It's an abrasive stick, on the Orion stick, one end goes through the brush hoods to clean the comm, the other is round for cleaning the brush face.

have you thought about a fussy brush so you can shape the brushes correctly.

[stox217]

its for a sealed stock 540 motor like the mardave/tamiya motors

They wont work on the mardave motors as you have to go in at an an angle, You can "skim" the com with a pointed bike spoke or similar.
I know its crude but put some heatshrink (to insulate it from the can) on it leavng just enough of the spoke sticking out and with light pressure skim the com. It works and its cheap.
