Just wondered in anyone knows where in the UK i can pick up Brushes for chekpoints at a sensible price ??
The atlas brush is, what, twice as expensive as a regular brush and the long life is 3 times the money !!
I've been running the 4cell brush so far, as it's what comes in the motor and i assumed "best". I'll give the 6 CELL LONG LIFE INFINITY BRUSH a go but if burns up like the 4cell ones do i'm affraid i'll be going back to my Reedy and Trinity 19's
I'm guessing the infinity brush is like a lemans long life but i really do hope at the price, i can measure there life in weeks instead of races .........
Oh on a positive note i think the motor rocks, just can't afford to be installing new brushes every other run.........

Merciless, Microtech sell the Infinity for basically the same price as the XXX brush.
I'm getting 3 meetings to a set of brushes at the moment. My brother, who possibly doesn't push his motors as hard as mine, has just started running a Money motor. Will be interesting to see how much life he gets out of them.

Still, now I've found some infinity brushes, shouldn't need to change it too often
Looking forward to running the motor this weekend, interested to see what will work better at Halifax, this or my trusty EA C2's

Just put a shop towel or something over the nut and loosen it. Definitely don't use the bare pliers or you'll damage the anodizing.

This is the only porblem i have with the checkpoint .........
It's not slow, infact it has great punch and ok top end but look at the state of it after just 2 runs !!
Moving over to the "Mega Money" long life brushes now to see if they improve things at all
