Anyone have a source for decent replacement endbells for stock and modified brushed motors? I have quite a few motors with extremely nice cans *rimshot* that have horrid endbells.
I look around on eBay from time to time and see a few here and there, unless I am missing them.
It’s kind crummy to have a motor with a shiny chrome can, perfect heatsinks and brush guides, just to have an endbell that is half melted from the time whomever installed the caps jammed the soldering iron into the plastic.
I miss brushed motors in that hazy, everything seemed better when I was a kid, kind of way.
Inspired by aconsola's thread on the cool duratrax ballcup tool here
I thought I'd ask you chaps if anyone knows of someone/company/thing that makes a 540 brushed motor bearing replacement tool for the can and endbell bearings.
A question to you guys running modified brushed motors.
Once you have stripped, cleaned, possibly cut coms and rebrushed how are you setting your timing if you do not have a dyno?
I’ve got quite a few little used Trinity D3s and D3.5s and I’d like...

its a good question...not ignorant at all. i use a protech 701 with adjustable current. u can put a voltmeter on it and put it to 7.2v. if u keep your 702 on 6 cell should be just fine👍
I just got a cheap Surpass 17t motor & 60a esc combo for my Ultima. The motor wires are not attached and I want to make sure I set them up so the blue wire on the motor connects to the blue wire on the esc. I know where to connect them, just not...

If I had just seen the + on the end I would have been good. After I saw it I felt like an idiot for coming on here and asking :roll: Now to get it wired up and installed. I've had this Ultima for months and it hasn't had a first run.
I'm curious what my brushed motor weighed, I think it was a Parma 14x2 Cyclone? Anybody know the weight or that of a similar motors? My Novak 5.5 weighs 187g according to their website, which seems heavier. Thanks.
Just picked up an old buggy roller and it has a Peak Racing Illusion motor. Endbell says Epic on it and it appears to be fixed timing, but rebuildable. Any ideas as to the turns on this thing? My guess would either be 27 or 19, but don't know until...

Thanks. I got a minute to pull the motor and it said spec 27 on the end of the can. And, yes, it has bushings.
Would this be a decent motor if I cleaned it up and installed some bearings? The can reminds me of the Trinity Midnight2 and P2K that I...
I could use some recommendations on some older quality brushed motors. Looking for a few for the rc10s and rc10t, and possibly something for my lunchbox. I'd like a few wild and a few intermediate motors.

i can throw in that the fantom racing alloy mod motors are great(the link that drbelleville gave has em on page 2 or 3), my bro has one, and it hasnt let him down yet(maybe 10 packs through it on his t2) and if u wait for holiday specials, they go...
That's right, brushed motors!
A while back, I was running my RC10's on a back yard track, aprox 50'x30'. Needless to say, geared down stock 27t motors were the ticket. (geared maybe 18/85) At the time, the run time with 3800nimh was blowing my...

You may get close to the torque of a conventionally timed 27 turn.
What I mean by intractable is that the motor power band may be peak outside of the normal rpm you'll be running at, leading to the motor feeling like it is bogging down at certain...
Over the last week, I've started having some issues with my Trinity Chameleon 2 19T motor. The car runs fine for a few minutes and then starts to get slower and slower and then stops. If I pick the car up and fiddle with a brush spring, it will...
