This debate went on a long time ago, on one of the other forums, between Big Jim and Rick. Mike Walker of Twister, for whom Jason and I used to wind felt the same way as we do, and Big Jim. I have an "Old School" welder that was made for me by the same company that made them for Neil McCurdy and Barry Hendrick of B&R Motorworks. I use the same brazing rod and we epoxy dip and bake using the same epoxy and metod that was used at Twister. If you want to believe that it's the epoxy that holds the wire to the comm, that's your preogative. If you want to discuss this further with Jason and I, we can hook up at one of Charlie's races. Until then go back to you own sponsor's thread.

Look I have been in the industry since the early 90s and know all about motor building ..
Until you have wound, welded and baked an arm that has won a world championship than you can tell me about building motors...I was working for Orion when Rhienhard won the worlds and yes it was silver soldered by ME and Dipped by Me and hand wound on a Quillen winder by Derek Furutani....
Most arms made by Orion are welded with the same "type" of welder your talking about..
And yes the epoxy holds the wire from coming off the end tab...
No need to talk you seem to know it all... Now do you guys have any problems with 7 turns blowing up? I thought so ..Not very many offroad guys run them..
You guys are super sensative about other peoples opinion's...
Your additude towards me shows your true colors about your company and your views towards other people..
I wish you good luck with your first world championship that will NEVER come..

I didn't end up winning, but I would've for sure without mechanical failure... 
I hit Rev for some n#$%* action Sat. 1st time with a 1/8. I bought an 8ight used for 275 and got a engine for $20 at Pegasus when they were having their garage sale a month back.
Started 3rd in the Expert A, behind Adam Drake and Levi Jackson. Worked my way to 2nd within a few minutes, then started battling with Adam. At one point over the ski jump, he passed me by literally using my car as a landing pad, square on. I was a little bit irked at the fact that it caused my car to spin out and he kept going, but I knew I could catch up
. He was having trouble staying consistently fast, and I passed him at about the 9:00 mark. I was really in a groove then and was turning consistent 31s-33s laps. A lap later, I had about a 5 sec lead on Adam (almost 2 straights) and over 1/3 lap on Levi, when my receiver pack wire broke and ended my race... 
Oh well At least I showed I can lay it down. With my $20 garage sale motor too!

Wow, great running killer, that is the way to lay it down. I did not get to race this weekend but got a little practice in on Sunday at the stadium so that was nice.
