I'm watching this 10 years after the video and wish I had gotten into RC earlier and rebuilt these brushed motors for no other reason than I want one of those mini-lathes. Hell, I might just go on-lin and grab one of these little puppies for free. I imagine they could be used to build links for crawlers and other vehicles...
Don’t use electric spray cleaner! It’ll create a goo all over everything! Not the same as Nitro RC cleaner! It’s why they’re a $12 difference in price! You will regret it! Are the can magnets tuned for a specific turn com? Can you use a cheap motors com in a nice can and bell,and Will it make a difference? I have a bunch of old motors that in 99-2002 were almost $200 each but they don’t work anymore. Most are the com! Thanks! Any info is greatly appreciated!
i have read the comments ,just want to be sure as it did not come with a charger and its my first modern transmitter thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out
Great vid! Do you have any experience of using Tamiya commutator cleaning brushes? I’m trying to use the stand up cleaning brush kit on a Super Stock TZ - only replacing one motor brush (+ or -) at a time - but cannot get the motor to spin when the cleaning brush is attached. What am I doing wrong?
Very informative video, very useful and great job. Please post other videos on ex brushed motors and their related tools. So nice to learn as much as possible. Thanks
Hey, sadly they haven't been made in over 20 years. I have however created a 3d printed variation. If you're interested, send me a message on Facebook.
I remember this. This is right up there with cutting down foam tires before a race. Also recall this was invaluable when a brushed motor would cost you $50-$80 and cutting the com and rebuilding was worth it. Nice video
i ordered this from AsiaTees it took a while to get to me and it arrived broken. Now I'm waiting for another one, Hopefully this one will be able to use.
I had no idea something like that little lathe even existed and that you could do this. Very cool stuff. Re-winding brushless motors is a snap once you've got the technique down, but now I'm moving from RC flight into RC bash trucks and 'unfortunately' started life with brushed instead of spending the extra on brushless, and now it's rebuild/replace time. I _just_ invested into a nice 80a brushed ESC, too.
The hobby died when everything went to brushless and lipo. Used to run modified carpet oval. Most fun was rebuilding motors and building them trying to find more rip. Thanks trinity for ruining the hobby. Hope your courtside seats at the magic games are fun. Brushless was supposed to lower costs in the hobby. What a joke
I followed this tutorial yesterday. After installing I had steering but no drive. I had everything as it should. A-A and so on. When I hit the throttle the motor wouldn’t turn and got very hot very quickly. Turns out that the abc wires on the motor and the esc were not in the correct order and I was reversing the polarity. I now have A-B and B-A and it’s working perfect now lol
I’ll have to double check mine later but that obviously sounds wrong. I’d say to double check your instructions & if they say A-A then contact HW support. Mine was a pre-production item.
