| Armatures
I need some assistance finding armatures for 540 brushed motors. I have been searching the internet hobby shops and local shops for the last few days to no avail for the higher turn armatures 35t,45t etc. It's either the whole motor or nothing. I don't care if it's machine or hand. I have numerous 540 cans and an old lathe. Anyone got any suggestions? |

Thank you guys I had been to Holmes Hobbies site a few times and couldn't find the Armatures. Maybe I was too tired or out of it. I recently picked up a parts lot of motors for cheep, waiting to see what I got before I order any thing. I do have a couple older modified motors that are used up, but the cans are good both have 5.0 wet magnets. I have a Creeper with a 45t and A custom scaler with an Axial drive train. Any suggestions on number of winding? Last edited by Thurzday; 03-09-2011 at 11:07 AM. |

Between 45 and 35t is certainly the most popular. Got a battery voltage planned? Sounds like you are setting yourself up for some motor rebuilding!

I have 2s 40c lipos and 7.2v nimh that I use. I have a lot of free time as there is no work here for me. I've been doin a lot of searching threads lately. I'm slowly getting back in to motor tuning.
