sometimes producing a better version while the other tend to stay with the same version.
