All the batches of stock brushes we have used lately,just stink everything from the 4499,767, 766 even the old faithful green putnam cant find anything that works,i have been recutting year old brushes just to make power! any of you stock guys know where to get a good brush.
My sentiments exactly,,, I've been using old E brushes that I had bought in bulk,, these are the pre-big brush shortage ones... actually been using the same pair most of the season in 4 cell stock, just re-serrating them,, I don't know, I've got all kinds, some work not too bad, but these E's just seem to pull way better than anything else,, they worked well with the green2's, mid2's, p2k's,, I know a lot of guys have success with what you've stated, these have just worked better for me, using with monsters and green3's....I still never win ,but the motors ain't half bad, lol

I havent noticed a difference in performance with 767s as of yet. I bought a new pair saturday, so we will see if there is a bad batch going around.
We haven't had any trouble with Putnam brushes. I built quite a few motors at Snowbirds, all were pretty good. I assume you are running monster stocks. What kind of set-up are you using?? I can share some of the stuff that I have been doing...and maybe Mr. Putnam will chime in with some thoughts. I know I have seen some bananas patches of 4383's lately.
Lightspeed #3910 or 3917 are great I use them in all my motors green, monsters. 65 power out of the green machine and 67 out of the monsters. Rember not all fantoms read the same so a 70 power on someones dyno might be a 65 on another. Give them a try.
If you cant find them I have tons in stock. www.fastlanehobby.com

Shane, bring some of those with you to Chilli. I may need them.
Terminator: You may have a problem elsewhere, with a lathe,spray, etc; if no company's brushes are working for you. I can't speak on behalf of other companies, but the consistency in our brushes has been excellent from Keystone for the past year.
At the Snowbirds, we had 6 out of 10 motors in 19 turn, including top 4 qual. and top 2 finishers. This is the 4th year in a row we've won the 19 turn class. We also TQ'd and Won Stock as well. My point is you can't take on the Nation's best with an inferior product and yeild these results. We also just ran the St. Roch Classic in Canada this past weekend, where we TQ'd and Won both Stock and 19 turn again. I've built motors throughout both of these races and have not seen a problem.
Feel free to contact me and we can discuss what you're doing. It might be something simple that is easily corrected.
Hope this helps...
todd.. i can covor terminator E on this one his lathe cuts smoother than glass.. the best ive ever used.. and we built motors the same way we always have.. In a green 3 motor that has always been about 64- 65 watts.. we couldnt get no more than 59 out of it.. i dont knwo whats going on.. i hope we can find something.. thanks for your consern.

I have had good results with several differnt types of brushes that I've purchased within the past month or so... Putnam brushes, as well as the new Trinty 99+ compound brushes. Basicly I'm making as much or more power then I ever have, I see no indication of any problems with the brushes I've been using.
Hey Chris, after you guys cut a motor caliper it on both ends and make sure it's not cutting on an angle. i have seen guys whose comms are clean but their bit is off causing the com to be out of
round. Also check the com diameter less than 2.7 it seems the Monsters lose their power. Plus anything less than that you run the risk of breaking your bit.
I have good results with Putnam Greens, 767's and 766's in my Monsters.
