Brushed Motor Timing Question

[Lou-Dog]

So I am cleaning my 35T Integy Motor. When I removed the can I forgot to mark it and now I've lost where the timing was set. I can see the marks on the plastic part of what i think is call the endbell? Can you just screw it down again anywhere or how can i get to how it was?

Thanks

You can assemble anywhere, but a few observations.
1-If you're ~180 out of where it was, the motor will run reverse.
2-For a crawler, typically we run 0* to slight advance timing.

I would start with 0* which is the brush centerline in the middle of the magnets (same as the brush centerline 90* to the vents in the side of the can).
If you want a little timing, mount the motor and slowly spin the wheels in forward. See which way the motor turns. Twist the endbell 1/2 timing notch to 1 notch AGAINST the armature rotation.
Lock down the endbell & run.

Here's a pic.



Positive brush hood on the left, negative on the right. Spin it 180 if you truck requires reverse rotation.

that should be the zero mark if you don't have it 180 out....keep in mind what screw you have at the zero mark, it should be a different color from the other one at least all mine are different....that's how i keep mine when i take them apart........bob

I taught myself "Red on the right", two R's. And what I mean is red (positive) on the right of the notch in the can when looking at the endbell side is normal rotation.

Little faster forward than reverse is good.

Thank you for the picture and thank you everyone for the helpful posts. I will try at 0* and see how it goes. I did not know it was 90 degrees from the motor vents.
