Anyone have a recommendation for a replacement motor for the DC Backtrack 2 True? My motor quit today and there are no markings on it. I'm not an R/C guy so I'm asking around before I replace the motor. Thanks!

I forwarded your email to Geary.
It's been a while since I've sold a DC truer.
I can't even recall what the motor looks like.

Thanks, Mike! Here is a photo of the DC motor. It's also a pretty accurate representation of my face when it quit while I was tire trimming...

Ok, gotta a replacement motor on the way! Thanks for the help Mike and Geary. Love my Backtrack 2 True. It makes the tedious job of tire trimming almost fun.

Thanks, that is accurate! After my Peleton treadmill was deemed dangerous, I replaced it with this handy 2 True. I replaced the vexatious haranguing of the Peleton crew with a great tire trimmer. A win-win.

Makes for a new years resolution.
I will true two sets of tires every day whether they need it or not.
