DCHOMOTORS - Custom Aurora Pancake Armatures

Welcome

Custom Wound Pancake Armatures for Aurora ThunderJet, AFX, WizJet, and Dash HO Scale Slot Cars.

Road Race Motors

Every Road Race Motor made from select parts, custom machined, custom wound, balanced, and measured to strict standards to insure precision. These motors are predictable and powerful.

All Road Race Motors designed and built to run on Rail or Braided tracks powered by Wall Warts, Batteries, and Regulated Power Supplies unless indicated otherwise. The better the power source, the better the performance.

Drag Race Motors

Every Drag Motor made from select parts, custom machined, custom wound, balanced, and measured to strict standards to insure precision. The motor shafts are welded and are wound with High-Temperature wire. They are predictable and powerful.

All Drag Motors designed and built to run on Rail or Braided tracks powered by Batteries, or Regulated Power Supplies only. The better the power source, the better the performance.

Pancake Motor Balancing

Send your favorite Aurora, Dash, TFX, or AutoWorld motor for precision motor balancing for faster, quieter performance.

DC HO Motors

Where Speed Lives.

All motors are designed to run in TJet and AFX chassis.

Aurora based Motors are not compatible in AutoWorld Chassis's.

Armature Inspection/Balancing

Looking to build a race car using a factory Aurora, Dash, or AutoWorld armature? Send me your favorite Factory Stock Armatures and I will perform the following services for you to maximize the performance of your motor:

Visual Inspection: I visually inspect the armature for any obvious flaws that would impede it's performance.
Electrical Checks: Measure for uniform resistance (ohms) across all armature poles and test for electrical shorts.
Shaft Inspection/Polishing: Measure the shaft for straightness, adjust if necessary, and polish it.
Commutator Plate Truing: Measure the commutator plate for perpendicularity (run-out) to the shaft, adjust if necessary, and polish it.
Stack Truing: True the pole faces (stacks) for concentricity to the shaft, and even air gaps between magnets. (Note: this is done on a lathe for precision turning, not a Dremel Tool.
Epoxy Balancing: Balance the armature with Epoxy (if a gross out of balance condition exists).
Material Removal Balancing: for armatures with a slight out of balance condition.
