where is a good place to buy a new 13.5 rotor?

Thanks Jake

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.

I just want a replacement rotor , not sintered.

thanks Jake

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.

NOV5907. Looks like Horizon has them in stock.

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

Mine actually has the small bearing and same rotor as the 4300 replacement

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

 

[SDL98]

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.

Hi Guys,I thinking about getting into brushless oval racing and I have a question,what does "sintered" mean?Thanks

 

[JDW]

It is what they are made of then Nickel-plated .They are smaller but run cooler and are stronger.

So the deal is the 4300 up graded rotor and 13.5 rotor is the same?

Both black and have the front shaft for the bigger bearing.

Call Novak up Last I heard they where repalcing for free the endbell and bearings on the first batch of motors that went out by mistake
not real sure an what all needs to be done though with them

 

[brian0525]

E-mail Charlie at Novak and give him the serial# off the motor that you have and if it checks out to be one of the few that had the small bearing and older rotor they will ship you a new one no charge!

My 13.5 motor is the newer one with the big bearing I was just asking if the rotor that comes in the ss4300 upgrade kit is the same rotor as the 13.5 rotor.

I have been told that the ss upgrade rotor and endcap with the big bearing has been discontinued.
