My motor collection...before and after picts lol.

Post by Emaxx2.0 »

New to the forum here. I might be little young...24 but I have a soft spot for vintage RC....especially Tekin, Race Prep, Maxtec and Reedy. Where is what I acquired over the years. These are brands I grow up around but never could afford being a kid. BTW this is before my GF lol

The orange Race prep was brand new and it went to a user on the Traxxas forum for his 4wd Wildcat shelf queen...perfection...glad the motor went to a amazing project and home.


And now After :'(. These are currently hanging on my wall in my room.

Reedy is now on the wall. Was hard finding a dyno tuned with the blue endbell.

LOL. Yes it was getting terrible. But most have been sold and I have only a few stockers on my wall and 2 that I can run. My collection was only missing a Reedy KY arm and PT motor/arm before I sold it. I look at it this way...someone got to be running them...or destroyed them :cry:

Lots of good stuff there. I have one of those Revenge of the Monster Pro motors in the package as well. Last time I looked at it I noticed it had some tiny rust spots on it. :?

Great collection!

The Reedy Sonic has got to be the most desirable out of that lot - for of us Associated fans at least! 8)

I rather like the orange ended Race-Prep motor.... I have an MG 'Orange Dot' - which must use the same can & endbell - so very distinctive!

The Integy Matrix motors were the last brush stock motors I used for indoor touring car racing, I sure don't miss those days of skimming/new brushes/magnet zapping every other week just to get that little 'edge' of performance.

Now must be the time to pick up these old brushed motors - model shops must have lots of NIB motors they can't sell & would be only too happy to sell off cheap.

Thanks guys. Sadly I was force to sell most of my motors b/c of my now Ex- GF :'(. I did keep the Maxtec(it's in a vintage blue eagle transmission), the raceprep outlaw(almost mint and brand new spare armature NIB) and all my rebuild-able 27turn stocks. Trinity, orion core, Gm racing and MVP. I even have a nearly impossible to find mystery stock hanging on my wall. I mostly completed these motors for the box artwork. My favorite is the Trinity Paradox and P2k. and Harry...IDK what you're talking about...I never owned a Trinity Cobalt :lol: :lol:
