...And one more post for a while.... is there some sort of brush serration tool that you can re serrate old brushes and use them again? Im on a tight budget or i would already have a good lathe and a stock pile of brushes and springs

Go to ProMatch for the serration tool. It's actually two pieces found on 'Products' / 'Motors and Accessories' page.

If the brushes have not turned color then re-use them. Be sure that they are still long enough for use.

ok cool... and is it right for me to assume that the blue piece gets bolted to the motor and the cutting bit part is like a pinion and run it on just a few cells or low speed with the brush getting cut against it?

NEW -- Trinity modified motors. 2 part# 2003 Enduro 19 turn, 35,000rpms and 1 part# 2014 Top Fuel 11 turn 47,000rpms. $10 per motor shipped or $25 for all three

I'm interested in getting these motors but I dont know anything bout them...the seller said its 89 time frame...that means these motors made around 1989...I dont get it....i thought there's no real RC back in 89...but thats just me.

Is this worth?

Thanks

Mark- as a matter of fact, hardly anyone here, including myslef has bought any yet. We are all waiting for the pro versions. I did put one on my dyno, and play with it, but it wasn't that great.

I have a robi, so I can't accurately compare numbers, I was just basing it on what Big Jim and other ppl on that thread have said. My P2K was about 10 percent better than the P2K2 I tested...I am surprised they aren't better...Maybe the pro's will be

That is how it is done.

I use a Pro Tech charger that has current variable control. I set the timer for a few minutes and adjust the current for low RPM's.

Hello,
Is it very bad to run a motor undergeared? Will it kill the motor? When I come back with one pack I can touch the heatsink for perhaps 2 seconds before it becomes unbearable. I guess that should be the correct gearing huh?

So, what does everyone think of these motors? I managed to pick up a couple of them pretty cheap, and am thinking about dropping one into my TC3 and one into my RC-10B3, any thoughts? Currently, I run a Spitfire stock in the TC3 for stock class racing, and it's getting a little tired....

JB

cool thank you, and i didnt even think about using a charger output as a mock battery with a steady flow of electricity

my question above?

thanks

ZXT,
I think they're just too old. Save your money and buy something more up to date.

I have motors dating back to the early '80s. I use brushes that are easier on the commuters. I believe these brushes have graphite and high-silver in them. What a difference it made with my old Kyosho 240ST.

I have GM2's, a D2, and some kinwald mod, red lable...Don't know when that's from!

hey guys. quick question. i am looking to get a motor lathe for x-mas. whats a good one to get ahold of and a good place to order one from? i don't want a super expensive one, but no a cheapone either. looking for something decent thats worth the money.

also, anyone got speed secrets for the p2k2 yet? mine's fast, but not enough (but what is?)

thanx.

I wish I had one of Big Jim's checkpoint motors, but that was way back when I wasn't getting goodies from the USA.

I've got a Jr's Choice motor from the JRX2 Pro-formance LWB kit(Thats almost the way it was spelt, "Proformanance" on one side), a Reedy "Blue dot" from the '89 off road worlds(it won the last final) and there should be a Revtech "Express" lurking there in the dust...along with 1200SCR's, SCE's and Panasonic P170's.
