JConcepts Silent Speed 17T competition brushed motor

The Silent Speed brushed motor by JConcepts is the perfect complement to monster truck racers looking to race sport-mod or scale/trail drivers looking for drive-able and rebuild-able power. One of the best aspects of brushed power is the ability to perform on a budget while performing at a high-level. The 17-turn Silent Speed motor, with dual ball-bearings, adjustable timing can be torn-down, cleaned and re-brushed at any moment for consistent performance. The item is packaged into a handy cylinder giving it a retro vibe of how things were done in the golden age of brushed motors and cushioned at the bottom with a hard density foam so the motor always rests in peace. Also included, an instructional sheet for regular maintenance of the equipment and how, when, and where to go for updates, options, and rebuilding items. The Silent Speed motor works well in single motor applications like Axial, Element and a variety of scale and monster truck vehicles using a 540 can based motor.
