Kinda what I thought.
Tim,
Use the KR arm in the V2 can. I have some checkpoint "Platinum" brushes that i can sand down to fit in the v2 tubes. It won't be easy but it can be done. Then use the fuzzy brush to cut the correct shape into the face, and you're off with long wear brushes in the v2 can!!

The Reedy can run rite down to a nub, just won`t dry out or burn....

Well, that may be true. I haven't ever had a pair of xxx brushes in a motor that long to find out.
I have never burned a xxx brush in any motor. I have changed them though to maintain performance due to lack of spring pressure when they get shorter....
I have heard that the reedy brush may be easier on the comm though. I haven't run a set.

Cuts down the center of an armature has been going on since the 80's....they rarely were used because of the loss in runtime....
As we got higher capacity batteries, companies started messing with things again....namely armatures cut down the center.... ORION used these armatures with great success at the 2004 IFMAR Onroad World Championships......
So, if anyone deserves credit to bringing them back to the market, it would be Orion.....
I can show ya pics from Big Jim that were dated back in like 2002 with a center cut armature (he also milled them horizonantly too).......
Keep the trash talk at home......nobody cares who had it first, especially in this case when its not even true...

Are you kidding me??
Curtis wound a couple hundred arms over a year ago for me when peter severly burned his hand....never any since....
I will GLADLY give ya a tour of my shop any time you are up in the area....
Peter winds majority of all the stuff that goes out of here, though I do get some arms done by other outside winders.....they just wind though, the balancing and such is done at my shop....
Peter winds probably 80% of what goes out......no different than Fantom, Checkpoint, Orion, Trinity.....everyone uses outside winders....
I can GLADLY have Curtis come on here and verify it if you would like.....
And Pitcrew is the one who machines my arms.....a local guy who races and runs his own machine shop. I tried to buy the unwound ones from Curtis, but his machinist was having a hard enough time keeping up with his demand...
Again.....15318 39th Ave Marysville, WA 98271.....feel free to come check out my equipment ANY time......and feel stupid later.
Did bitter get a new account? Idiot....

And for the record.....
I did buy a piece of equipment from Curtis....his extra power winder....we never use it though...
He offered me his spare balancer too.....I think Don Campbell bought it....

Mainly that the DC arms are just that DC arms.
I have done the machining on all of the lightened arms for br00d. It is a similar concept to what DC is doing, and many other motor companies have done. I have never even held a DC arm in my hand, only seen pictures on the net. I did something that was slightly different, and what the br00d guys and myself felt was different enough and maybe better.. RESULTS will tell.
I can tell you this. Peter Robinson does a hell of a hand wind. Br00d does wind almost ALL of their own stuff, and they do it to your order. Same with stock motors. I see them building them specifically to what the customer wants when they are ordered. I have never seen a bunch of built motors laying around.
