It could of been the supplier of the wire had a batch out of spec after ROAR did there first check.

I bought two of them. This isn't right. I know that it won't matter unless you go to a roar race but still trinity get a grip.

They will reverse it. The rule they cited isnt clear and they were resting the random motors with a new testing method. Which is horse frack.

They will reverse it, or get sued.  A lot. And lose.

The rule is perfectly clear. No larger then 20AWG.   If its larger then 20Awg, then trinity has put out a non-ROAR legal motor, and they will deal with it the same way they dealt with the Nemisis motors.  They will offer 200 people a $25 coupon for their NEXT Trinity Motor! (And everyone else gets nothing).

Maybe time for IROCC to have club motors again?  Then it wouldnt matter who is running a cheater motor, and who isnt.

What a load of crap.

Post #9 is a response from Team Epic explaining it from there end. Says that the wire diameter of the motor has not changed from when they first got it tested by ROAR, which is confirmed by ROAR. So the only reason the wire size is too large now is because ROAR changed how they measured it, not because Trinity changed anything.

Of course everything  Trinity posts on the internet must be true!  Why would they be biased?

The battle lines have been drawn:  ROAR/Novak/SchurSpeed vs Team EA/Trinity/Fantom

The real question is how do the OTHER motor's stack up?  Have to assume all the other motors pass if they havnt been mentioned. I would hope that if the new equipment found all the current motors to be illegal then they would be able to change the standard to reflect the reality that none of them passed.   ROAR posted in their forum last year they were getting more accurate equipment to check the motors. They have only reported the one motor, so until ROAR releases more information we have to assume everyone else's motors passed.

Hmm sounds vaguely similar to an esc problem of a couple years ago....i wonder if trinity will be suspended....Yea right

[BCbud]

For some reason the hole 60+ page thread hs been removed deleted from RC-tech, I wonder what the reason was for that?

Trinity has a little bit of power?

[BCbud]

So much for freedom of speech!

[TestosteRON]

Just saying......the Trinity D3.5-17.5 motor, with the purple end bell is the one that has been outlawed.......the D3-17.5-TEP-1053, with the silver end bell is still on the approved list.....so, I'm OK!
