If you mean the sintered rotors, try the LHS. I called mine with the Tower price in hand ($29.99) and they matched it. With the tax (on 2) it cam out to what they would have cost from Tower with shipping.

The sintered rotor is illegal in a 13.5 at a lot of tracks. You should check your local track before dropping some coin on a mod that you may not be able to run.

Jake- Lefthander's got em. $16.00

If the sintered one is illegal at your track,you shouldn't go wrong w/a direct replacement one. If you don't already have one,look into getting a motor cooler,either from Lefthander or Crazy Ronnie. It really helps out the motor from thermalling,thus saving the rotor.

You quoted the wrong part. That is the rotor for the original 4300 and 5800. The 13.5 has the larger front bearing and takes a different rotor.

Oops! Forgot the 13.5 had the larger bearing! No listings for the 13.5 rotor @ Lefthander.

You possibly have one of the early models. Now the 13.5s come with the big bearing.

Ya I know that wish I would have paid more attention before I ordered bearings for it taking for granted that it had the bigger bearing.
