I would like to buy a stash of spare brushes for it. Could you please let me know what type I am looking for.
I have no idea whether it is laydown, stand up, etc. I searched Ebay for "Reedy brushes" and there are loads
of options! If you could please help me find something or explain which variants are better or worse I would
kindly appreciate it!
Brushes are brushes and they will all come out of the same factories in China, you don't need to buy Reedy brushes for a Reedy motor. Take your pick on brushes, harder brushes will give you better performance but will damage the comm faster.
My personal choice has always been Reedy 737 and 767 brushes, in all my motors. Good all round brushes that last a good while and don't do much comm damage so can go a good while before skimming the comm to clean it up. The 737s are stand up brushes and 767s are laydowns, they are the same material, just with the face shaped to fit the two different orientations. You want stand up brushes for that motor, so 737s. I buy brushes in bulk as I still offer a rebuild service and as it is difficult to get stand ups in bulk I buy 767s and reprofile the face.
stand up brushes what you need,any one standup work but some are made to increase timeing.A laydown brush is basicly layed on its side and not as tall as standup.don
A few weeks ago, I ordered a new reedy 17t motor for my rc10. When the motor arrived, I looked it over and the only funny thing that I noticed about it was that the wires that lead to the brushes is very small compared to that of the the wire on my...

The EZ Run are the sensorless. The XE Run are the sensored. I have an XE Run in my mid motor XXX. I'm thinking about the EZ Run for my RC10 and perhaps other cars. I'm not really concerned about slight cogging starting from a dead stop. My concern...
Hey guys, I have a couple of Reedy Ultra series motors that need some new brushes. Does anyone have any suggestions or part numbers for oem or compatible substitutes? Is compatible substitutes kind of redundant? LOL! Hopefully tower hobbies has...

I wonder if anyone can help? I have been looking for those tiny ring terminals to crimp onto the end of some brushes. Rather like you may find on Reedy or Trinity old school brushes. Ideally copper, but anything considered. The usual searches throw...

Thanks but I am done searching as I only ever find large ones, even from specialist electronic part suppliers.
Just wondering if anyone knows any links before I give up. I can secure them without the rings, but it may be a little finishing touch....
This is a Trinity vintage motor using slot brushes. Infact the complete hardware on the endbell is different. From my knowledge this is one of the legendary motors made by Big Jim Greenemeyer when he worked at Trinity.

That´s easy to explain. The real Checkpoint motors were made by Big Jim Greenemeyer who was coming from slotcar racing as some other guys like Erni Provetti in the early days of RC racing. He sold the name later to the guys who are making the newer...
I came across a nice group of brushed motors from a dirt oval racer and there was a CAM super stock motor with some uniquely cut brushes. The sides were narrowed to allow the face to offset for more timing advance. I think it's really cool! I guess...

There was lots of brush cutting going on back in the day. Several companies sold precut brushes and brush cutting machines were also a thing so you could cut your own. Everything from slotted brushes for more cooling to holes drilled up the center...
This is my oldest motor I have at home. I bought this when we were on a travel through the UK and wanted attend a 1/12th race. Don´t remember exactly but must have been around 1980 I think. Maybe someone knows eaxactly when this motor was released....
I just swapped my Reedy M3 17.5 in my B6 for the Reedy S Plus 17.5. I have been delaying this because I was thinking a 17.5 is a 17.5, mine is still in great condition and I'm not going to spend a hundred bucks just to have the latest thing. Well, I...
I will have a search...
