terry.sc 16 Posted April 4, 2009 The Speed Gems series is pretty old now and you aren't going to find a replacement. Quad winds aren't around now as they aren't needed. They were available years ago when battery power was limited. A 15 single would give harder acceleration but with higher current drain so on bigger tracks a quad wind would use less power to run than a single or double so you got a bit more battery duration. Put any modern 15 turn in there and you will notice a speed increase over your old motor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Berenger 0 Posted April 17, 2009 You can get a replacement armature for your motor from Hegler Racing: http://www.helgerracing.com They can also supply you with any other Speed Gem armature if you want something different. The Jade is the only quad wind they do, although they have a fair few triples. http://www.helgerracing.com/j2trinity/j2mo...dworkspage.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

r6stu 0 Posted April 29, 2009 Got myself a new armature, brushes and springs posted for £22. A COMPANY called DMS racing had them. My motor is now like new! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could have just bought a whole new speedgems motor on eBay for $29(us) plus postage. That may even be the more updated version as well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terry.sc 16 Posted April 29, 2009 That seems like a lot.We're in the UK. The equivalent motor over here costs £35/$50. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
r6stu 0 Posted April 30, 2009 Its an old motor, but its one of the best I have had! The power seems to be imense, and what ever car I stick it in, seems to go really well and be mega punchy off the line! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
