Question on F Brushes
How long should it take to break in F brushes?
I noticed the ones I got from LHS have really sharp edges on the serrations. Is this normal? Seems like it takes a long time to break them in enough to get good current flow.
I tried them on CO27 and Epic X-stock. Purple springs + and Red springs -
Seems like it takes so long I have to cut the comm again and rebreak them in again a couple minutes.
Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

I am running a ft tc4, last year I used the monster stock and at the end of the winter season I used the co27. I have never had the chance of using a good tuned motor though. Is there really that big a difference between the trinity pro motors and the tuned motors by brOOd et al? Anyways season starts up next month and I am looking to get some motors and suggested rollouts or fdr's for them.

A bit of a noob question... but who makes the f brush? I tried a search but it ignores the f.... How does it stack up against Trinity's 4499's? I am going to be running TC this winter with either a CO27 or a Monster. Thanks

Thanks for the info! I will check into it
What's the position on magnet zappers? Are they worth the dough?

Thanks, so there is some performance and a bit of money to be had *L* I wonder how long it would take to get 130 zaps?
What other tools would you recommend? I bought a Hudy Lathe with a diamond bit, and I have a GFX for break in... although I prefer my old Victor with the variable rate run in. I was looking at getting a Fussy brush setup for doing brushes... what sizes would I need for stock?
I appreciate you taking the time to answer questions

What kind of brush / spring combos are you guys using on your monsters and C027's?

Im running 12th scale with a monster stock.
I tried f brushes with red springs last week
but it seemed to be pulling to many amps.
When i went back to 4499 it drew less amps
and was faster on the track.
Also want to try the co27,anyone have a good
setup for 12th scale. I can get the motors to pull
alot of amps but this doesnt seem to work well in 12th.

your best bet for setting up the co27 is to use f-brushes and a red spring on the + and a green on the -. this is a good set-up for the needs that are describing. also the motor could also be pulling too high of amps because your motor bushing could be a little tight on the armature shaft. so if it is, polish the bushings and try it again to see the amp draw.

ARMATURE BALANCING
Hi Fellows
Just a quick question about motor balancing. Once you have purchased a new 27T motor that has been setup and had the armature balanced by one of our top motor tuners. Is there any need to have the armature rebalance throughout the motors life. If so how would you know that the motor needed to be rebalanced a what improvements in performance you would except from the motor.

I highly doubt that the motor would go out of balance over the course of it's life. If it wasn't balanced properly to begin with, that is a different story...
