I was tweaking on one yesterday and the comm. puked on it. I took it apart only to find out that the bakalite that the comm. is molded to had lost an entire section. Weird. I also have one that has wraps so loose they are above the diameter of the stack. I only had 4 (now 3) of these motors so I'm not that impressed with them. The only race I was in with this motor was in Durham N.C. at Hob-B-Max and I ran the recommended gear ratio of 13x37 64P with .720 soft Alpha Wonder tires. The car ran well and I had no overheating problems. Some motors did go up but I don't know the ratio they were running. I did hear some guys ran 33T spurs and didn't burn up.
I've done so much with so little for so long it seems like I can do anything with nothing at all.
