With the popularity of 1/18th scale growing, the need for more power of course becomes more important. Atomic are addressing this issue by releasing 2 new performance 380 motors, the ST-18 which is a 26T motor and will do 35,000 rpm and the ATOM-18 that is a 22T motor and will hit 40,000 rpm. Pretty decent figures for such a small motor in a small car.

Motor Maniac handy commutator cleaner Categories - Motors, Products, Tools - comments closed
This thing is really cool and simple, it takes an existing product, like the comm cleaning stick and makes it better. If the comm cleaning stick is a bit of a pain to use or you don’t have a commutator lathe, then this thing is a great solution. It comes supplied with a handle to turn the commutator, and all you do is place the supplied grinding stone into the space where the brush on your motor goes and the supplied spring keeps the correct pressure on it, then you turn the handle and it grinds the end of the commutator.
