And i heard diff diameter of the commutator makes a diffrence? In this case will the monster go quicker when you cut the comm down to a certain diameter?
SOrry for the ignorance.

motor spring
To all motor guru's out there, I notice with most stock motor
builders they use hard spring's on the neg side of the motor
I have a few motor's from different builders and the neg side is much harder than the pos side, what I notice is in the first min
of the race the motor will be fast but from that point on the motor
get soft, and to the end of the race it get worst, what I think is that the spring is too hard so it put a drag on the armuture and that will slow the motor down when it get hotter, on the dyno
the motor looks good but in a race it not as good, can any motor
guru give me a good setup for a stock motor with spring for a short tight track.

I have the best of luck with the 767 on both sides of all motors. After the serations wear off, I drill a 5/32 hole in the center of the brush. It keeps the brush face clean with no arcing or burnt marks on the brush. Try it, no jig needed, just hold the brush in your hand, make sure you hit the center and drill with your hand. I have a small Pin vice (drill bit holder) and I just turn the bit with my fingers.
Try it and see how clean your brushes stay.

I'll drop a laydown endbell with 767's on it this weekend and run it back to back too with stand-up 729/766's to see if it really is the stand-ups that made the difference or the higher timing.
I'll give the 5/32 hole a shot after a few runs and see how it goes.

Hi!
I bet everyone wants that stock motor perfoms well, with little tuning or not tuned at all.
Just read forum at following link, maybe then you have more to think about stock motors.

Just my 0,02 cents

if you have a trinity monster, use the red and green springs on it to give it more power. use the red on pos. green on neg. if you want more torque, like in a truck, use both red springs. if you run it in a buggy, use green springs on both sides, for more rpm.

I was running a green spring on both positive and negative.....Was out motoring the field until it "got soft" causing me to turn too soon, resulting in a turtle predicament

Just want to ask if this purple and lavander colored spring have the same hardness/tension.
