[Doughty]

rpm means nothing really, even expensive dyno readouts dont mean that much.

I have had some amzing motors looking at the dyno readings but they are crap on the track and vise versa.

Do you think it is good?

[fredster]

its pritty quick but they ave not bein cleaned since i got em is £10 per motor ok for a ful service (skim,new brushes and cleaned)

[Mark Stiles]

Brushes average at about £4 a pair

You can clean it yourself using motor spray.

Someone should skim it for a couple of quid if you haven't got a lathe.

On average, a full rebiuld would cost me £5 (I get cheap comm skims!).

If someone else does everything for you, you'll be paying them extra on top, hence the extra £5

£10 for a full motor service is what you would expect to pay at a modelshop.

Personally, I do it for a quarter of that, and do so regularly at the club. No complaints (yet) either!

I would go and ask your fellow club members for their help and see what happens

I tend to clean my own motors with dry cotton buds, no motorspray or airline ever and my bearings seem to stay A1 for the life of the motor now. Cheaper doing it with cotton buds too.

Before I was doing them, id have defo expected change from a 10er - shop or not.

you obviosly never went to my LHS! motor skim, clean, oil bearings, new brushes and put back together again to original spec, i.e dyno'd, and you wouldn't be able to buy a lunchtime special from sayers with the change!

They even charged a friend of mine to take a brand new motor (that they had sold) apart to clean it, because it didn't go well. . . . . and yes, they even soldered the motor to the ESC. Although, because he bought it from the shop, they didn't charge for this!

my local club has murged with a nother one they now race at garforth.how much does a com lath cost? i can get brushes for 3.99
