Oh goodie. Just when the fire was dying down, we found some gas to throw on it. .

Boy, you're not kidding.... (I am talking about this whole situation)

U got a drill press that spins 30-35k rpm? at different rpm you will get different readings for each motor. I've personally Dyno tested hundreds of "handout" motors at may different racing events and concluded that if there was a team there from the company that sponsored the handout motors their motors were always better. That being said a "a top team driver" once challenged me that his motor wasn't the difference and we swapped motors for a heat. Not only did he KICK MY ASS he TQ'ed the round with my motor and asked if he could keep it and won the A main with it. I don't really care about if one guy has a better motor than another I would just like them not to have such a small "therapeutic window" (thats how we say it in pharmacy when the diff between a drug working and an overdose is withing a couple of milligrams).

Damn, Pags..... are you inferring that SETUP has anything to do with the way a motor performs (or not)?

Sorry, Mike (and others), I'm aware this wasn't the point of your post, but it seems apt for this thread with it's points and counterpoints....

I believe Proboat/Horizon has just re-entered the picture.

nice find ray...u back from jolly old England yet?

[LuckyDuc]

The new Proboat motor looks nice. I presume that once it is offered in a RTR Package it will be a legally approved P Ltd motor.

It comes in this....

It is NOT the motor that comes in the new Shockwave. The new Shockwave motor is a 3S 2400kv motor, Part# DYNM3900.

So far, the new DYNM3910 is not listed in any of the RTR offerings. I suspect that will change shortly.

[ray schrauwen]

But, being a 4 pole motor and running on a 30 amp Seaking esc like the BJ24, it's going to be a short fuse compared to the old fare of spec motors.

[TheShaughnessy]

Awesome. I think the new carbon rotor AQ motor, this new PB offering and the tp motor that Doug is having several people test would make a great list of approved limited motors. I know ill be trying to obtain the PB offering in the next couple weeks. I wonder if the esc is a t120 inside a dynamite case. Sadly I think even dealer cost will exceed the price point of a t120 or a SK120. But we all know horizon has outstanding customer/product support so that has to be taken into consideration.

I know this discussion is from last year but I just watched this video about the new miss Geiko 29 v3 and Impulse 31 v3.

I was wondering what this will do to the P ltd classes, I'm sure the Geiko motor will be legal and may give the UL1 motor some competition at last as it is close in KV, but what about the 1750kv 40mm Impulse motor, will it be the motor that everyone uses next year instead of the UL1 motor as it is bigger and will take more power, or will it be outlawed for its bigger size, despite being in a presumably very popular RTR?

[Darin Jordan]

Proboat did not step up to the larger motor size with any desire or expectation of them becoming legal for P-LTD. I wouldn't even consider that an option or consideration.

[rayzerdesigns]

don't forget proboat/dynamite has the 1500kv motors..i have been running these motors a lot this year..yes..have to change props..setups..but I have been running one in my p limited cat now..and multiple times have had it to 155 160 degrees..still going strong..all my nats setups will be using them
