EddieO,

What is your opinion on my using the stock Monster springs on my Br00d ProStock motor for 1/12th scale stock racing?

Bill the Red and Green Spring are a great combo on Eddie's motor's for 1/12th scale.
If the track is more spread out and faster you might even try a Green on Both Sides.

I did the same thing to one of the Motor's Eddie Sent me and it's a screamer.Im actually at Green/Green due to our track being 100x60 and pretty fast right now.If it tightens up I may have to go back to red but for now I dont see it.

I also Took an exacto blade and put the tip in the VERY center of the - side brush.Start twisting the blade into the brush making a Hole.
You Probally wont notice alot but it did help on brush wear and Motor Temp just a tad bit.

You will notice you will get MORE runtime when switching to softer springs due to Effic gains.

Goodluck running 1/12th with the monster.Eddie makes some VERY NICE motor's.

When cleaning the motor remeber to clean the brush hoods as well when cleaning.

Hi TexRacer,

Thanks for that information.

I am cleaning the brush hoods out with my comm stick. Is that all you mean about cleaning the hoods?

The Stockton carpet track is 48 x 110.

TexRacer hit it spot on. The red/green spring combo is usually always a decent place to start with any stock motor. Genrall for sedan you'll go stiffer, but it's still a gfreat starting point. Lately I've been running trinity 4499 brushes with a verticle slot in them. And green springs all around. Worked alot better for me than a full brush and red/green.

anyword on when the website will be opened? I'd like to get some specs on the stock motors. Are you going to send any of these motors to England? How can I buy one or two now to test them out? PM me ok. Thanks.

Korey,

Can you expand on why the 4499 brushes and green springs all around? I don't know much about electric motors.... and haven't really tweaked anything on the motor on 1/12th. I pretty much just tell Eddie what I need the motors for and he send me the appropriate ones.

1/12th scale uses only 4.8 volts, which in effect causes the brush to bounce less on the comm, so you use less tension without worry of additional arching.....and in a lower voltage application, all a stiffer spring would do is put additional drag on the comm and you will actually LOSE power.

I usually start with red/green for 1/12th scale on monster or epic roar stocks....now if its a fairly open track, I will drop the tension to reduce drag on the comm even further....usually a green/green...sometimes even tweaking the negative spring to be slightly less than a normal green.

Got it. I do remember running the lightest springs I could find when we ran 1/12th Mod.

So why the 4499 brushes with the slot? I'm just using 767 full face with the C2 right now. Is this for stock motor only, or I can use them on my C2 too? Seems like everyone we are racing 1/12th with are getting Br00d power after seeing mine ran 2 weeks ago, so I'm going to need an edge.

I think the slot adds some power, but tat the same time reduces some friction. Acts very similar to a cavity I think. It Provides cooling as well to keep efficeincy up. I've never run slots in 19T, I generally just run a full face brush. The 4499 also gives the motor a touch more rpm than the reedy 767, at least thats what I found. Eddie can probably give a better explanation though.

My balancer is finally fixed.......had to fly Jim all the way up from California to get it working correctly.....

If you have a modified motor on order (including handwoud 19t), they will ship this week.....

Sorry for the delay....

Also, I have plenty of V2 based mods in stock.....

Website is gonna be up soon.....won't be much longer.
