[crfrider250]

which ones do i need?

40 people have viewed this and im yet to get a response! ahaha

For a crawler motor, pretty much any brush will work.

You just need to determine if it's a standup or laydown. Tower hobbies has brushes, your LHS may have them, or contact Br00d or Holmes Hobbies.

Pretty sure it's a stand up brush. A pic of the brush hood would help.

If its a stand up brush look for a Reedy 729 or a stand up F brush.

[crfrider250]

whats the difference between a stand up brush and a laydown.
other than the obvious... aha

[SDheavymetal]

None....it's that obvious.

[crfrider250]

well i decided to use my common sense and looked at the engine and the brushes are definately stand up ones! aha
unless they are reversed and stand up mean lay down in the rc brush world.
i mean for 5 dollars i might as well order the ones i think it is and if it isnt the right ones ill order the other ones!
theres a 50/50 chance i get it right! aha

You don't have a 55t Engine.... you have a 55t Motor. Engines convert chemical energy into kinetic energy, motors convert electrical energy into kinetic energy. So unless you have a fuel tank feeding your crawler..... well you get the point.

However you mount an engine into your RC or 1:1 with motor mounts. Go figure.

Andddd......"TowMotors" can run on propane........go figure......

[for the youngins....towmotors are also called fork/lift trucks....it's actually a brand name but can be used generically]

Towmotor would be the vessel.

I just call everything a motor. I like to ask everyone, "What motor's in it?"

Whatever...... Google

I never argue with mods unless there is a MAJOR issue.

This is a "pass by".

Have a great week.

PS, I like some of your "dub-step" links....... My kids were sorta impressed......

[EeePee]

Yeah, what I was saying was towmotor is the vehicle (the vessel in which the motor resides), but it still has an engine to power it. In your case propane powered.

Don't worry about the mod part Charlie, we're all just people. You know that.

Wub wub

Time for some angry robot sex music.

[Charlie-III]

Wub Wub.......

Gotcha....no hard feelings...... thanks......

No idea, but he deleted almost every thread he started. Don't care.

Second the 729 brushes.
