Description:

This is my version of the original Aurora T-Jet gray tipped factory wind .....except better.  I wind it down to the lower end of the resistance range, and install my new Commutator Plate to maximize performance.  Tired of sorting through original armatures trying to find that special one in a hundred.  Try one of these.

NOTE: This is not a factory stock armature, it is a rewind.

Because everyone's needs are different with this motor please specify the following options you want when ordering:

  • Stack Truing - Yes/No

  • Epoxy Balancing - Yes/No

Power requirements:

This motor will run using wall warts to regulated power supplies.  The better the power source, the better the performance.

Magnets:

Use original Aurora Thunderjet magnets (Green/White, Green/Orange....).  If higher performance is desired you may use Tuff Ones (Red/White, Red/Black), Super II (Blue/Yellow), or Johnny Lightning (Blue/White).  Experiment with different magnets to achieve the performance you want.

Brushes:

Any good aftermarket Copper/Carbon brushes will work.
