tillmon 2 Posted May 11, 2014 Hi everybody, The BZ is rebuildable so I wanted to know if there is a way to get spares rotors, as I've searched on the internet and found nothing… I know it's a 23 turns single, I guess every brand should fit? If anyone has a suggestion, welcome! Thanks Fred Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
super gripper 419 Posted May 12, 2014 there are a few Trinity armatures on ebay but no 23 turn ones. with the brushless taking almost over now it is unlikely you will find many new armatures about. Its now in some cases cheaper to buy a new complete motor (not Tamiya of course, they are just stupidly expensive) there are many cheaper options than buying Tamiya motors. And better quality too ....... look on modelsport Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
94eg! 834 Posted May 12, 2014 It's probably cheaper to buy a motor lathe and re-cut the com on the stock rotor. All you need is some good standup high-performance brushes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tillmon 2 Posted May 13, 2014 Thank you guys for your advices! I already have a comm lathe but one of my BZ's is really tired, that's why I was wondering about changing the rotor… anyway I got a 17t single left in my spare box, the only thing is that the magnets on these motors are so strong, I wonder if a lower turn rotor will no overheat the armature...

94eg! 834 Posted May 13, 2014 Stronger magnets should make for a stronger motor. In theory it should generate less heat for a given level of power. Heat control is up to your throttle finger. Though you may want to fit bearings into the can to run a mod rotor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
