Stories from the world of RC car racing

Is the Trinity CO27 the be all and end all of stock motors or is it just another option.I have had the opportunity to use teh CO27 for a few race meets now and so far I am unimpressed. At Bayside and Meakin for example I will be sticking with a good Monster for preference. I tried many ratios at Bayside looking for the sweet spot but can’t say it was ever better than a monster.
At the smaller tracks like Hobby Station I think there may be a case for the CO27 – maybe there is a bit more torque but not enough, I think to be able to pull sufficiently high ratios to overcome the lack of revs. I have won two race meets with one at Hobby Station and certainly in the first race at the Bayside Cup I was on TQ pace until a roll over on the last lap put me back a bit.
I think it’s a bit like so many things in RC – there’s a place for it in the box for when it is the thing but I wouldn’t be throwing out my monster just yet.

    Went over to Hobby Station today and ran a CO27 till I found the sweet spot ratio and it was pretty good. Also ran a Monster and I think it was just as good. I’m still no closer to being able to say one is better than the other. One is blue and that may sway some people.
