I may get a few of them. What vehicle are you looking to install in?

Probably just put the motor in my slash 4x4 or the combo in the slash:summit:axial hybrid ; although I have a rs/13.5t that might work ok on 3s.

If your not getting them it's no an issue i can get from mike.

Hi,

My TorqueMaster Mini arrived this morning, unfortunately the + connector on the motor sheared within the first few mins.



Any suggestions please?



Cheers
Mark

Can you use the one on the other side? On the bottom, in the lower left of your picture.

Odd same happened to me. You can either use the other side or the little bit left.

Worse case turn the motor 180 deg and resolder

John,

I sent you a email about if you could rebuild my "
TorqueMaster Pro Handwound 30T" motor.

Can you rebuild it?

Hi guys,

Was working on my MRC yesterday and found the car was locked solid, went through each section in turn and found it was the motor locking everything out.
Stripped down the motor and found this.



My first question is:
Is there something i could have done wrong to cause this?

In all honesty i did put a 3S pack on for around 5 mins yesterday afternoon, but the car ran great afterwards for 15 mins or so.


Second question is:
Is this repairable?


Cheers
Mark

I have springs and brushes on my site. Brushed motors, replacement parts.

It was a 33T.

Why would it fail like that?

If it's something i'm doing wrong then i need to know so i don't knacker up future motors.

The 33t should actually take 3s, but every now and then we have one comm let loose.

Shoot me an email and we can get you taken care of.

I have the pro hand wound 45t. I have had them for about 8 months. Everything was fine until the front motor just stopped working. It will work then stop. I checked the comm, looks fine. The brushes are worn down a little but not chipped or broke. I cleaned it up and put it back together and nothing. I can spin the comm and it will run but I can stop it. What can be the problem?
Thanks.
Bryan

Could be a bad segment, or a comm gap that is too wide. Have you given it a comm cut yet?
