My Holmes Hobbies Crawlmaster sport 13T died today

A question for John Holmes, you recommend against silver brushes, well at the moment that is all I have on hand. So if I was to blow the can out at the end of each run will the silver brushes be ok to use on the torquemaster 13t pro arm ? If not,I have some copper brushes coming. Please let me know.


Edit: NO, silver brushes are to hard and I can hear them clicking between the segments. I tested it before putting it in the wraith and everything was cool. I took it out for a little rip down the drive and as I was rolling into the juice I could hear the brushes clicking over the segments. I am getting some soft copper brushes from the LHS right now before I destroy this brand new arm.

I hope John sees this and responds. that would be great
also last night I set my brxl back to default adjusted my drag brake and put it back together and now it wont initialize the motor I have steering just no GO! I'll try and recalibrate it after work just thought I'd ask maybe why ??

realslickclow, I had the same exact thing happen with my new br-xl and get no response at HH's, this is frustrating.

Oh it worked before, this I believe is operator error

I do have steering but no f/r,just buzzing.It's probably user error and not programing it correctly?

check the trim on your radio you might need to re-calibrate the radio to the ESC. that is what ended up being my problem.
