Default Mod Motor Questions

Hey.
Last night I bought and installed a Orion Core Modified 12x2 for my Losi XXX-4. Previously I was using a P2k Pro, and I just needed more power and figured that it was time to make the move to modified. So anyway I have some questions involving Mod maintenance.

How much maintenence is required? How often do I need to cut the comm? When the comm is cut is that when I install new brushes? It says it has 10-30 run brushes but I dont know what that means though.

Im running this motor with my Novak GT-7 with the default throttle program which is smooth mod. Would I gain anything by moving the program to agressive mod?

Thank you.

Is this Mod for racing or bashing?

Hi ChrisE,

How much maintenance depends on your budget. For club racing, cut the commutator and replace brushes after 3 - 5 runs. For playing, follow the specs of the brush (e.g. 10 - 30 runs). It is a good idea to cut the comm and replace the brush at the same time.

Good luck.
