On track with a Sedan, the R1 13.5 gave us a hot lap 0.2 tenths faster than the d3.5. Two whole tenths!!!!
What we can tell you is the motor build and quality is as good if not better than what is available currently out there. The motors have more RPM than the Gold Standard D3.5, so much that when unloaded you can hear it rev up in the car a lot. The R1Wurks motor sounds more like a mod motor than a 13.5.
In a 13.5 sedan we are gearing 2 teeth lower than with a D3.5, right around 4.5 overall. We are running the timing around 30 degrees on the end bell. Our track at RSD Speedway is 96x40ft, and the motor still has more top speed (it is visibly faster) and has a lot more mid range power than our benchmark D3.5. Much like it sounds, it runs more like a mod motor than a spec, always having power available when the peak is high on the battery. We actually dialed a little negative expo on the throttle to mellow out the throttle input an make it easier to drive because it just has so much rip.

Have you tested the V2 Plutonium? Just curious, as my newsy mod motors are very noticeably faster.

I am not sure if our motor tester has actually done the numbers on the V2. However I have run it in: -12th scale 17.5 and they have more top speed than the D3.5, similar punch. This was with the 12.3 rotor and about 4 teeth lower than the Trinity -17.5 Buggy Tons of Top Speed, my car was always the fastest on the track, again geared a few teeth lower. -17.5 Sedan. Two teeth less, more top end and great punch, however not enough brake, even with the 12.5 High Torque Rotor and Brake settings maxed out on the ESC. The V2 would be a great motor for a high speed track, but the lack of brakes is a hindrance when racing indoor carpet. The only issue is that the Motors are not ROAR legal. The R1s are. I am sure that they will have a new version out soon that will be allowed, but you can better inform us on that Mr. Team Powers ;) In conclusion, I can tell you that the V2 motors and the R1 Motors feel very similar in power and characteristics.

Thanks for the info. The new Actinium motor is ROAR approved, and is certainly faster...I look forward to similar testing.

Anything is rather open up by using a specific description in the issues. It absolutely was really enlightening. Your web site is useful. Many thanks for sharing!
