Looking for can type motors

Postby FootScoot » Mon Nov 25, 2013 8:07 pm

I'm looking for some can type motors of the high performance kind that run counterclockwise. Is there such an animal out there? I've looked but didn't come up with anything. Are there any custom motor builders that could do this. Any help appreciated. :text-thankyouyellow:

To run the other direction, all you need to do is reverse polarity on the commutator(flipping the motor in the mounts also achieves this), or flop the magnets around, OR just flop the Crown gear to the other side of the pinion on the axle.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably have to flop the magnets, as I want to run the power through the can end, and that's the only way the motor will work in the chassis (Ninco Kart) as it's an anglewinder setup. :text-thankyouyellow:
