nm i no how ill see if it works
:rolleyes:

Swap the wires going to the motor. Reverse the ends that are on the motor.

I can now set the carbon brushes in 5.00 min but I am not using water. You need to clean the armature after break-in also.
Hook the motor and only run it at 3.0 V. Check it every 0.5 min for good brush shape. They should fit the armature without gaps. Clean the armature with alcohol and a Q-tip. Clean the area thoroughly with small pointy tools. The Q-tip leaves fluff that is bad. I use a very small set of hemostats that I filed thinner. Then spray with armature lube again.
Buy a few extra sets of brushes. The practice is good if you mess up a set or 2 by not paying attention at a crucial time.

Just got a set of drac`s neo magnets. I`ve installed them into an old plasma dash housing and I`m busy rewinding the armature to 25t double with .25mm wire. Let you know how it goes...

How much current wil that take?

The standard plasma dash motor is a 27t single, but is wound with .4mm wire, you can run it on as little as 2.4v but it works better on 4.8. Standard drain is 4.2 amps if I remember correctly, hope to take that down with the double wind.Stock it`s way down on torque, being a low wind single with REALLY crap magnets, but because of the OS commutator and trick brush setup it makes awesome power. I`m pretty keen to see how it goes double wound with heavy magnets, even more keen to see it with 7.2v but my car`s maxing out (stuttering) when I put 6 bats on board...
