Is the Tri-Fire CDI and RMStator CDI the same?

Other than color (Tri-Fire is Teryx green, or something similar), they look and sound to be very similar:

RM Stator description:

Anyone tried an RMStator CDI?

Seems it even has the brother-in-law switch, just like the Tri-fire, and at $125 is priced right...

just my opinioin, but i dont see much a difference in any of the cdi boxes on the market. they all do the same thing really, raise the rev limiter. its not like one adds 10hp and another doesnt

I tend to agree, as long as they're reliable.

One thing I like about both these is that they keep the circuit that prevents shifting into 4WD when moving. IMO, the drivetrain is not designed to do that, and there's a reason why the factory CDI prevents it. I understand Dynatek and some others don't prevent this from happening...

The original Tri-Fires required you to put you foot on the brake to start it (except in neutral) just like the stock one does, though I think this feature has been removed on the later ones.

Also like the "brother-in-law" switch, just in case...

Some safety features I appreciate -- but governors aren't necessarily one of them. having it "switchable" via the BIL switch is kinda the best of both worlds, IMO...

i may get the tri fire next, i had the black rhino performance box and it took a crap on me the last ride...it was a long tow home

I have the RMstator CDI. Ordered it last month off of ebay. I really think it is the tri-fire. I do not see the tri-fire on the Hunterworks page anymore. The RMStator description is exactly the same as the Trifire and I must admit my Rhino starts really fast. I had one of the older RMStator CDI's before -- dated to around 2006. It worked good but did not have the Valet switch. I ordered a new one for the switch mainly since my 11 and 13yr old girls like to rev it up...
