Nice picture glyn !!

Actually Shane that motor has only been in Nipper about two years. It was used for the weapon in chip before we bought so I dont know how old the motor is I just know it was well used before we bought it.

Cheers Geoff, Graeme has already contacted them and they say they cannot get an armature for 6 weeks plus delivery time to the UK. I wish it was just the Speed controller now :sad:

You could ask on the RFL Forum.

from memory, the replacement armature isnt all that cheap i seem to remember its almost as expenisve as a new motor, only mag parts i have left are the bursh housing

btw is that a Robots R Us controller?

[big_nipper]

Armature and brushes are less than half the cost of a new motor, it also recked the brush housing but have one from little spinner that will do the job. Yes its a Robots R Us controller, first one weve actually blown up in the robot.

must of been thinking of something else
are you running the mags on 24v? maybe the Robots R Us controller is ok on the lower voltages, mine didnt last 30secs on 48v
