I have one of the Hobbico Torqmaster 180 starters and one of the brushes split and is obviously not working now since the lead wire is no longer attached. I am wondering if anyone knows of a replacement for this, as I have looked all over the websites and can't find anything for parts for this starter.

Thanks!

Without a man. part number it will be tough,, Bob has a good idea,, a Tool repair place might be able to find (match up) the right size too.

Have you called or emailed "hobby services"

They might send you the parts or at least have a part number

good luck

I always got the brushes from my local hardware store, {Coast to Coast}. They stock many different sizes so finding the correct one isn't a problem. Replace them both at the same time.

Ace Hardware stocks motor brushes too, at least mine does. You just have to go find one that will fit.

You should replace both brushes. You can use larger brushes and grind/file them down to size. See if you can find a Bright Boy eraser to clean the armature with. Don't use emery cloth unless you have to in cleaning the armature.

Yeah, I plan on checking the hardware tonight. I also found a place online that stocks many different brushes (http://store.eurtonelectric.com/alternatorbrushes.aspx). I will measure and see if I can fine one.

Thanks All!

I used the brushes for a SKILLSAW. I had to thin them down a bit with sand paper, but dropped right in. Cost me $8.00
