Rc Driver 10-21-2006, 10:38 PM Any other tips, i dont have acess to a lathe and i do clean the brushes and motor regularly.
latemodel100 10-21-2006, 11:08 PM Thats about all the stuff I know for NON Rebuildables, that is one of the reasons noone around here uses them anymore..........
mr_meat68 10-22-2006, 01:07 AM i have just the lathe you need to make that motor gain some HP. i'll let it go CHEAP.
Manning 10-22-2006, 09:39 AM No lathe, nothing you can do to make the motor faster.
If you did have access to a lathe....... you can pop the endbell off rather easily to true the comm. Hold the can with the endbell up / motor shaft down, and smack it on something hard. The endbell will pop right off..........
Bend the tabs out a little to replace the endbell, then bend them back down. You may have to use a tiny bit of superglue to hold the endbell tight.
IndyRC_Racer 10-22-2006, 11:56 AM I've seen lathes that could cut a non-rebuildable motors WITHOUT taking them apart. I don't know who made them, but you might try contacting a company like Cobra (http://www.teamcobra.com/cobra/comlathes.htm). Hope that helps

Can it turn regular arms?
How much?
Can I email you?
I don’t know how to use the Hobby Talk mail option.
mr_meat68 10-23-2006, 03:05 PM replying to your e-mail right now bro
guver 10-23-2006, 05:48 PM 2 different holders, 1 is v blocks for arms . The stock motor lathe has a motor can clamp for doing it in the can. Both methods work fine.
doubledeuce 10-24-2006, 10:59 PM Back in the old days, all stock motors were crimped together and the lathes designed to cut the comm in the can were called "stock" lathes.
