View Full Version : checkpoint 19t motors any good???
N2RACN 10-12-2006, 04:21 PM just wondering if anyone has tried these motors in oval at all? if so how do they perform. looking for any info at all. says on their websight designed for the touring car needs of today.lol. think that might say it all.lmao. just curious.
thanks allot
MIKE VALENTINE 10-12-2006, 04:27 PM Jeremy I don't think theres any thing wrong with them. They don't meet the current ROAR/ARCOR oval rules so they weren't ever advertised as an oval motor. They run very well in roadcoarse and will in oval also. There a much better motor then the Ultrabird.

The money motor is a fixed 24 degree motor. It also is not the modified teardown.

MIKE VALENTINE 10-12-2006, 04:32 PM "It also is not use the modified teardown." What! That looks like a sentence I would have written
reggie's dad 10-12-2006, 04:47 PM I don't know if this helps but I was running a gearbox truck at the New York state fairgrounds(paved gocart track over1/10th mile) and wanted more than the ultrabird most of us were using so I bought a money 19 and it ran outstanding, pulling way more off the corners and not running out of pop at the end of the straight, I goofed and told one guy who asked what motor and two weeks later 2/3 of the truck racers had them, the others had kamodo motors but I think the money motor was better every where it needed to be.
N2RACN 10-12-2006, 05:54 PM mike and scott-wasnt planning on using for larger events being it is just what you stated. not a mod tear down and fixed 24*. just wondering because maximus want to have a spec 19t with that as the motor to use. just want to know if its worth it or not seeing how they use COMPLETELY different brushes and springs, not the tradional. with very very few in the class here on a weekly basis tying to drum some interest. thanks allot
Silver springs,silver brushes, with a .050 hole,break in for min. 10 minutes@ 1.5v,they like big gear at 24*. They have a handwound 19t arm,but if i;m not mistaken it was hemi wound.. there are a few guy's out west that have cut the tab and put the timing up,they run descent,but still not as good as a d5\fugi..
I've ran mine set at 36 degree's against a field of d5's/ fugi's and it won't keep up.
SHAKY DAVE 10-12-2006, 07:32 PM On mod motors,i've found the 4 cell brushes work much better then the silver brushes.They do wear out pretty quick.Mod motors have a ton of rpm's.I've run a borrowed money motor one time,just to see how they run,and even not being on the gear,it was holding its own fairly well.

The arm isn't hand wound, but it is Hemi wound.....I got one just to skull the can for Mod cheap on E-bay....
Jeremy, just get the Med/Hard springs, and the Infinity Brushes. They last like the XXX's. That will be fine if Heath, or you guy decide to go Spec. Just gear them for 24 degrees. I'd start at 2.55 for that track.....
They have a HAND WOUND 19t,on top of the machine wound that came in the $$$$ motors.
