thanks e2m...this is a total NOOOB maneuver on my part. I was ordering some blades and some other bs when I came across the silver brushes. I've heard all you guys talking about them and the performance increase you can get. However, the big NOOB part is that I don't know what the heck the brushes are really. I'm starting my research on the subject, here at rcu. But i'm not rippin my motors apart until i'm 100% sure about this. it was worth the $6 to have them in my kit, since I was buying other stuff. I remember that photo too. If any experts want to volunteer a little private tutoring, the technology is available these day with instant msgr's. I use yahoo and I do have a cam. thanks for the input...now off the search the forums.
