Oh yeah and $30 dollars is insane for a comm cut. My lhs charges $3.00.
Ya I know!!! I am getting 4 motors and a extra armature and I hope he will give me a deal on cutting them. Like $20 for everything.

I purchased a used comm lathe for 30, a very good deal. With everyone moving to BL, you can pick up lathe's for cheap.
But I dont have a power supply.

I heard of comm sticks. Do they work good and is there anything else that I will need when I maintain my motor? I already have bushing oil.

I am thinking of using the bearings in a Peak 13X5 I am gonna get a put them on my p2k2 motor. How much of a difference will that make?
