Wandy 1526 Posted July 25, 2009 In amongst the vast piles of R/C junk I have accumulated over the last 5 years I have come across a couple of Le Mans 240ST motors. Are they any good compared to, say, a Technigold? How long will I get off a modern 2000mAh battery? Both of them look to be in good condition but one is missing it's brushes and brush locating springs....could I get generic spares for them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terry.sc 16 Posted July 25, 2009 They are nothing special. A 23 turn motor with bushings, they were usually included in kits. Any springs and upright brushes will work fine. My personal recommendation for the motors would be medium springs and either these or these brushes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RichieRich 660 Posted July 25, 2009 I haven't run a Technipower or Technigold, but I consider the 240ST to be a notch above the standard silver can. Like Terry said, they're nothing special. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terry.sc 16 Posted July 25, 2009 Compared to a Technigold, worse. The Technigold was Mabuchis top spec race motor at the time, the 240ST was a cheap motor that's faster than the 540 to put in the kits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like Terry said, they're nothing special. No argument here...! After my silver can broke the bushing out of it'd end-bell cover, I followed recommendation for a 240ST... and man, was I glad I did! Faster & longer runtime! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
