Did some motor tunning Yesterday while waiting for the F1 Malaysian practice session.
I opened up the motors with the intention of sending them off to be balanced; as it turns out these motors were already balanced from factory.
Although I don’t really think that epoxy balancing is the way to go, I decided it was pretty good already and saved some bucks.
With the motors opened, I checked the commutators and, as expected, they could use some truing:
They were not extremely bad but I had to remove about .07mm from one of them.
Looking good now:
