Knowing how many old school motor gurus we have on here, anything look familiar or indeed desirable?

Eh. mostly just motors. The Johnson Mabuchi motors White endbell may be worth something to Tamiya collectors.

Well I just dug them out while looking for a new motor for a mate's new car needs a 380, but mine are all 540s, I have loads of the white cap Johnsons just only put one in pic, mostly came in bundles of other stuff, so if they are worth nothing no matter. Just more junk in the shed

SMT motors & Elite Power motors?

Is anyone familiar with SMT motors? The label says it's from France. They are Yokomo based motors.

The RCH company is not really known to me, other than they have been based in California and made option parts for 1/10 scale offroad cars.
Now I saw a motor somewhere which was named as RCH as well.
This motor was based on the old Igarashi can, so...

Well, the fact that the labels were still the black and white label makes me think this was something else my dad did, but I never ran one of those. Those were early offerings but didn't last long. Now that I look at the back of the labels, it...

I have had these almost as long as I have had my buggy.

So I am not sure if they are just showing age or if they are not geared right when I use them.

Any ideas?

I know the one on the left is not old... it is an Orion 8T

I got these old motors with some stuff I bought. The Speed Gem 2 is obvious but why is it missing a side of the top with a brush? Any ideas? Then the other one I have no idea about. Has pinion, spur, and turn markings and it has ROAR 91 on the end...

Trying to remember what was hot back in the day...we ran two motors in our car, mostly in stock class races.

B&R stock
Slot Machine

What was a good modified motor?
What did y'all run in your jrx2?

Came across this recently and had to pull the trigger. Not too sure what is in it - check. Well aged yellowed plastic case -check. Small bits of dog hair tangled around parts -check. Attempt to bring them back from the dead? Sure, why not? :D...

Thanks for the leads! I checked UltraHive site and you are correct. It's a bizarre layout and I couldn't find anything related to RC there. I will check MCI but sounds like the Twisters decal is missing the foil backing to make it look more...

Anybody heard of them, or better still got one (or even a pic of one)?

Last post

I have a vague recollection of that company, they may have been out of the North East of the USA, like Massachussetts or New York. In operation around the turn of the century perhaps...??

First post

They're not mint examples but I got my first three Igarashi based motors in a lot this week. A Leisure Mod motor, a stock Trinity that a previous owner opened, and a Bolink that's seen better days.

The Leisure Mod is the most...

Yeah the bushings are loose. The blue Bolink endbell is cracked around the bushing so it moves a lot. The bushing in the white Trinity endbell moves a little too but that's more poor design than physical defect.

The small bushings in the end bell...
