The 6.6s are not noted for reliability

Had my Storm 3 years and still on original vac's, brought a spare as been expecting one to go for a while, where did you get your new vac from?

Who fitted your replacement vac they don't like being over tightened

[oliver collins]

Hi guys
i got the replacent from cleansmart and no i didnt over tighten the vac onto the vac plate will b sending both vacs back in the new year for them to b looked at by the manufacturer.
i have replaced one before on warranty whem i first got the machine and had no problems so dont know whst to do the vacs are not cheap to keep buying and then blowing after a week !

Only asking about how they were fitted as I have a storm and thinking of converting it to electro vacs if I get any problems with mine

[fibresafe]

Maybe a duff motor? Like you say your other two 6.6 motors have lasted 3 years, which sounds like a lot to me. I'd expect to get around 18 months out of a 5.7" motor myself

If its a storm then each motor has a cord of its own so i would fit the 8amp version of the electro ,they are around 1700 or1800w  , dont think anyone has used them yet that i know of  ...  should be very powerful .   
model number  Q6600-083A-MP

Hi John

Do you have any additional info on these motors please?

[john martin]

Hi John

Do you have any additional info on these motors please?

the enforcer has the 1600w flat bottom motor at around 560 airwatts and about 7amps,  then there is the conical bottom version of that at about 580airwatts  .

The 6600-083 is conical also but the motor is more powerful .... so its about 640 airwatts .

Thanks John

How does it measure up to the 6.6? If it's anything like the motors I have in my enforcer and express... It's going to be very reliable :-)

[john martin]

It should have more suction and a bit less airflow .   Would be difficult to use it in an enforcer because of the amp draw on one cord , although u could put one in a box and attach it to the exhaust like ashbys do with the booster .   Would be suitable for a storm though .

do you think I could use the 1700 watt fursion in my Scorpions so it would be x3 motors

I would be around 16amps on one of the cords ,  in reality i'd say it would be ok , u might be running a warm plug . 
Might be better to stick to the 1600w versions , i'd say u will still see a good improvement .
