Hey Matt is he still doin batteries ?

I do not own andy lightspeed motors but I have had great luck with the brushes. I think it was a 4000 brush?

ovalrookie Glad youike the motors 65 power on dyno is not bad remember some dynos are different than others. Its how it performs on the track that matters Dynos are a great tunning tool and for checking motors to see if the motor has dropped fo any. Try one of our 3910 brushes. XXXTMfman3 ...Yes he is still doing batterys the are top notch. If you need some give him a call. :thumbsup: Matt Bayless L.S

looks like the website is a few years old...

Glad to see Mark is doing well. Here in PA we dont see much of Lightspeed products anymore since R & D Hobbies isnt around. I do know that Mark WOUND THE NICEST ARMS EVER! Jim Beachley

I have had a lot of luck with the 4000 brush also no better brush out there

I run his batts and stock motors,I place in the top 3 every week at the track.Lightspeed batts stay strong threw the whole race.

Pancartom yes web site is alittle old but thats because Mark is so busy putting out great products.All our products are up todate .Just doing busniess old fashion way.People that has been racing our products like the one on one attn. wicked Rc Glad you like the batteries.

I received a private email about the two magnet epic stock motor we personal call it the cosmic.Try tuning them with two red springs and 3910 brushes.Drill a 1/32 hole in the face of the brushes. Brake in as 130sec. 2 volts no com drops.Spray out,oil it go race one heat.Place a fresh cut the com before main clean the brush .I dont reserate the brushes.Now add com drops if youd like.And you should have a great motor for the main.

Hey Everybody- My thanks goes out to Matt for starting this thread, and to all the nice compliments on our products. Wanted to post something here sooner, but just haven't had much spare time lately- Texas State Championship race is coming up this weekend at Mike's Hobbies in Dallas. I'll be at the races through the weekend, then I'll check in Monday night to see if anyone has a question that I might can help with. Here's some of the new products at Lightspeed:
GP 3700mah batteries- Wow! GP's 4th generation cell is awesome. We're getting 4400mah commonly, 1.18's (real time tests are over 1.20 Volts) and our custom battery zapper is helping set a new low ( that's s good thing) in cell resistance
Lightspeed hand wound Epic Cobalt series modified and 19 turn motors
" " " lightened 19 turn motors and arms (where rules allow)
" long life high silver brushes in laydown (#3940), stand-up (#4040) and large P94 (#3240) sizes- 8 runs on an 9 turn in touring carpet and still rippin'!
Lightspeed Epic based 'Cosmic' (ROAR), 'Stellar 2' (Monster), and 'Spec 19' (Chameleon 2) with latest batch of our #3910 high silver laydown brushes. This is the best group of motors I've ever tested. All are available in 'Select' and 'Blueprint Select' series.
I've been havin' a lot of fun and learning more each day testing how these new releases work in combination with each other. There's so much goin' on in competitive rc car racing these days- and I've only covered 'some' of the new electric stuff. There's a whole world of new nitro cars and motors out there as well.
I'll quit rambling now and go spend some time with my sweet neglected lady. We can talk about anything you guys want. I'll be back here Monday night about 9 central. Hope to hear from you then.
Sincerely,
Mark @ Lightspeed

Hey guys Mark is a great guy and has always sent me nothing but the best!!!!!!He tells it like it is and no lies!!!!!!!!Hacksaw

Hey Hacksaw- Just saw your post. Thanks for the endorsement If anybody is out there, I'd like to talk about batteries. Anyone tried the new ib 3600 or gp3700?

Mark I have not tried those yet. I called the other day and got your # from Jason, I think he said his name was. I will give you a call tomorrow about that.

But no. I have not tried these batteries.

Are you getting good results when matching them? It seems most matchers are holding off and waiting to test the IB cells.

Hi Jamie- We have tested and ran both over the last three weeks in tour car. Both are good but we got more consistent results from the GP's. We just started our match cycle on the bulk of them today- these are some awesome cells. The 20 seconds (30 amps) or so of extra runtime is not as impressive as the improved voltage and resistance. They all have voltage like the best 3300s we've seen.

Mark, I sent you a private message.

Mark your 3300s were awsome.I am sure ready for the 3700s voltage as good as the best 33s lets see more voltage and more run time what more could you want.

Does lightspeed have a web page?

http://www.lightspeedrc.com/

I was talking with Mark and he said he is getting great numbers from this latesest batch of batteries. If your local track lets you run 3700s check into getting some those numbers are looking extremely good.To order from Mark call him at {817}483-5776.

Mark the 3700 ran great strong all the way through.Your best to date.Was able to throw down lap times just as fast at the end of the run . Brushes flawless.No other way to put it.Going to need some 4000s and another 19 turn soon.

Hi Matt, Glad to hear everything is working for you. Do you think the sample brushes I just sent you run stronger than the 3910's that you had? I'll call you and Kenneth tomorrow on the stuff he needs for the nats. Just let me know on the 4000's and 19 motor. Mark

Had more rpms a little less power on the dyno like 2 points less .But they ran like a scalded dog on the track.They had it were it counts.The track.

Man I used Mark's stuff since the late 80's. R&D Hobbies when in business bought a ton of his products. I still to this day call and talk with Mark and order stuff from him. One of the best guys around and he only sends out top notch stuff. Everything is labeled and well packaged.

Brian

Lightspeed brushes is what me and Brandon had in our RAPTOR's courtesy of Matt......and HP is about the only thing we had 100% of @ the NORRCA Nat's! :)

Loved them!

Kenny@RAPTOR

Hey Everybody, Just talked to Matt this morning. He told me about all the interest in our #4000 brush. Sounds like they ran well at the ARCOR nats- Congratulations to Johnny Housley, Whit Wilson, and Lee Ricker for A Main finishes. A big thanks to Danny King for passing some of the 4000's out to people, and for all your support through the years. We've got a pretty good supply of them, but they are selling fast. If anyone is interested you can call or e-mail us. I'm curious if anybody is drilling, cutting or narrowing them and finding more performance. Also if any of the com drops are working better than others; or if many have found that running them dry is best. So, how 'bout it- let's share some ideas and see if we all can get faster.
New higher silver stock brushes are starting to make some waves. I thought we pushed this #3911 compound over the edge by adding too much silver. Our latest batch has a little change to the lubricant, and it's seems to be what was needed. Looks best on ovals and bigger tracks, while our old favorite #3910 appears to be best for low end power.
Fresh groups of 3300's and 3700's will be finished matching soon. GP's never looked better.
Matt's comments on motors and brushes are right on the money and he has become the most consistent and controlled test person we've ever had doing research to help us design a better product. Thanks Matt, your efforts are really appreciated
