turnigy trackstar 80a turbo sensored brushless manual

We took the Slash to the indoor track to see how it would perform, but unfortunately, we left the stock gearing in the truck. Also look below to see the RPMs gained from adjusting the timing. Just as a sensored brushless motor should perform. Check out the video to see how smooth the motor is at low speeds, even creeping along. It wasn’t as fast as the stock Slash motor, but it is a 17.5T motor after all and I could gain speed with gearing. I went out to do some testing with the new motor and was very pleased with its smoothness. It’s a good idea to pay attention to wire orientation to keep from having to redo the soldering job. I unsoldered the stock motor on the Traxxas Slash and soldered the dirty wires onto the TrackStar wire tabs. This could be remedied with a high silver content solder, or a bit of flux if all you have is tin solder. The solder didn’t want to stick to the tabs and just rolled off. The trackstar has three tabs which need wires soldered to them. Brass shims are used to correctly align the rotor.

The soldering points looked good, the magnet felt strong and clean, and both ends of the case used ball bearings.

Upon disassembling the motor, I didn’t notice anything unusual. The motor can is vented for super efficient cooling and also comes in a great looking red. See the dimensions in the image to be sure it will fit into your vehicle.
