I havent found any advantages to diagonal serations.
Plus check out tribo drops.They arent your typical comm drop.They do help with performance a bit but also keep things clean and everything last longer.I did my test on my slave motor on my lather to see and it's true.

I reserrate between race days and can usually get up to 24 runs out of a Pair of Putnam's before they are noticably shorter (1/16" ?)., so about 2 rebuilds worth. Just follow the serrator instructions for the technique. It usually only take a few seconds for each Brush and they don't even need to removed from the Hoods.
Thanks Pops for the info... I will give it a try. What Putnams do you like for 19turn motors... blues/greens?

Default Tribo Drops

Guys;

I testing with 'Tribo' Drops, I have found that they will cause severe pitting of high Silver content Brushes.

Makes for a better Bearing/Bushing lube than Com drops in my opinion.

gcooper;

My only 19T is an Orion 'Element' and I used Trinity #4503's. They made good power so far, so no reason to experiment yet.

I recently used Tribo for the first time. I used it in a 19 spec motor with extreme high silver brushes (trinity #4379) and there wehere flames coming out of the motor? For a few secs it wouldn't even spin around???

I normally use and will in future (after this incident) Zubak's SpeedJuice. I tested it on a dyno and the results are great with them! You can get them on www.speedjuice.com.

I've won a lot of races using them. They give you more power and more rpm and keep the wear on the comm low!

HeY!!!


i also use the tribo w/ the 767s and me and a few other people where i race use a special cut in the brushes which increase the rpms. now w/ the tribo and thr special cut we out power just about everyone and also if the motor is good (the motor can magnets) the motor that i have now aint the greatest but it's alright.
