Question for the experts: is the "new" NSR Shark 28K motor in essence just an old 25K Shark with a new can and wrapper? Reason for asking: the NSR Shark cans are typically just that bit wider than Slot.it motors, so when you use one in a Slot.it sidewinder pod, the axle is right up against the motor. So you have two options: use a reduced diameter Slot.it axle or create clearance by removing part of the wrapper and, if required, lightly grinding the outside of the can closest to the axle. I have recently started doubting the strength and straightness of reduced diameter Slot.it axles so, in preparing a sidewinder pod to test for the upcoming GT3 proxy, i removed part of the wrapper on a brand new 28K Shark motor to expose.... 25,000 etched on the can!
Even before this I was wondering if the 28K designation was due to a revised motor (over and above the much appreciated fixing holes in the can) or an admission of an inaccuracy in the nominal rating of the motor. This now tends to support the rating option.
Anybody have any insights?
