in 27t there are all fairly similar and good gearing can be the key to long life, i have recently found the hellfire to have a very good brush life and the com even after 4 meetings is still more than useable.

i'm not sure on what to suggest as far as motors but the reedy quad mag is one of the best and most popular 19t's out thier right now, but as far as how many runs your gonna get on any motor i would say you could PUSH 10 runs on a 19t and stock motor before you wont be able to stand it anymore i personally skim my 19t every 3 runs and change brushes after 6 runs

Unfortuantely, I can't help you out with the 27t motor but I can with the 19t. I have two V2 motors. The Peak Dynasty and the Orion Element. I can easily get 25 runs before needing to change brushes and re-skimming the motor. They are not slow either.

I would use whatever stock motor best suits your track and if your allowed to use a v2 endbell and brushes.

I have 2 Trinity Monster Pros and used to own Trinity PK2K. The Trinity stock motors seem to require frequent com cuttings. The coms on the Trinity motors looked pretty dark and ready for cut after about 2 weekends. I bought an Orion Core stock motor and ran it 4 race weekends (2 qualifiers and a main) without cutting the com. When I finally broke down and finally had it cut, It probably didnt really need it, but I decided to get it done just in case.
I think the Monster Stock is a bit quicker than the Core, but the Core did not require as much maintenance.

aslong as the 27t stock motor is well geared then you should get about 20 4 or 5 min runs before preformance starts to falll off you could push 25 or 30 but the com will start to get damaged.
