i dont think it has worked since i got the car... all i can say is WOW
after a long day of looking for the right size brushes taking it apart fileing and putting it all together i think i should have just got a new one....

 

Cool story?

 

what kind of wheels are those? they look awesome!

 

I smaked mine with a floor jack handle and its worked ever since.which was like 5 months ago or so

 

HAHA i tryed but nothing. took it appart and there was no brushes to be found haha

 

Gonna try that when I get home

 

it'll break again. just order the new one from ZZP.

 

The reason they "Break" is from the brushes wearing out, by replacing the brushes it should work fine again. What they really needed to do is have a brushless motor in their. It would be much more effiecent and last way longer.

How does people hitting it make it start working again? like what does it do to the brushes?

 

I'm not sure if your familiar with how a brushed motor works, but if your not just google brushed motor diagram and you'll see if this doesn't make sense.

Where the brushes contact is against a rotating shaft and they slowly get worn down, there are springs pressing the brushes against it. Eventually the powder begins to build up inside of it from the brushes being worn excessivly and or/the brushes get worn the the point they can't sufficiently do their job. Hitting it with a hammer will knock the powder around allowing electrical contact again/get the brushes pushed against the motor shaft again/whatever particular problem is happing in that specific one.

However that is a temp fix usually and will fail again. They are rebuildable though. brushes are cheap and I beleive there is even a How To on the forums.

yup, i followed it haha

 

They look like the Enkie PF01, i'm looking at getting them in black. I just got my new pump in the mail tuesday.
