Brushed Motors

Hi Guys,

What Brushed motors do you run, not winds, manufacturer and why.

Not having a lot of luck with motors at the moment, your comments please.

Any interested in a Group Buy? Get 10 or more orders (on most popular mamufacturer) i may be able to source a good discount.

I still use the same PEAK / Orion V2 motors that I've had for years. I've been very pleased with them and they last a long time between maintenance.

3 meetings ! I've had closer to 10 meetings from some of mine (enduro brush).

As a side note, if you run the regular type of motor, the Trinity XXX lemans brush seems to last forever and gives good power too.

Any one used Corally Motors recently, i say recently cause i used to use them in 2000 and they were acually worth £50.

ive been using checkpoint motors, the comm lasts ages and if kept clean, require very little maintenance.

I really like the Checkpoints too. I ran V2's for a while before the Chekpoints I have now, they were able to deal with heat very well but were never that quick.
The Checkpoints I have now are silly fast and the brushes will not burn, the brush braid's can go cherry red and the brush will still be fine.
