Rebuild vs. new
What are thoughts on rebuilding an electric motor or just buying a new one?

Re: Rebuild vs. new
Depends on condition. What does it need? If just brushes and bearings it shouldn't be a big deal.

Re: Rebuild vs. new
A professionally rebuilt motor should perform as well as the original. If a stock motor suits your needs refreshing an old motor may cost just 50% of a new motor.
If your needs are for more power new motors can provide 3-4 times the hp of the stock motor. |

Re: Rebuild vs. new
 I had metal fragments all in the end where this was. There's a bushing that goes around this right? Or a sleeve? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Rebuild vs. new
That will need to be turned and tested by a motor shop.
It looks like it still has life in it. Then you will need new brushes. In this thread JaxPilot got it done for $25. He added a new bearing while he was in there. http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/elect...ml#post1419105 |

Re: Rebuild vs. new
At first I thought there was a one hit bowl on top, with some green stuff inside.
 Your commutators look pretty bad. Graphite brushes are really soft, so it looks like something bad happened to them. Hard to judge scale on a photo. Commutator can be helped with afine emory cloth. If you download the Repair manual, you can fix this yourself for a fraction of the cost of rebuilding it. The new brushes, although not ideal, will conform to the irregular commutator surface profile. |

All the springs that hold brushes in were melted & brushes were cracked. Also I figured out the speed sensor magnet had broken all a part that was all the fragments I found. I ordered a brush kit with plate & new magnet. Hope it works Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
