I know there are holes in the list, but we can continue to build on this as we go. It's fairly comprehensive thus far, so hopefully this can help those of you who are looking for the general information on these motors. Feel free to offer...

I had a Ti Modified 7x2 hanging on my wall for 15 years. 2x I installed it into new cars and both times the cars were so incredibly fast that they rolled and tumbled. One broke.
So the motor was just too powerful. I just kept shelving it. I...
A while back I found a cool thread www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=239 started by Scr8p that linked to a timeline Novak had on their website. With Novak updates ending the timeline in 2009, their eventual closure, and wayback links as the only...

Thanks for clearing up the questions I had for a long time now, with this post.
Futaba used to offer these two spec lists for their older discontinued receivers and servos. Now they're only available through the Internet Archives site. That's a bit of a pain. So I decided to edit them a bit, and post them here for easier...

I see that R142JE is called out in the manual. Somehow I muat have gotten confused about the 152 superseding the 142. Thanks for the measurements.
20 does sound like a good starting point. Just making sure 23 isn't more common.
Hey guys, what can you tell me about this one from Novak?
In the pictures, look for a short bit of wire that is located at the receiver and switch output area. There are two wires, both red, soldered together. :shock:
I don't think that part was...

Thanks for the link for the Viper build! Sweet looking car and they are not seen often. Ok, now I have a few ideas. I will make a template out of card stock and get it mocked up.
I have an Edinger motor that was working ok. After a week it got slower and slower until it stopped. With Tamiya motors and prewar lionel trains a quick spray with electric contact cleaner usually fixes this. Well after a couple of shots with...
I got a result and managed to pick up a set of nip 1001 servo gears. I have 2 servos out of action because of gears, so now have another one up and running.
Happy days.
These came in a lot I purchased about a year ago. One is the speedworks oval and the other is the speedworks 427. They both seem like they were never used and I was thinking about using one in a build im doing most likely a truck as I am a truck...

If it matters to you, the specs are as follows...
The 427 motor is a 16X2 suited for 4WD with an RPM of 36,000.
The Dirt Oval motor is a 24X1 suited for 2WD Or 4WD with an RPM of 25,200.
Thanks! I was planning on putting it in a blackfoot...
Hi guys, recently I've purchased a pair of Peak brushed motors but I don't know anything about them. I've seen there were Peak Performace, Peak Racing and then Peak in the good old days is it the same brand?
Last post
If you check out new in the package 'Peak' motors, you'll see they give the company as Peak Performance on the back of the header cards. So they're one and the same.
From what I've found, the one you have seems to be a 15x3.

If you can find a spektrum module for it you can use 2.4 unless you want to keep it original.

Hi folks,
I have an Nosram Timeout discharger. I wonder if anybody knows why there are 3 leads on the input?
They are red,black and blue.
I use it sometimes just using the red and black, but I wonder what the blue was for?
Was it for saddle packs?

As soon as I touch the wires to the motor it starts spinning at full speed. The battery is plugged in, switch on, and throttle is not being pulled. Am I just switching the motor and battery wires or is something else happening?

Thanks! The manual was helpful. Took a couple tries but I got it working.

Hi
I have a new old Futaba T2PHKA radio that draws an impressive 230mA from 8x batteries.
The radio includes a socket on the rear that looks like it should be for plug in 12V. That doesn't seem to work.
Does anyone know what the socket is for?

According to the manual, the transmitter needs a 12VDC supply.
Reducing the power supply reduces the measured RF output.

I have got to add the CX-1 from KO Propo inside the 1987 winning 4WD Schumacher Cat buggy driven by Masami. Very modern and sleek design even by today's standards.

I am looking at a bunch of vintage ESCs, but most of them date back to the 1984/1985ish era, and I am looking for something appropriate for a 1980 rig. I guess 1st question would be, were there any mass produced, quality ESCs out at that time? Was...
