- In today's video we get to put the newly modified comm lathe to use and rebuild this crusty old Le Mans that a lovely viewer from Canada sent me. This turned out to be one of my top favorite motor rebuilds I have ever done because of just how beautiful it turned out! Stay tuned until next weekend where we will cover the Trinity Speedworks 350! Cheers!

I enjoy seeing these brushed motor rebuilds.I also love the vintage brushed motors in general ,watching them being brought back to life is awesome.
So glad you enjoy them! Cheers!
Another great job Erica.👍👍
Nice work Erica 😊
Spanking new!! Great job, thanks for sharing Erica 👍
Get a ultrasonic washer. You won't regret that for sure!
Nice work Erica.
BTW MCI Racing makes decals for that motor ;-)
Thanks! My bf has an ultrasonic cleaner so I'll have to try it some time. Great tip on the decals too, thanks!
So cool to see other vintage motors disassembled and see the differences in manufacturing. It looks absolutely amazing! Fantastic job! Can't wait to see the Speedworks motor in the future. I can't thank you enough for this and can't tell you how exciting this is for me.
Thank you very much it was a pleasure to work on this motor!
As always very informative video on vintage motor, great job Erica
Glad it was helpful!
Erica I am impressed with your knowledge and the work you do great job and video .... 🙌💪🙏😎
Thank you so much!
Le mans? Or LEMONS!? That little guy is freakin cool
Haha! Thanks!
Hey young lady! Great job rebuilding that motor! You’re very good and talented! Sorry I haven’t been on CZcams lately! Been kinda busy, but when I can I try to check everything I can!😂 Hope you have a great evening!👌😎👍
No worries, glad to have you around!
@@Hwy49RC thank you 😊🙏
I suspect that motor has been re-stickered. From what my memory recalls, a 360ST is supposed to have bearings, and a 360E has bushings. Since I haven't dealt with those motors since the early '90s, I could be wrong.
The viewer that sent it to was the original owner. Maybe they changed to bearings in later years?
Possibly, since I haven't worked on those since '92.
You and Holmes are trying to get me to search for my AJ's Black Magic drag motor in my basement rofl. After I switched to brushless around 2002 or 2003 (can't remember exactly when) I told myself I would never touch a brushed motor again, but the Black Magic motor iirc is capable of 100K RPM and after watching you and Holmes test it with your power supplies it got me thinking.....should I hold a 100K RPM motor?
Haha! 100k!?! that's insane! You should definitely go look for it!
I just ran across your channel great job I have a 1987 Trinity world champion monster horsepower 12 turn double ran one time in 87 in rc10 will those Motors run with these new electronics in LiPO batteries hurt him
I have run this exact motor on 2s Lipo. You can see from the video that nothing is burned out. 3s LiPo and above is too many volts and would damage the motor. But Erica has more experience and might have better input than I do on this.
Thanks and welcome! Ha! Coincidentally I just bought one of the top fuel monster horsepower 85-87 championship motors with the aluminum endbell. Not because of the motor, but because I want to make my own aluminum endbells on my cnc machine.
In regards to the the hurting the motors, I ran a speed gems pro arconite in my touring car on a 100c 2s lipo (that battery used for 90% of the driving) and had no adverse effects. I would be quite hesitant to run anything lower than 20t on 3s.
That being said, there is no reason that you couldn't. It would still run just as normal, higher rpms of course. The mechanical adverse effects would be shorter brush life, and because you'd be changing brushes and cutting the comm all the time, you would shorten the lifespan of the comm. Now the REAL problem that I think you would encounter is heat. Higher voltage has the capacity to carry higher amperage so now you are trying to force EVEN MORE current through the already tiny wires that, albeit small, have some resistance and generate heat. Though the point where the brush touches the comm encompasses a larger portion of the heat-generating resistance in a brushed motor, the winds also get hot. And the hotter a wire gets, the more resistance it will have. So what that heat is going to do is melt the insulation (look up magnet wire, it has a thin enamel insulation on it) and short your windings together and ruin the motor. Now in theory if you could cool your motor with liquid nitrogen(extreme hypothetical) the resistance would be reduced and thus you could run more current, with more load, while maintaining a low operating temperature. At that point the only thing that would shorten the motor's lifespan is brush and comm wear. At the end of the day, the cooler you can keep your motor, the harder you can push it. I am no electrical engineer so don't take any of this as gospel but that is the way I understand it.
What temp do you keep solder at ??
I don't have a temp controlled soldering iron but the one I use is 40 watts
