Atlas motor tune up help

Post by HotWheelsSteve »

Hello everyone. I have new Atlas brush kits, springs, screws etc, but I've some different sized motor brushes compared to others. Why is this?
Also, the springs don't fit inside the brush screws. They are identical otherwise. Can you assist me please?

They are all brand new, I bought them a long time ago on ebay. Thank you, Steve
Hopefully you can see this picture:

Hi Pete, the motor brand may be Pittman, but the 1/24 chassis looks like 1/32 Atlas.

cheers

Hi Steve,

As we spoke of yesterday, you have a hybrid bunch of parts. The carbons and springs are for a larger diameter brush holder.

If anybody out there has the smaller diameter brushes and springs or knows where to get them, please contact (pm) Steve or myself on this board .
