The JPH units were bought and rebuilt to be crawler motors....they were all originally race motors that had crawler armatures put in them, so they have the aluminum endbell.

The motors sold under the CM Team, use the plastic version of the endbell.....which honestly is better for crawling anyways....lighter and more durable.

Brushes and springs are the same between the two. (I have brushes and springs in stock).

Your motors can use just about any 7.5mm comm armature....

Later EddieO

Yeah, wrong pic on those. I need to fix that.

Brushes here, springs to come Holmes Hobbies / Holmes Bikes :: Motors :: Brushed :: Replacement Parts and Service Tools :: 540 motor replacement parts


I'm visiting the Sagami factory in 6 weeks to see what is up with the Checkpoint tooling. They don't have any english employees any longer so I had to just buy a plane ticket. If we can't get them running again with the old molds I will design my own with the round brush.
