I found out the Team Checkpoint Money Motor comes with their "Atlas brushes" installed which are better suited for 4-cell applications. They offer their "Infinity brushes" as a replacement which they claim are better suited to 6-cell applications and I would assume therefore, are longer lasting. I haven't heard of anyone having problems with the TCMM as you friend did. Actually it seems everyone couldn't be happier about the performance of their TCMM's. I would suspect maybe there's a problelm with his speed control, but what do I know??? The TCMM however has recently been discontinued for some reason. Maybe someone on this forum can shed some light on that situation. I don't know why they would discontinue a motor that they have had such great success with unless there is a new version coming, but there is no indication of that so far. Getting back to the subject matter, it would be nice if someone could provide some real world comparisons between the performance of the Reedy Challenger 19T vs the Team Checkpoint Money Motor as the performance of the Money Motor is well known.

Copy that. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it, and while I do agree that brushless has its advantages, I have a few quality speed controls lying around meaning that I only need to invest $30 - $50 for the brushed motor to be up and running. Also since I'm not racing (only occasional parking lot bashing), I do not have the need nor the urgency to do as much maintenance as you had to. If I went with the brushless system, I would have to invest somewhere around $200 - $250, and since I'm looking to set up two rc cars, that would equate to an investment of about $500.00. (Ouch!) I've always felt the 19T motor was a good compromise between decent speed and decent run time, and according to its stats, the Reedy has a max RPM: 35,200, max torque: 198.4N/mm, max power: 177.4W, and max efficiency: 76%. I'm not sure about the Team Checkpoint Money motor. I haven't been able to find the stats for it, but I have heard it is or was a competitive 19T spec motor. So I'm wondering which is the better brushed motor between these two, or is there an even better brushed motor out there that I should be looking at?

I thought this question was worth revisiting since it never got an appropriate response. I noticed Tower Hobbies stocks it at $36.99. I was wondering how it compares to the Team Checkpoint 19T Money Motor at roughly $50.00. I was planning to install one of these in a 1:10th scale touring car. Are there any better recommendations for a 19T spec motor?

These stall tactics are typical of the games that bboykorea382 will play with you. First of all, he’ll tell you that “you have to wait for 45 to 60 days”. This is not acceptable! I’ve ordered from numerous overseas ebay vendors and have received my shipment in 5 to 10 days with only standard shipping rates. Bgirlkorea does this because he knows that you can’t file a dispute against him after 45 days. If you did file a dispute, he’ll attempt to further stall you for another 20 days because at that point, ebay will close your dispute whether you were able to resolve it or not. That’s why it’s important to escalate your dispute to a claim as soon as possible at some point within those 20 days. Once you do this, ebay is forced to investigate it. However, it’s your responsibility to force the issue by filing the claim. If you do not, ebay will assume that you no longer wish to pursue the issue. The dispute will then be closed by ebay, and it cannot be reopened. Furthermore, it won’t be investigated. Also, keep in mind that you can no longer leave feedback after 60 days from the date of purchase. If you intend to leave feedback (positive or negative), be sure to do it before the deadline is up. Ebay does monitor the feedback scores. Especially the “Detailed Seller’s Ratings” (DSR’s). Those are the 5 star ratings that you leave for the seller. Lower average DSR’s equate to increased fees and penalties for the seller. That’s why it’s important to be honest and fair when leaving feedback, but be sure to do it before the 60 days are up. Kstar, I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with this jerk off but you are not alone. Bboykorea382 has scammed hundreds of unsuspecting ebay buyers and will continue to scam many more. He is nothing more than a lowlife conman who deserves to be boycotted. Currently, he has been suspended by ebay, but he’ll be back. BEWARE!

Regretfully, I only just discovered this forum, else I wouldn't have had to go through all this bs with bboykorea382. After reading through all the posts, I can report with certainty that everything you all said about this horses ar$e is true with 100% accuracy. All previous statements that I read here regarding the vague ambiguity, the games, the stall tactics, the deceit, and the outright lies, not to mention the poor packaging and the extremely long shipping times are all true and not to be taken lightly. It seems Ebay has recently decided to suspend the infamous bboykorea382 once again. His listings are no longer present, but his feedback profile is still viewable. I find it curious and somewhat suspicious that he does receive a fair share of positive feedback, however, as I can attest, the risk is certainly not worth the gain. In fact, the effort to save a few bucks may end up costing you more in the long run. I have noticed in this thread that he was previously suspended by Ebay for about 2 months only back in June last year. Hopefully his recent suspension will leave a more punitive impression. By the way, some of the negative feedback comments are absolutely hilarious! My personal thanks to all who have contributed!
