Got this motor in a car I bought.

Epic can and endbell.
One streak of color left on the decal.

I´m have no idea. Any guesses?

First post

So I've had this motor since probably mid 90's or so. Some time in my younger (dumber) days I must have removed the can sticker for one reason or another. Recently I've been digging through my old RC stuff and stumbled across it. I am restoring it...

Interesting info. Thank you!

No trouble at all! That MRP of yours is really cool. Love seeing different stuff like that. If your interested I'm building a gallery post under my username.

Can anyone based on the provided pics tell what manfacture or turn of this motor is? End bell says epic, can is sliver with japan stamp on bottom. Has bearings so it can't be too cheap of a motor. What would be some good replacement brushes? Thanks

Last post

As an estimate, I would say that is a 12x1

I've owned a few Yokes and I think this is a '93 Works-am I right?
Looks very complete...I should own it in a few days.

Very nice find! One of my favorite Yokes!

First post

Look a little like those from an early Yoke(834B style) and would need gluing to a rim i.e. have no bead to fit inside a rim

Anyone have any ideas who made these and which car they were for?

Excellent! Thank you very much for the info :D :D :D

First post

So some time ago I got myself a YR-4 II with glassfiber chassis, and some junkers consisting of two incomplete YR-4 II Pro's and one YR-4 Pro (I think...?). My idea was to rebuild the complete YR-4 II with the carbon fiber parts from the YR-4 II...

Last post

Which motormount does the yr4-II (pro) use? Is it the same as the YZ-10, or is it a dark blue anodised unit? The later one requires a different length rear belt: about 1 or 2 teeth more.

How is the tension on the 483 belt on the fiberglass...
