Hey Todd....
I have a bunch of Green Machine 3's.....What brush and spring combo would you recomend.......Its for oval racing on a large banked track....(No Lifting)(4 Cell)..............Thanks............

Bud,
Start with our #EFB-180's, with a red spring on the positive and a green spring on the negative. The 180's are our green/blue brush combo w/ the trailing edges removed...

That'll do the trick.:thumbsup:

i would never put putnam brushes in my car for some reason every time i do i cant seem to keep the front of my sedan on the track must be all the rip the brushes make :p

Todd.. i have been using putnams for quite some time in stock.. i see most of the guys like the blue green combo.. i have never had any luck with the split.. in fact the only putnams i really like are two greens... is there a ticket to using the slpit compounds??? thanks

Burbs

It IS the way to go!!! I ran the blue/green combo every week at Trackside in stock. (all my 47-lap runs were on that combo)

Burbs: You'd have to give me more info on why the blue/green combo didn't work for you in order me to diagnose what you're doing wrong.
Many make the mistake of thinking max power on a Fantom is key, when in fact that dyno no longer is accurate. If you're using a Fantom dyno, don't...you'll only chase your tail. Any dyno that you cannot "repeat results" with is useless.
Another common mistake is to only look at the motor prior to the run, ie: tune it to be killer before the run, but not take into considertation of how much it deteriorates throughout the run. You need to make sure your tune up lasts the entire run...No sense in being ballistic for the first half of the race if you fade late in the race. The blue/green combination offers great power throughout the entire race.

Feel free to call me at the shop if you want to discuss what your doing wrong, I'm sure we can solve it quicker by talking than typing...:thumbsup:

Race Update: The blue/green combination just won all 3 classes at "The Classic" at St. Rock this past weekend: 1/12th Stock, 1/10th Stock and 1/10th 19 turn, (C2's mandatory).

Todd.....Is there anyone who sells the Blue/Green combo together ....I like to purchase bulk baks of 10.....

Todd puts it all together in the National Champ Kit. Other than that. You can just buy bulk greens and blues.

Hey todd...
Will this combo work in the Montser Stock...I mean the purple endbell
handout type...Have a few of these.....Im switching to stock from 19T....So I am kind of new to this stock tuning......

So far the Best luck I have had is with the 180's like Todd said, Start with a red and green spring, but don't rule out trying 2 green springs. My fastest 2 runs in stock have been with 2 green springs, and the 180's. If you have the full face blue and green brushes, just manually remove a small amount from the trailing edge, put em in and let er rip. Anything else feel free to post.

Bud: Yes, Just Like Patch posted: Start with a pair of 180's and a red and a green spring, for oval.

Todd i would like to know how do you know how much to take off the trailing edege versis the com size. Thanks Ken

OK Todd I will call ya.

Ken,
It depends on amp draw more than comm size. More amp draw does not equate to more power...
We start at about .180" (+/-) with the comms in the .290-.295 range. As the comm get smaller, we'll take more off if the amp draw increases. The max amp at 2 volts is 9.5 amps with a fan. Any more than that any your batteries are being wasted and excessive heat is the result...:thumbsup:

im a little confused with the term "trailing edge"...Do you guys mean just take a hobby knife and scrape the outside edges of the brush?......

bud3738....''trailing edges''....means...the part of the brush that trail when the com is rotating...simple rule of thumb...this is the part that usually has a black deposit on it....when looking outside toward inside the brush hood...this is the left side...we normaly use a small file or a dremel in low speed with a minidisc to file the brush...to take the brush narrower in its wide measurement...

Thanks todd I'll try that out guess i have to de tune a littel . Big oval race in enfield maybe will see you there Ken Boehm

Budd i have a integy brush slotter that i use it work's decent and not that expensive .I will show you some time . See you at the track soon Ken B

thanks guys.....looking forward to it kenny

So if the motor starts drawing more than 9.5 with brush cut to .180, do you keep taking off the brush until it gets at 9.5? How much would be too narrow?

Remove the trailing edge in .005" increments until the desired amp draw is reached. If you have to go much below .170", switch to our #EFB-160's, where the leading and trailing edges are removed.:thumbsup:

Todd I am going to talk with my dad and get an order ready and then leave you a message.

Thanks Jason H. :thumbsup:

what I have had good luck with is if the motor is drwing too many amps with the brush cut to .180, then I change springs. so far I like the way 2 green springs feel in a monster motor. Typically on a re-build I see between 8.5 to 9.0 on amp draw with the 180 brushes and green springs. the green springs also have a different feel to them, so it all boils down to personal preference.

Todd
Got your email yesterday and replied back.

Thanks
EH

Todd I left you a message today should I drop an e-mail.

Thanks Jason Hastings

I used a putnam blue green combo and purple springs...to TQ the stock class at the norrca nats in tenn last week... the motor had rip.. i did however use my special brush cut, which made them even more wicked then they were... i also finished 2nd in the a main with them.. i had a full lap lead in the main, but two spins, due to rolling off the throttle for lap traffic held me to second place... This was the first time i really got the blue green combo to work... The handout for the race, was the snowbirds motor.. i read Chris Ulbrick used this combo for that race, so i gave it a shot.. im glad i did.. Thanks Putnam for the RIP...

burbs: Thanks for the endorsement and the support. Glad to hear you've experienced the performance of Putnam Propulsion...:thumbsup:

jeff the two green springs will give you more rpm try a red on pos and green on neg you might like that better.and still have the rpm

I have ran both red on the positive, green negative, as well as greens on both sides. I deffinately like the greens on both sides better, but like I said it's all personal preference. Just something I didn't want people to rule out is all.

When running the blue green combo witch brush should be on witch side.

green + blue -

OK then help me out with this....

How do you tune a motor ( Monster based using Putnam gear) for more rpm vs. less amp draw?

Mongo

two green spings will give more rpm and less amp draw. a red and green sping will give more torqk. and rpm will all most be the same.

I have been running 2 purples...

Mongo

Smalls: You can trim about .010"-.015" off the trailing edge of each brush. This increases RPM, Torque and reduces amp draw. You can also try a .063 or a .078 cavity.

Hope this helps...

well....Finallly got some blue and green brush combo's....Built 2 motors last night following some of the suggestions posted here......Motors had some good numbers
on my Dyno....Looking forward to see the track performance.....Todd you put a great product and the feedback your posting is right on..........I raced Kisbeys stuff for the last 2 years but am switching over to your product.........Thanks Rick..

Rick,
Glad to hear it, let me know how you make out with your new tune ups.
Todd
ps: Kisbey doesn't have any proprietary brushes or compounds...

Well...
Ran the motors last night at the track...( Dyno's are nice but the real deal is the rip on the track)....I must say I was Pleasantly surprised....Took a tenth off the
my best times in the 1st half of the race.....Car did not drop off that much either at the end.........I am now sold the #180 combo is the best for stock motors.....
I have tried 767's..4383's..and..F brushes and the Putnam stuff is what I have found what works best..........Thanks Todd.....Im staying with your product.....
