Excellent motor. Seems to run better the hotter it gets. It seems a tick faster than the Komodo, but not quite as smooth. I roll mine out usually about a tooth or 2 higher than a KD. Medium length semi technical carpet track I roll out at around 27.4mm. Q brushes on the motors are great and last a few more runs than a KD will.

Stock up on some "q" brushes. If you're looking to order from a tuner, try
www.teamfullthrottle.net . Bill does a great job with these motors, has agreat price, has q brushes in stock for a great price, and ill ship overseas if needed. PM me if you would like any additional info on the motors or setups. I'd be happy to help.

We have been using that motor in Florida for years...its awesome and one of the few they can surveive a season in our heat.
We run Trinity XXX silber brushes in them with really stiff Orion Black springs. The brushed will last 15-20 runs. Just cut the comm every 2 runs and brush off the brush face with a fiberglass comm stick. They are sick fast in sedans gears around 5.8-6.0 FDR.

I would check with orion regarding a replacement arm.
Or Tower & Stormer (since they carry the product range).
Let me know once you find it ‘cos I’m looking for a replacement arm myself
