Align set-up and solder brush holders/hoods.

Notch is cut for good solder flow. 

This is done on a dumbly dumb bell end bell.

Then .... Paint and decorate the can any color you want.

Get your parts. 

 

I am pretty sure I can do all these - what an education I'm getting! 

Can you show me how the magnets and shim go in the can?

And the arm spacers / assembly.

 

Question: are you using metal sleeves on the spring posts?

 

I promise not to copy cat - my 16D can will be a marx mustard colored one, and the arm will be different

If this is going in your Rod & Custom car Bob you won't be able to use the shunted brushes .

& CoastalAngler no post protectors for this motor if it's for the Rod & Custom race/car ...weren't around at that time.
If it's for another car than post protectors and shunted brushes are GO! !

[Gator Bob]

The arm has the plastic insulators and blank that IIRC was sold in the 507-R kits and loose.

 

The Champion shunted brushes are for 26D holders and do not fit this motor.

They have been replaced with Associated brand 16D size.

 

It will be 'fire it up' day.

Watch it go  ... "zoom, zoom ...no boom"

Those plastic insulators are on the RTR 507R motors aswell.. got one waiting to be cleaned up, neat arm with the grind balancing.

Bob, is that color you did the can a Dodge/Hemi one? Looks really cool.

[Gator Bob]

Yes, Mopar color....

"SubLime" on a Dodge and "LimeLight" on a Plymouth.

Oh wow that is one sweet ride Bob, always loved the muscle cars You still got it?

[Gator Bob]

Car is gone , sold 2003.

Darn, I didn't like doing that...

 

Back to the motor.

 

Put it together all nice and neat.

Wow, it started at like .5 v.

Broke it in @ 2v for 5 minutes and 3v for 3 minutes. Only at about .65 amp draw.

Put it up to 6v for about 30 seconds and then bounced it to 12v.

 

It is a freaking 'dog' ... that arm just will not get up on the revs at all.

Discouraging outcome so far.

 But what if I want to buy a vowel ?    

[CoastalAngler1]

That looks like my new motor!     - I think the car is gonna weigh plenty - but what about taking up all the lanes with the wide stance?  How much rear tire air pressure do I need?

[Michael Rigsby]

How much rear tire air pressure do I need?

 

 

 Ummm...LOTS!

What brushes are those that have shunts or did you make them?

 

Marty, I got the answer....

 

 

 

The "Lee Gilbert" shunted brushes were Kirkwood L-206 Grade with a shunt pressed in during production and later brush runs didn't have the shunt pressed in.

Every Production Mura motor made from 1971 and until early 2000 had L-206 brushes in them.

 

Kirkwood L-206 Rocket Brushes....high copper content. Yes 70%

 

 

Those brushes came with the shunts installed, I can't remember who mad them but they were super SANO, expensive and hard to find. I bought them at Zepplin Hobbies in 1989 or 90. I used them in my championship "Outlaw Flexi" class cars. Save 2 pairs for this kind of motor, 1 pair left.

Date Correction - 1990 or 91

[Gator Bob]

This clearly is not ....

[CoastalAngler1]

parma get new sealed motors finally?
