Can anyone based on the provided pics tell what manfacture or turn of this motor is? End bell says epic, can is sliver with japan stamp on bottom. Has bearings so it can't be too cheap of a motor. What would be some good replacement brushes? Thanks

Some more pics of the end bell & can.

Epic is a Trinity based motor ( can & endbell is designed & made by Trinity)

Looks to have epoxied windings but drill balanced. Trinity mostly used epoxy balancing mostly on their hand wound mod motors . A outside pic of the can might help. Could be a old speed gems motor which is a budget modified motor.

Brushes are almost a vintage part now since brushless is so cheap to set up. I found these on the bay. You would want a standard brush ( Not lay down, Timed or others)

Standard brushes are interchangeable just the compounds are different. Best all round brush I used was the GM 03 Racing brush but these are good too.Just double check that these aren't lay down if you buy them.

I will post some more pictures tomorrow. So I can use any standard "stand up" brushes?

As an estimate, I would say that is a 12x1
