Making a vintage parts brushed frankenmotor

Post by Frankentruck »

I came across this really cool Epic endbell and felt like it deserved to have a can and armature to go with it. The armature I selected is a 12 turn quad with welded tabs. I think it might be a Peak Performance armature, because it came from a former sponsored racer that has been a great source of motors and parts. Regardless, it was in need of a couple of skim passes to clean it up.

After that, it was time for assembly. I have a nice, no label can and a nice, unused original Trinity Experimental label. This clearly isn't a Trinity Ex motor, but it feels experimental. So together they go.

On a 2s battery, it measures at a smooth spinning 54,000 RPMs. That's a good little random parts frankenmotor.
