Old Skool Brushed motor modifiying

[Miggers]

Yeah ,I know all you fancy dan speed merchants use brushless these
days,but I've a few questions about good old brushed motors.

I have a spare 27turn stock motor that hasn't got a load of miles on the clock.
The brushes and comm are in pretty good nick,so I'm wondering about
having a tinker with it.

If I take enough wire off the windings to bring it down from 27 to 19 turns
would it still run?

Or do I have to get completely new wire of a different gauge and completely rewind it?

You would also need to balance the armature afterwards or the motor will shake itself to bits when you try to run it.

i wouldn't bother if its half decent the widings would have been glued i would look on ebay for an arm or a cheap modified.

i have a checkpoint 10x2 which is pretty good its yours for £15+postage

Looked on e-bay and there's fanny adams apart from that Ansmann Launcher 19x2.
That's why I asked about modding the 27turn(Parma Cyclone Stock,BTW).

Thanks for the offer stu,but my speedo won't run that(12turn limit).

For the price, the ansmann launcher 19 isnt a bad motor. Also it is a single wind and not a double. All of the ansmann launcher`s are single winds. (Well the one`s I have stripped 19, 21, 50, 55)

That's good to know.
There's a few brushed 19's in the For Sale on here that I've pm'd the sellers about,so if nothing turns up from the Oople Massiv I'll probably go for a
19t Launcher and see about re-winding my spare Cyclone stock down to a
17t for a larf(wild aren't I)

up until recently i was still using brushed and did fine. I have rewound motors in the past and it works but i advise you to wind tight and neat taking care to get the winds in the right direction. I belive either demon power products, lesro or top models will build you a new brushed motor if you want one.

Integy are selling off loads of armatures on Ebay at present.
This is a hand wound example, and they have some machine wound ones even cheaper

you will need slightly thicker wire if you rewind down to a 19 turn, if i remember correctly 27turn is 22 guage, 19 is something like 20 guage. also silver solder to resolder to the comm, standard solder will last about 30 seconds to a minute running before it melts, and if you want half decent results make a magnetic balancer to allow you to epoxy balance the comm afterwards, balancing makes a huge difference! try doing an 8 quad wind, 22 guage worked well for me and made a seriously quick 2wd motor!
