Damn it! I live in Stretton and didn't find out about this forum until just now! I would love to check out the action next time though.

Rustykaos Sun Nov 21, 2010 9:40 pm

Oh well looks like my motor died. The bearings have seized and the bushes are worn out. Time for a new one me thinks. Idea

RiZZa Sun Nov 21, 2010 10:57 pm

Where was the 2nd place you went ?

scottb Sun Nov 21, 2010 11:28 pm

Sorry i could'nt make it guys......the area looks good.Hey Jarrod,was that the original tin can you had in the Landy.?

Rustykaos Mon Nov 22, 2010 1:58 am

Kind of. The actual first one was the tamiya 27T for about a week then this motor went in so it has been in there for quite a while. Very Happy

scottb Mon Nov 22, 2010 2:01 am

Ive got two 27t hpi tin cans you can have.

Rustykaos Mon Nov 22, 2010 2:16 am

Same here but thanks for the offer. I have 2 HPI saturn 27T and 2 Tamiya silver can 27T but I think I will go with another 60T and possibly another as a spare. They only cost $20 so not too worried and knew it would happen sooner or later.

scottb Mon Nov 22, 2010 4:59 am

You can buy a exposed hpi brushed for $50.....then you just have to replase the brushes. If you keep buying tin cans it will add up in $'s & cost you more in the long run.

Yeah but when you replace brushes, you also need to have the commutator cut as well (ideally, you should cut the comm every 4-6 batt packs for a rock crawler motor) , which means buying a $150+ comm lathe and learning how to use it or finding someone who has one (Nev at Hobby-one has one, charges a few bucks to cut a comm).

Tin cans come in handy cause you just abuse them till the fawk out and then buy a new one, the RC4wd tin cans are like $16-$20 each.

Compare that to buying a rebuildable motor ($50). Then replacing brushes ($5-20 depending on brushes), getting the comm cut ($5-10) or buying a comm lathe to do it yourself (min $150). Eventually you will need to have the armature replaced (min $20).

Its not much difference in price either way you go.

Rustykaos Tue Nov 23, 2010 2:21 am

Plus it is easier to just replace the motor than all the fiddling around. Very Happy

scottb Tue Nov 23, 2010 5:41 am

Sorry Jarrod...but i have been running brushed motors in the Defender for about 2yrs...and never had a problem with the commutator....just replaced a few sets of brushes and ocasionaly striped and cleaned the armature. That was a HPI 55T Brushed motor.
Plus it lived in the water more than the hilux. I think what your saying is a "Urban Myth".

scottb Fri Nov 26, 2010 2:25 am

Is anyone thinking of going out this weekend?
