Re: Kyosho now on the re-re bandwagon - Scorpion
HI!... So I was going through some RC motors tonight and came across this. It's a Kyosho Le Mans 480 Gold. Didn't even know I had this. lol! Anyone got any info on it? Never heard of it but I'm not a Kyosho guy. Was thinking of cleaning it up and seeing if I could get a repo sticker made up for it and using it in my Kyosho Scorpion RE-RE shelf queen.
Thanks :
Neal.

I don't know much about the 490 that kyosho released but I would get any of their 80s anodized motors , really cool. Anyone know IF there are 'LEMANS' motor decals available somewhere???? Man it JUST looks SO COOL!
I like the red, blue and green Lemans, beautiful colors.

If I were willing to do business with eBay I'd be all over this like white on rice.

HI!... So the 480 Gold was a good motor back in the day? Kinda like the Tamiya Technagold 540 vz? How many turn was it rated for?

Re: Kyosho now on the re-re bandwagon - Scorpion
The 480 Gold would be fine in the new Scorpion. I restored mine years ago when I restored the Zebra Optima, but I found it wasn't very torquey, at least not in a 4WD on 7.2V NiCad batteries. It strangely wasn't rated for 8.4V use, but I can't really see why not; it had all the goodies that the best Le Mans motors had, including alloy endbell and bearings. I ended up installing it in the Marui Galaxy I resto-modded for my brother.THE H.P FREAK wrote:HI!... So I was going through some RC motors tonight and came across this.

As far as stickers go...I could be mistaken, but I seem to recall something about UltraHIVE making stickers for motors...maybe he has them for the Le Mans motors?

Re: Kyosho now on the re-re bandwagon - Scorpion
I don't think the 480 Gold was as powerful as the TechniGold. I would suggest the 360 Gold and 240S/240SB were comparable to the TechniGold, and possibly even more powerful.

Re: Kyosho now on the re-re bandwagon - Scorpion
HI!... O.k thanks. I'm just being retarded tonight. lol! Anyway I can get a repo motor decal for this 480 Gold motor? I'd really like to use it in my Scorpion re-re build.

Re: Kyosho now on the re-re bandwagon - Scorpion
I'm clueless about the label but if it were me I'd put some new bearings and brushes in it and use it. Looks like it would make a nice motor for the re-re.THE H.P FREAK wrote:HI!... O.k thanks.

Re: Kyosho now on the re-re bandwagon - Scorpion
A few more option parts and mine will have all the options. I ordered the swing-shaft set from JR-RC but I don't think I'm going to receive them because its been a month now and he rejects all communication.
My only indecision at this point is do I put a brushless LeMans in this car or a brushed LeMans.
