Feedback - PTW motor repairs/ bulk shippment.

To all those PTW owners that are concerned about or have issues with their motors...

I am looking at sending out another shipment of motors to be given the "Tackleberry" treatment, but I was wondering if anyone else would like to join in on it.
The motors get shipped out to Great Britain and I send by FedEx (2-3 day express). Shipping costs will be split up equally. I have personally had 2 of my own motors serviced and I can say that the mods are well worth it!
If you should have any questions or concerns please PM me and I will do my best to answer them.

Please keep this thread clean and no PTW-bashing!

New motors arriving soon also, just a FYI.

I can vouch for tackleberry he is a PTW Guru.

He also does a custom hop-up adjuster and will water-proof your boards. If they can withstand the UK, they can withstand Canada.

But you'd have to remove your electronics from your lower. I wouldn't advise shipping the complete lower.

I can vouch for Tack's work as well,Kevin had sent one of mine in as well and very happy with it! What a difference,it's like running a modified motor in it and you can't even hear the thing turn nice,very nice!
All though you could take the electroincs out(yeh I know!),it's better than trying to sent the lower! If it's that spray he's using you can do it your self. Just an idea?
The spray is called "Electro Protect spray" they list it at survivalaids.com for $16.00.

Hey there DeathMarch...are you in on this next ship out? Hoping to send off the next batch on Monday next week ((Nov 03), depending if there is any interest here or not!

Death March · October 28th, 2008, 20:27

It's going to happen, I want the rest of mine done before the Loonie gets any lower...
I'll give people here on ASC until next Monday to get me their motor(s), after that it's tough luck!

stokes · October 29th, 2008, 00:06

Anyone know how to take the motor out? How much will the cost be Kev?

mcguyver · October 29th, 2008, 00:11

Remove grip plate screws.

Pull off grip.

De-solder motor leads.

Drive out motor retaining pins.

Turn motor 90 degrees and slide out of receiver.

Death March · October 29th, 2008, 00:15

I don't think the loonie will get any lower it can realy only go up at this point.I think it was up 3/10th today ! Hey take what we can get lol.

stokes · October 29th, 2008, 00:15

Thanks MC! Your always there to save the day like usual!

BTw MC do you think you can do the same procedure on the motor as that other guy? Rather send it to you them him... Much cheaper...

KEVORKIAN · October 29th, 2008, 05:42

DeathMarch & I sent out three motors for repairs and the cost was roughly $110 CAD /per motor. That includes shipping (there & back), repairs and paypal fees. Turnaround took exactly 2 weeks. Keep in mind that shipping is the silent killer here when it comes to the overall costs, it roughly adds up to being 50% of the total price.
This is still way cheaper than buying a new motor...

KEVORKIAN · November 1st, 2008, 19:48

I'm surprised no one is interested in getting these motor mods...
DeathMarch I'll PM you and get together so I can send them out Monday evening!

MadMax · November 1st, 2008, 19:51

Is he shooting on an acrylic clear coat? You can find that stuff at KBCTools amongst other suppliers.

KEVORKIAN · November 4th, 2008, 23:53

Too late everyone...the plane has left!
I'm surprised there was little or no interest in getting in on this...OH WELL!
