Anybody have a source (not necassarily in the R/C industry even) for a lathe motor for a Team Cobra AC tire lathe? Apparently I just toasted mine and I can't find anyplace that carries them. I even looked up the company that is listed on the motor one time to try and find someplace that carried the motor but no luck.

on the team cobra website they have it listed on there. http://www.teamcobra.com/cobra/tirelathes.htm
part #8061 A/C Drive Motor
not sure if this is what you are looking for though

I sent an email to Cobra last night to find out if I can order one direct from them but haven't heard anything yet. It just seems that since this is "basically" a sweeper motor someone might have another source for them since we all know what the "markup" is like in the R/C industry.

What does it say on the motor?

I'll have to get the make and # off the motor and post it Sunday. I want to say it's made by Ametec??

 

[OvalmanPA]

It's made by Ametek Specialty Motors.......part#R5409-31 and is rated at 100/120v......50/80hz.

I found 3 motors at Grainger. Do a search for "Ametek Rotron". Then choose "Brushless DC Motors". There are 3 AC/DC motors. I would link to it but Grainger won't let you. Hope this helps.

Thanks.......I'll have a looksee.

The size seems to match up with one of the ones they have listed so I have one ordered to try. I HOPE it works out.

The Small Maxmod had a motor rated at 10,000 RPM. I think it was about a 4-1 reduction.

 

[OvalmanPA]

The one I just received is rated at 20,000. I do believe it's gonna work however as the one on there REALLY spun up before. Might try putting a fan in the bottom with it to try and keep the heat down under load. My only screw up was they had this one listed (8-32 screws) and another with mounts for 10-32 screws. Guess which one I SHOULD have gotten? Oh well.......a trip to the hardware it is.

Isn't that the way it all ways go's. Keep us posted how it works.
