Default new brushes, how often?

I am reasonable new in the rc environment, I have an Axial R10 bombs, and have burned 3 regular motors of now :-( I have ordered a Hobbies Torquemaster 550 21T (am looking to get it) I have a hi / law gear box in my car, but I am very curious about how often I have to change brushes, does anyone have experience with how long they hold?

Sincerly

Jesper

I'm not sure, but if you email (or phone) Holmes Hobbies directly they can help you, or you can post in the have tech questions thread.

IIRC HH has a couple of different grades or types of brushes. One is much softer than the other, so obviously will wear faster. And I think the various motors have various brushes - can't comment on yours specifically.



This would a good question for the 'tech questions' thread he has.
