Motor Lathe & RPM Tester
Hi, I'm into micro RC such as Mini-Z. I build my own motor and what not. My question is this: I want to order a lathe off towerhobbies but I don't know which one. What lathe would be good for 130-180 size motor. Also, I'm wanting to buy an RPM tester. Any idea on which ones would fit? Do I have to modify them?
Thanks
Thanks

RE: Motor Lathe & RPM Tester
As far a sI know theirs not any lathes avaliable for micro sized motors, however the trinity dyno (monster horsepower machine, or something like that) will work with 180 sized motors.
I dont think youre going to find a lathe for micro motors becasue Id imagine you could only get a few cuts per armature as the comm plates will be much thinner than on 540 motors.
