    Your ponderings on the gt12 in general & the motor issues are fascinating, thank you.
    I've just picked up a CRC CK25 for my 1st 1/12 car (Ebay, NIB, Cheap :-) ) LMP, not GT12 i believe, but should be lots of fun

      Ah, thank you for saying that! Glad you've enjoyed it.
      Of course it will be. You'll have a blast!

    Hi , answer to your question at the end to, what I do is firstly try out another esc and also the tolerance for accepted timing phase deviation on the boards is 4. The trinity motors are best.

      Hello there. Unfortunately, I don't have another ESC. I do love Trinity motors, so I'll continue to try and get to the bottom of this. In the meantime, I've bought a Hobbywing, so now I have the choice.

    Hi, personally I'd go with a the Hobbywing. If the beer you drank was consistently giving you a hangover, would you not try a different beer to see if you could avoid the hangover?...
    I think you should try something else, you can always sell it if you don't like the characteristics.

    • @TheRCScotsman

      Bought myself the Hobbywing. Let's see what this beer tastes like! 😆

      Mmmmmm, beeeeer!
      How are you getting on with your GS02 Komodo, by the way?

    Are you able to run 2 pole motors, if so these have high torque powerband at high rpm vs 4 pole.

    • @joneaton3366
      @joneaton3366 Год назад +1

      They are 2 pole motors already

    Have you tried a new sensor cable they get damaged pretty easily.

    • @TheRCScotsman
      @TheRCScotsman  Год назад +1

      Yes, sorry, I should have said! 2x different sensor cables. One of which was presenting issues with this motor, but is happily working in another car.

  • @joneaton3366

    On the box of my trinity revtech, they state the sensor boards are a wear an tear item and expect them to fail with use over time.
    In many of myself in the hobby never i heard of a brushless motor fail for no reason and i don't expect them to but may after a decade lose skight power ( 1 moving part non contact).but many esc's

    • @TheRCScotsman
      @TheRCScotsman  Год назад

      Indeed, although my new sensor board is maybe only 3 months old.

    I would probably stick with trinity, but I like being different. Sometimes it's more fun making something work than following the crowd. If however you want to win, then take advice!

    • @TheRCScotsman
      @TheRCScotsman  Год назад

      Absolutely! That's why I originally bought the Revtech. However, I've now bought a Hobbywing.

    I get it, I’d be in the same spot.
    But my quality-focused mind says If it’s a good design, poorly executed, it’s not really good.
    Decisions, decisions

    • @TheRCScotsman
      @TheRCScotsman  Год назад

      I made the decision! It was the Hobbywing.

    She lies to you. She cheats on you.
    But you can't leave leave her; your heart says "no".
    Yeah, kinda dumb mate, lmao.
    Is there a price disparity between the Trinity and HobbyWing motors?

    • @TheRCScotsman
      @TheRCScotsman  Год назад +3

      Hey, it's not quite as bad as that!
      More like "she's been great for a year and a half, but now she's being difficult and I heard her sisters are the same".
      If she cheats and lies, she's out! 😆
      Not really, both around £100.

    I would look towards what others run & suggest, especially those that are winners. Theirs a reason they dont use or suggest Trinity, if they were good or better they would be using them.

    • @TheRCScotsman
      @TheRCScotsman  Год назад

      Absolutely true. Yeah, it seems at my club, the Hobbywing is the preferred motor.

    You sound a lot like me. I like to be a bit different with stuff like this, so you've got to decide to go with your head, or your heart!!
    My choice, would be, try another Revtech!! But what do I know....!!! 😂

    • @TheRCScotsman
      @TheRCScotsman  Год назад +1

      I went with my head! I bought a g4.
      HOWEVER... Steve is also selling his Revtech... 😇
