Team br00d Crawler Motors and Batteries....

[EddieO]

Thought I would drop a line on here to announce our Rock Crawler products we will be introducing over the next few weeks.

We aim to replace the integy motors with a high quality brushed motor. We will be offering all the popular winds along with custom orders.....We will be offering our motors in MUCH better cans/endbells than the current brushed stuff out there. Checkpoint, Orion, etc will all be available.

We are also working on some new stuff....including our new drop in replacement 5 segment arm....which provides a smoother power band and increased efficency with less maintenance than a 3 segment arm. They also feature our Jimmy Hat comm locking device that prevents from throwing winds....

I attached a photo of a prototype of the 5 segment armature.

Team br00d Cells will be available in all different types for all your crawling needs....


www.teambrood.com to checkout all the goodies we offer....

Wow... I'm not familiar with Brood myself, but I hear good things at my local club races. One of the points leaders runs Brood cells and he's absolutely dumb-founded by how well the work... his word; "nuclear".

It's Nice To See Your Over Here With Another Good Product Im Sure


Still Wish You Made Roar Pres

Im Sure You Would Have Made Changes Only Better For The Racers

[Tanis]

Glad to see you made it over here, Eddie."thumbsup"

[Braden]

These motors will be wicked :)

(Eddie, gonna make a crawling coarse now?)

[dezfan]

Cool, what's the time frame?"thumbsup"

[EddieO]

I already bought like $3,000 in rock and it's at the track....

As for the time frame....

The 3 segment stuff should be appearing on the site in the next ten days.....

Just don't expect $24.99 motors.....I am sorry, but the integy lathe motors (both machine and handwound) are junk....there is a reason nobody runs those teardowns in any form of racing.....the reason they sell though, is because its all that available really......and they are cheap to boot.

The Checkpoint cans should be on the site next week, along with the Ti, V2 teardowns......We will also be offering the large comm 3 segment arms for increased torque.

We will have 50t, 55t, 60t, 65t, and 70t as base winds.....and you will be able to order any wind in between to suit your needs.

The 5 segment stuff is a couple of months out, as we are waiting on a big load of them while we finish our testing......I am recruiting a few of the top crawlers around the country to do some testing.....

Batteries will show up in the next two weeks also....

If you have any product requests, please let me know at eddieo@teambrood.com and I will see what we can do.

Glad to see you over here Eddie, can't wait to see what you come up with, or to make a trip up to Peel It to check on the rocks. Sorry I didn't get to visit with you at the comp, but things were a bit hectic at times. Next time for sure. "thumbsup"

Wow!! Now we are talking. Bout time someone steps up and gets this rolling. EddieO...will we see some of your revolutionary commentary in the Rock Crawling sections? I love reading thru your posts on RCTECH. You know your stuff and I am glad to see you here.

Everyone needs to watch out. Eddie bought a couple Hustlers!:lol:

I may get my Hobby Shop to get in touch with Wes.

Thanks
Tom

[JohnRobHolmes]

Is the diameter of the comm large enough to work with laydown brushes?

Looks SLICK! I cant wait to see how well they perform. The more commutation cycles per RPM the better!

[davway]

what sort of $$ price range are we looking at?
less than $100 a motor or more than $100?

[SnailMail]

how much are the 5 segment motors going to cost?

[Racer4Life]

Under $100.00

$60.00

http://www.teambrood.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=975

"thumbsup"

[EddieO]

Motors shouldn't cost more than the current Teardowns of similar type do on the site....

The comm ring adds about $10 to a motor....

The 5 Segment arms are going to be about $10 more....

Probably later today, you will see a lot of the crawler stuff appear on the site, but will be listed as out of stock as we build up the stock to handle the demand.

While you can use a regular laydown on the 5 segment, it has WAY too much overlap.....so you need to trim them down a bit to make it a reasonable amount. In theory, as long as it has or is close to having some overlap, it would still be a laydown.....we will be selling the brushes pre-cut on the motors and pre-cut spares.


I plan to be a bit more tame here with my commentary......I get away with bloody murder on rctech, cause all the mods are my friends......I will still call it as I see it though.......that's just me.

I got my Hustler's yesterday.....they are PIMP....I am building one this weekend and getting it all done up with my stuff I got from all over.....

[Brandon]

Nice work EddieO, glad to see your over here from rctech "thumbsup" I will be a customer for sure!

[DrasticSports.com]

How many segments are the lathe engines?

[EddieO]

They are just 3, which is what pretty much all the brushed RC car motors out there are.....the main reason, ROAR rules for racing require 3.....so no company ever felt the need to make a 5 or 7, because it would not be legal.

These things have a way smoother powerband and more precise throttle control.......in simple terms....a blip on the throttle is now divided by 5 instead of 3......

What??? There's no time to work on your Hustler!! You need to get some motors built! :lol:

I am in the process of getting our Hobby Shop to fill out the Dealers form. Should be in today. "SpeedyBill's RC and Hobby"

(Tame Commentary) No one on RCTECh would believe it!:)

Thanks

[todd1803]

Eddie - The Pro V2 50T. Is that a laydown brush 3 segment motor? Also I was curious from looking at the site, does that motor have bearings or bushings?

Thanks!

Can't wait to see what else you come up with.

[Double J]

Info off his site. I also think he stated somewhere??? that he'll have some with bearings.

