Bishop motors...

[Doc Wells]

Does anyone know what model number i can buy to replace my motors on my bishops???? asap..

[OwlsDen]

If you remove and measure it you can order the mabuchi replacement. I think the size is about 25x35mm but I do not have one. Also I think it uses the 12 volt version of the motor. Hope that helps. All motors have standard sizes in mm so measure across the front face and across the side for measurement.

isnt Franco offering an upgrade to the maxon motors for the original frames? maybe contact him find out for sure?

[OwlsDen]

Yes he did mention that too. Might as well upgrade. Expect to spend close to 100$ if that is too much for some reason the mabuchi isn't more than 15$

I just recently upgraded my bishop to the maxon motor. It cost $72 shipped and they soldered a new rca on it for me. got the motor in a couple of days.Maryam Vescovi is the one to call (949) 916-1054

[Doc Wells]

Well I did contact franco once....out who knows how many calls an emails but im trying to use my machines sooner than later. If I have replace the original $15 motor with another so be it...but I wood love to upgrade my machines ...

[ckjr]

just take the machine to a local hobby store, match out the motor as a temp fix until the new motor comes in.

[Doc Wells]

Sounds good to me I been using my coil machines and It seems tattooing with various techniques are more refined after switching.

[wildboy]

why would you want to upgrade so badly? everybody says that the mabuchi motors are great...

[turnrock]

Yeah the mabuchi is fine,I did the upgrade from Franco and honestly I barely notice a difference besides the volts it runs at

[Doc Wells]

well one motor is completely dead. and the other machine is die, slows down then speeds up.. i will be looking into a quick mabuchi replacement asap!!!!!!!!!!!!! i just gotta figure the size and where to get them from

for how long did you run the machines?

I agree completely. It just feels a little more punchy,but not anything of a real noticeable difference
