Just curious as I am running stock sedan on carpet and I have a beginning-to-get-worn Monster Stock. Therefore I need to grab a new stock motor and I am debating whether just to grab one or two "tuned" Monster Stock's.

Thanks.

i think its safe to awlays have a spare motor sat in your box..you never know what could happen, a peeled comm, cracked magnet, bent armature.

yes they sound crazy but they are doable...

i have 2 specs, about 4 mods and have 1 stock atm, will soon have another 2 stocks.

you should just buy a stock motor just in case but for the worn down stock you have just ask some one at the track to cut the commutator and change the brushes. i have 4 stocks and 1 19 turn

and they say brushless is too expensive...... Please

1 motor for the last 2 years of weekly racing.

not really in the LONG run brushless is cheaper. what i mean by long run is 2 YEARS. it will take you 2 years to equall the amount you spend for brushes you get every 2 weeks of weekly racing

u can either buy a motor, cut your old motor, or just buy a new comm for it^_^. But if your not sure, then just go buy a new one

What I have:

2--- 27t monster stocks
1--- 27t Epic Binary stock
1--- 27t P2k2 pro

About 3 spare armatures for stock.

Just 1 Reedy 19t Quad mag.

If youre worried about wearing down the comm too much, too quickly, run harder, less silver content brushes and lighter springs.

We always practice with our 19Turn motors no matter what class were racing, then use the race motor for that race, no wear & tear on the race motors, & no need to drag the lathe to the track.

I like most people have way too many motors. At any one time I will have at least:
2 GM3's
2 PK2K's
2 BS
2 Epic Roar Stock
and 4 Monster Stock

Which motor I use depends on the track layout and conditions. I carry more Monster Stocks because they are probably the best overall motor and i would hate to be stuck without one.

I have motors that are just for practice and i have motors that are just for race night. I will also buy one or two of each motor just for testing purposes (setups and stuff).

I just started racing 19T so I don't have to carry a bunch of different stuff, i just went out and bought 6 Reedy Quad Mag 19T.

I would have 2 to 3 race motors and 1 junk practice motor. Don't buy all monsters, although having 2 in your box cannot hurt.

If you are really trying to sort out a setup sometimes running a 19t can help exaggerate the handling problems.

Last weekend I had only 2 stock motors in my box, my others needed some work and I left them at home, both went bad and had to borrow a 3rd.
