Motor stopped! Here's my delimma. I got the faithful Venom Creeper out to run some trails and as soon as I started, it stopped. It has a Rooster ESC that's about 2 years old and a used HH 35 turn TorqueMaster Pro I bought from here that was fairly new. Also I run 2s lipos and it is a 2.2 rig. The ESC will flash and light up as it should but nothing will happen. Usually I can give it a bump and it will take off. Sometimes it will stop on level ground but tends to do it more ofter when a load is applied such as a hill. Thank you, Aaron |
Re: Holmes Hobbies is junk! The springs that hold the brushes are weak! Take them out and tweak them. I have the same problem with my 70.00 motor. Kinda pisses me off... |
Re: Holmes Hobbies is junk! Why would you say Holmes hobbies is junk? Sounds like you bought something used (or maybe misused) so how can you blame a manufacturer? Sounds like you either have worn out brushes or bent brush hoods. |
Re: Holmes Hobbies is junk! That's kinda strange...my 35T TorqueMaster Pro in my Axial shafty rig is still fine after 2 seasons. |
Re: Holmes Hobbies is junk! Sounds like the motor could use a turn and some new brushes. That would certainly be my starting point. Have you tried a different motor with the same esc or this motor with a different esc? Probably not the best choice in thread titles either around these parts either. |

Re: Holmes Hobbies is junk! Sounds like a hung brush. When is the last time you cleaned it? Your thread title is retarted.. |

Send it back to HH - he'll freshen it up for $10 |
Re: Holmes Hobbies is junk! Funny I have 2 hh 45's that ran through 3 sets of brushes and I mean through 3 all the way to the wire connection at the end of the brush ! I finally rebuilt em last jan and ya know what all I had to do was oil em n cut the comms and blow out the cans and I forgot how good my hh motors are ! So a little advice pull on the end of the wire goin to the brush see if it sticks ! If so add a little erl in there and see if that soles an issue ! To just come out n say holmes is junk is plain not thinking its blastefamy !Rant done sorry if anyone's feelings are hurt during this presentation ! :flipoff: |

I'm sure it is in that ballpark. Brood has $10 motor rebuild service that includes comm turn, brushes, brush hood alignment, magnet zap, etc. I would not imagine Mr. Holmes would price himself out of the market on that one. |
HH $10 rebuild: http://holmeshobbies.com/product.php?productid=427 |
Re: Holmes Hobbies is junk! My motor is brand new and messing up. I'm thinking maybe there not the best for scalers that run in mud an water. |
Re: Holmes Hobbies is junk! I love my used HH 14t pullers! They are holding up to severe punishment on 6s :twisted: |
Re: Holmes Hobbies is junk! It sounds like a hung brush, though it could be a shorted armature. A rebuild will more than likely fix the problem.....if the arm is shorted, a new armature will be needed. My rebuild service is pretty much the same as the Holmes Hobbies service....we both do pretty much the same stuff to get the motor going good again for $10, as we both have the correct equipment to do this. There are a couple of other companies charging the same price for a lesser rebuild.....seems to be the normal for them though.... I can assure you though, as the main rival to Holmes Hobbies, his motors are not junk. They are well made and perform well, but like anything in this hobby, if you don't take care it correctly, it will fail within time. Later EddieO |
