Super Stock Champ 2006 Group: Respected member Posts: 850 Member No.: 21 Joined: 17-January 05	Not particularly often, probably get three or more meetings before the motor starts to feel "soft" and I skim. I don't change the brushes every time, I've only used about three sets all year. For club racing with the tourer on the slippy floor you don't need to do a huge amount of motor maintenance. When you skim/change brushes, the biggest difference is in the "rip" of the motor, top end is pretty similar. You need to gear them right to get longer life though, I geared the 19T too high in the buggy at Oxclose and cooked a pair of brushes in less than 10 minutes running.

White foams are definitely the softest (and as I mentioned to you the other day Colin, they are the reason you were losing tyres, they let the tyre deform so much that they come off the rim).