TEAM BROOD CRAWLER Motors Feature:
— Based a V2 Modified
— Zapped Magnets
— Precision-Measured Springs
— Rebalanced Armature
— Polished and Seated Bushings
— Polished Armature Shafts
— Precision-Cut Commutator
— Perfectly Round Commutator
— Aligned Brush Hoods
— Wind Inspection
— Exclusive SuperCool Break-in Procedure
— Precision-Spaced Armature
— Each arm is 50 turns hand wound.

[todd1803]

Yes I saw that on the site, but it seemed a little strange, so I wanted to verify.

[EddieO]

Thats an error......copy and paste can be a bad thing.

ALL of crawler motors will come with bearings.....no point to a bushing ever.

All the motors on the site so far are 3 segment arms.....

The v2 uses a round brush at an angle......the v2 teardown has won the last 2 World Titles in Onroad Sedan.....its a VERY powerful motor.

Later EddieO

[Double J]

That sounds good. I thought I heard him talking about them haveing bearings, but didn't want to speak out of place."thumbsup"

[EddieO]

The first series of motors are now on the site.....40, 45, 50, 55, 60 turn based V2 and Checkpoint teardowns.....


More products to come soon.....


Later EddieO

[sloppy]

that is awsome we were talking about some real motors at a race the other day these motors should give the brushless guys a run for there money "thumbsup"

[Silverdirt]

wow cant wait to run brood stuff in crawlin there race stuff is fast! these should be just as good

[jeff jenkins]

all of the teambrood motors are definately going to out perform the integy... reason being: teambrood is raising the bar for rock crawlers around the world.. we are not going to be using out dated tear-downs such as the integy.. we are allowing you the customer to have the oppertunity to have the motor built to your needs... if you would like a 51 turn over a 50 we can do that.. if you would like to have a jimmy comm hat, you got it! we are giving you options which offer full customization. as for the teardowns we only use the best. checkpoint, orion, reedy.. and so on...

you cant go wrong with teambrood.. the company that has wins at every major race in the last 2 years..
and is now going to be taking the rock crawling industry to a new level...

[hotwheels000]

Stopped buy your guys shop last week and all I can say is wow, you have a lot of motors in there.Rock pile was cool but the scaler wasnt up to it. That pumice is punishing to the drivetrain:shock: Nice to have met part of your crew, cant wait to see some of these motor in action.

[STEEL_CITY_CRAWLER]

any plans in the works for a 35T motor? these motors look awesome, and i'm thinking a 35T will be the hot ticket in a light rig like what i am going to be running...

[EddieO]

Email wes@teambrood.com and he can get you a 35t motor ordered....

The thing about our company, we will literally wind pretty much whatever you want.....the only thing we won't do is make illegal race motors, which doesn't really apply in crawling.....

So 35, 36 or even 38.....we will wind it.

[f150dan]

Are the 5 pole motors availible yet cause thats what I'm waiting on.

I was 2 of the 55t or 60t Team Checkpoint 5 pole motors.

[run2jeepn]

Any pictures of these motors yet? I know it doesn't matter, but I'd like to see them still.

[marzzz23]

just ordered a team brood checkpoint crawler motor. EddieO you provided my horsepower for dirt oval now I can't wait to have brood power in my crawler too!!!!!!

[tmyjeeper]

The Creep-T 45t are the best motors I've ran, by far. "thumbsup"

[Jeepial]

X2..And I would be interested in 2 40 turns(something hardcore:lol:),and a 11 volt lipo if you guys have started making those for crawling applications...Maybe something like 2200 3s 25-30c small size...Let me know...

[rn38]

I was going to just ask that... how the turns would reflect compared to the 3 poles. I knew they wernt the same cause HH colbalts. Would the 5 pole be in a normal can? And can they handle the voltage? I like 4s:twisted:. Really looking forward to seeing how you guys do the 5 poles!!!

Thanks
mike

BTW A friend just picked up a losi crawler and is having mad issues with the motor overheating. Would like to know if these would work there. Il'l tell him to check this thread out anyways!!

[TURBOFEST]

WOW! I installed my Team Brood 35t titanium series crawler motors in my Clod Super last week and these motors are incredible. The low end with the laydown brushes and the hand wind is simply amazing. It's way way better then the low end with my 55t motors. Then when i need it, i can throttle down and let these motors do work..and they have some sick power/wheels speed!!!

Thanks Team Brood for some really nice Motors!!! "thumbsup"

[THAT1GUY]

I have some team brood 35t but the magnets in the can lost almost all power for some reason?

I was wondering if anyone had used laydown brushes with a 35t... Are these producing similar numbers to the brood stock motors? I used to carpet race touring and 12th scale and every motor (stock and mod) Ive ever bought from Brood has been smoking.

[rn38]

Cool Il'l keep an eye on this and keep my friend informed!!

Thanks

[JohnRobHolmes]

you guys talkin bout the 5 poles? those are a little different, a 23 turn is like a 40 turn, its weird.. still trying to find a way to make them have holding power.

The steel concentration is less with the 5 slot, so the magnet to steel attraction is less. Are you running the motors as wound in the first pic or in a full pitch covering two slots?

[THAT1GUY]

Thanks for getting back to me on my Motor Cans. Looking forward to the new ones "thumbsup"

[THAT1GUY]

Any luck on having some motor cans for me yet? Its been about 6 weeks.

[constantmotion]

Could be a while

Well after ordering a 45T Creep-T Hand wound motor back in 24/5/09. I still have not received it, And it's not showing that it has been shipped in order history ether. I have repeatedly been sending e-mails to Eddie O and every other e-mail address that Team Brood has with not one reply. So if anyone at Team Brood would like to look into this and for-would me a refund fill free as I am sick of waiting for it.
