I've got some low-turn motors in my RC fleet (11t and 12t), and since I'm not racing and don't need ultimate maximum performance, I'd like to use hard brushes in those motors so the brushes will hold-up to running with LiPo batteries for a reasonable amount of time. I've been using Reedy Plutonium silver-compound brushes, but as I've learned, silver is more abrasive than copper and the result is the Plutonium brushes are wearing-down my commutators faster than I'd like. My commutators start to go out-of-round at the edges of the pads within a few runs, and it's not long after that before they need to be lathed to restore their performance.
Does anyone know where I can get hard-compound brushes that are made from a normal copper/carbon compound, instead of silver? Standup brushes are fine, I'm probably going to convert my laydown motors to use standup brushes in the near future anyway, to reduce the number of different spare brushes I have to keep on-hand.
