I recently got 2 Team Br00d armatures, 8x2, standard, for V2, asphalt, touring cars. One of them was 2mm shorter than the original V2 armature. When I aligned it in the magnetic field in the can, it settled far from the endbell, so only part of the brushes contacted the commutator. Clearly, this was not meant to be a V2 armature. The shop was kind enough to change it for a new V2 armature, even though they claimmed that YOU said all armatures are the same and they fit all motors! That's weird, as in your site you divide them into different categories... This time, size was right, so both armatures fit properly inside the can. The problem is that they look and perform as well (or, should I say, as bad) as machine wound armatures. On the dyno and in the track. In fact, they are only as fast as my standard (Orion and Peak) 12x1 motors. This is sad for an aftermarket product that's supposed to outperform the "stock" manufacturer armatures... Thanks for nothing Team Br00d
