I started this thread for anyone who has any questions about any of the products that Hurricane has to offer.

The batteries they offer are some of the best around. The prices for the quality of cells you get is very hard to beat.

There is also a "Satchel of Cells" which is 3 packs or 18 loose cells of 1.150 to 1.159 voltage...at a low price...this is great for just getting started or practice packs.

They also offer what I think is "THE" stock brush its there "GOLD" brush. I have yet to find a brush that runs as good as this one does in a sedan.

If you have any questions or comments please leave them here and any of the team drivers along with Brad Johnson the owner will stop by and help you out.

The website is www.teamhurricane.net you can place orders there aswel

Does Hurricane have a 50 pair bulk pack? 100 pairs is kind of too much for me. How is the wear on the comm with the "Gold" brush?

Brian McGreevy · 10-31-2003, 06:45 PM

I personally have to agree with Kevin that the Gold brushes are THE brush to run in stock. The comm wear is actually quite good. You can get anywhere from 2-4 good runs before a rebuild, my experience anyway.

James....Im sure they could work something out just give them a call for pricing on it.

James Nguyen · 10-31-2003, 07:04 PM

cool, i'll try calling tomorrow morning.

Super Steve · 10-31-2003, 08:01 PM

how much are the shipping cost for the brushes?

Kevin K · 10-31-2003, 09:13 PM

Steve...that would all depend on how many pairs of brushes you were looking for and where they where going. Your best bet is to Email them through the website or give them a call with all that info so they can give you the correct amount.

Hi,

are the "gold" brushes for laydown-type motors only or is there a version for stand-up motors, too?

Thanks,
IH

kevin/hms..

what happened to the motors? i thought hurricane had stock motors?

just wondering...

Mercury Racer · 11-01-2003, 06:55 AM

Do they specialize in battery matching only ?

how long have they been in operation.

thanks

Mercury Racer · 11-01-2003, 07:00 AM

are these the same batteries being offered also by team paradigm?

Kevin K · 11-01-2003, 11:56 PM

IH....the Gold brushes are only for laydown at this time I dont know if they will offer them in stand up later or not I will check and get back to you on that.

Nexus....they did have motors at one time but not anymore.....they are in connection with Paradigm so they handle the motor part. But they do offer brushes and rebuild parts for stock and mod motors just not full motors anymore.

Racer....Yes the main focus of Hurricane right now is battery matching. And yes these are the same cells being offered on the Paradigm web page.....Hurricane and Paradigm have a relationship because hurricane does not do full blown motors any more and paradigm does not do batteries so they work with each other....but are not the same company.

What's the difference between the red and blue comm drops?

BJohnson · 11-02-2003, 07:29 PM

James - The Blue Thunder Comm Drops (HMSBTCD) are strictly for breaking brushes in. Whereas the Red Lightning Comm Drops (HMSRLCD) are for stock motors and we actually put a drop of them on the commutator before we set the car on the track and after we have fully broken in and seated the brushes.
