Brushes
 

I want to cut the trailing edge of my new brushes, i have the cut off bit ready, but how much do i cut off?

...and how do you do this neatly...?

Huh? Bit? You can use a file to cut off 1mm - 3mm, thats all your really need.

the thing i'm wondering, is a a straight diagnal, or do you cut the entire brush down, so what is the lenght of it to start/to end(after cut)

i only cut my brushes for 1/12th scale...is this for your sedan?....depending on the comm size in sedan is usually if i play with the edges of the brush or not

Great diagram. :sweat:

thanks, that helped huge, i think i'll give it a try in practice tonite, i bought so many brushes on saturday i can experiment alot. Now i just gotta figure out which way the motor turns, i think it's clockwise.

pro3 its clockwise if your looking at it from the endbell side

1-3mm is alot. Usually just the tip is enough.
