Flush out the motor can and armature or rotor regularly with motor cleaner to keep them as free from debris as possible. The best time to do that is when reassembling your motor after a rebuild or changing brushes and springs. Also, don’t forget to lubricate the bearings & bushes before you reassemble too. Plus it’s a good idea to check for excessive wear and replace badly worn bearings before your reassemble the motor. Doing this regularly will prolong the life of your RC Car motor no end!

Always make a note of the orientation of the brush springs (+/-) when you strip down or rebuild a brushed RC Car motor. Note the spring tension too, so you can put everything back exactly as it was! Replace springs as and when required or when fitting new brushes to ensure optimum performance.

Don’t forget, hard springs create more torque but less rpm, which is great for off road, while softer springs give you greater top end rpm but much less torque. This should be fine for racing on asphalt.

RC Buggy Motor

Experimenting with variable motor timings on rebuildable brushed motors is something that I highly recommend doing. Advancing the timing on a motor will deliver a higher top end RPM (Speed) at the expense of lower rev torque, whilst retarding the timing will achieve a lower top end speed but much higher torque at lower speeds.

Adjusting timings can help shave seconds off your lap times or give you much better performance on tracks where more torque is required.

Top Tip – Scribe a mark on the motors end bell and motor can at the optimum + and – timing settings so you can quickly change back to them when you need them.
