Trinity 24k 17.5 in t/c blinky

[Scott_83]

Hi all

As above. Anyone had use with this in blinky touring car.

Cheers

[Coastal]

yes.

I run them in 13.5 blinky and 17.5 blinky

the 17.5 I have has does not rev very high but has a very low current draw.
Like any motor the secret is getting the ratio right for the motor.

What advantage does a low current draw have

[reg]

This might be why they use it in 1s GT12,not taking so much out the battery's maybe?

We have more than enough battery capacity in GT12 so low current draw isn't an issue. WE use the 24k because it is really good motor and when sorted is fast through the whole run.

If the motor draws less current to give its speed them it generates less heat. That doesn't mean it is faster. As with any motor, find the right gearing/timing combo and it will go well.

In GT12 we find that combo on the 24k makes it arguably the best motor (with the Reedy 1S version) currently available. HTH

Basically as stated a low current draw will mean the motor will run cooler.
High amp draw means more heat in the motor.
The ideal set up on a motor with no load should be around 6 amps, by altering the timing the amps will rise (more timing) or drop (less timing)
The top driverswith their smooth styles may run with higher amp draws but anything above 10 amps will result in more current draw and higher rpm but will generate more heat and the motor will suffer and lose performance towards the end of race.

Most 1S versions of motors are not legal for BRCA sanctioned Touring car meetings
