Default Can the armature of a 35T Torquemaster be swapped?

Searching high and low but I’m not good enough to find the answer. In this case it’s a Holmes-specific question.
Can the armature of a 35T Torquemaster be swapped with, say, a 27T or 21T armature for the same size can?

The application is for a Sendero with HW1080 and stock gearing on 3S...everything is more or less currently stock from RTR. Lol, or something I haven’t yet built.

And here’s a gratuitous pic of the happy Sendero:

You can swap for other Torquemaster armatures. You can also upgrade from expert to pro just by changing the armature. Or downgrade, if you wanted to for some reason.

This photo is fascinating. What is that waterway all about?

The Crawlmaster and TorqueMaster use the same can and magnets so they are interchangeable.

@bbrig and Voodoo—-excellent news and I saw the armatures listed over there at Holmes’ site. Having armature options is going to speed up my learning curve.

@smog—-that’s a straightened portion of the Colorado River looking from a trailer park in CA across at Riyadh’s in Saudi Arabia. Lol, no, those are just fancy second houses that are hardly ever occupied on the AZ side across from Needles.
A bunch of years ago the (Federal) Bureau of Reclamation dropped insane amounts of rock and gunnite along the river to channel the water between dams for expedited hydroelectric capacity and the water used by our arid western states. Across the river you can see how immense that dyke can be and how it looks like that for hundreds of miles where there used to seasonal flooding and innumerable sloughs and now unimaginable wildlife. In the crawler shot, that’s a rock jetty that had concrete poured over it ands it’s traction for days. It’s also a long way down end over end when I got cocky and stoppie-failed in this next pic and tumbled the truck down it completely submerged in a foot of water.

I took a break from various JRH armature searches and went down this Colorado River rabbit hole while visiting my folks. My grandad and I found an old steamboat mooring twenty years ago and I finally found something totally interesting about pre-dam and pre-railroad life on the Colorado River. Lots of my friends are Chemuevi and Mohave and there are interesting period references to related old world things in here, if you want to follow down a hole.
Cheers.

Yay for swappable armatures, Christmas is coming!
