Not a clue as to what 19 turn to get - anyone have any recomendations?

The "C2" is a RPM motor
the Quad 4 is a more of a torque motor.
the new KD 19 is coming out this week. Pulls crazy number, would really benifit from the 3800 or 4300 packs as they pull more juice from the pack
the Check point pulls close to the C2.(whick is also called the 'money motor"
hope this helps

Can anyone clarify the status of quat magnets? When are they legal and when are they not?

Hi, Tom.

Quad magnets fell into the spec category for 19T when I was in Vegas. The three endorsed motors were the Chamelion 2, Reedy Quad, and the Element. Any variation on those motors were accepted as long as the endbell had locked timing and met all of the other requirements normally associated with this class. So, the DC team version of the C2 was entirely acceptable for example. Quad magnets were not endorsed for Roar stock and as such the Epic Quad was not legal.

That's about all I can say about that! Hope it helps.

here's whats allowed for 19 turn motors.
machine wind arms
locked timing
bushings or bearings
quad magnets are allowed .

no motors that can have the timing advanced
or hand wound arms
