    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:
