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.
Most motor brands didn't make their own cans or endbells. A thread with the options they had to choose from might be interesting. My intention is to just have a sample of each variation of the parts.
Starting with motors using Yokomo parts. Reedy...

I'm also going to lump together Diamond and Tomy for no particular reason.

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.
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...
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...

yeah they are mirror pair, I think 1's green and the other 1's red... dunno today, BiTD used to buy original Trinity.
I'm throwing this together at the request of another member. This is just some of the stuff that I do, so take it for what it is. If someone has any ideas to add, please do so.
I rummaged through my stuff and found this crusty Peak Racing 12X2. It...
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👍
Back in the 90s I used to have a motor dyno that I would like to find again.
From what I can remember it was about 6x9x2 in size. Two sweep needles One for amps and one for rpm. The motor sat facing into the box and was held with 3 finger screws....

The Shinwa Motor Dresser allowed you to measure amp draw versus rpm. I was great when determining the differences in brush cuts and motor timing.
