Sorry, but I do NOT believe that this is the problem. I had tried several different Brush cuts, etc, Spring changing and tweaking to no avail. What finally DID make a difference, was to get away from the Putnam Brush for this particular Motor.
Otherwise, I have ALWAYS found that Putnam Brushes make the most power on EPIC Stock Motors over any other brand. I should note that this was a BRAND NEW Monster Stock, tuned and properly broken in. Same track and Gearing I have always run with good results (I gear conservatively).
My first instinct was to think that "T" has changed the manufacturing spec or sub-contractor for the Arms and they are using a softer Copper for the Com's.
However, it is not uncommon for the Motor Tuners to buy Brushes in bulk from different manufacturers at times (then relabel as their own). Thus the reason for posing my query.
