GM3 cleaning

[stamp2tc3]

I clean it after every 5 battery packs through it. Some times I will run 10 to 12 packs throught it a day.
See ya Later :cool:

are you getting the comm cut at all?

are you checking the brushes?

How often should I clean my Green Machine 3?
How often should I take it apart to clean it?
Do I just spray it down w/ motor cleaner, oil the bushings, and put on some comm drops?

[HowieStern]

how often do you wash it out with motor cleaner?? after every pack if you are **** ... otherwise, every "few" packs...

i typically wash mine out after every 3 packs... (although i know people that never rinse out their motors)

and yes, you need to re-lube both the bushing after each cleaning....

and you don't have to run comm drops... sometimes i will use them, but most of the time i don't... most comm drops end up "gumming" up your brushes and comm and generally make more work keeping your motor at 100% than any power advantage they may give you....

peace out.... :)

I don't have a comm cutter. I just bought some Reedy 767 brushes. Is there any where that I can send the armature to get cut for a descent price?

The first place I'd sheck is your local hobby shop, someone there frequently has a lathe available to cut someone's comm(for a small fee, usually), or you might ask around at your local track, a number of racers(including myself) bring theirs with them to the track..... :)
