Dynatech 01R

Hi Guys,

Still for one of my Manta Ray, I'm looking for some spare parts for a motor (an old Tamiya Dynatech 01R)

Actually I lost long time ago one of the 2 parts which are blocking the brushes. This is a steel parts like that :

I searcht on Internet, but I wasn't able to find this part. Do you know a website which is selling that?

Thanks,

JP

Good luck with that - I was looking for one of those for about 5 years. I gave up and gave the motor away...

I couldn't even find a part number...

Thanks for your answers. You're right, it's totally impossible to find this part separetly... and I understand the reason thanks to you!

So I tried to make some by myself and It works!

They are not so nice, and it might be "unfonctional" in a couple of runs but I made about ten :

The most important is that the brushes are strongly hold and this is the case actually!

7€ the sheet of steel (5mm of depth, ) in my "made-it-yourself" shop and some scissors

Actually it acts a little bit like a spring when tensioned, because the opening between the two legs is more wide than necessary. So the screw is screwed in constraint.

But you're right, the spring is not acting so strongly and it will never be like the genuine part. In that way I will have to check evrey two, three runs in order to see the use of the brushes and if there is some play between the brushes and the spring. If the brushes are no more enough hold, I will have to open the spring manually.

I know this is more fiddling than professional but without that I just can put this motor to the dustbin...

You could cut a small piece of rubber to fit in the 'gap' to provide some pressure...

That will melt so fast. Have you ever put your finger directly on a brush after a run? OUCH!

A small coil spring should work though - if you can keep it in place
