[QUOTE="ciaonzo, post: 6443644, member: 607015"] Hmm... A REVO with an LMS coil? It wouldn't be a REVO anymore then. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] It seems there's a lot of confusion about what a TC-9 really is so let's see if we can agree on a couple of things to help get a standard going. It would be great if Kyle or Thilo would stop by and put us all in line but we'll do our best without them . For me, a TC-9 is obviously a 3" coil motor. It has either two .75" slugs or two 1" slugs, measuring 1.5" and 2", respectively. It has a top plate with a thickness of 12mm and a gap of approximately 6mm (5mm for early versions with .75" slugs). It may or may not have a shorting ring in it and it can be copper or aluminum, the location and task is the same for either.
