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...

Last post

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

Found this in the bottom of a box of old rc tyres, was in a little packet with some RCPS stickers so I assume it's something RC related, can't figure out wtf it is anyone have and ideas? Just has a hole down the centre with the black nozzle thing...

Last post

Actually, Proline I think still recommends a hole is punched in some tyres.

Idea being you then get the inserts to do their job rather than having air issues (think how shock piston works with oil, but now think wheel hole with air) cause the tyre...

I saw this interesting car on Ebay. The seller doesn't know anything about it. Who made it?

(I didn't post this in the Ebay forums because I don't have the link and can't upload photos there.)

Last post

Hello Everybody!

I've got this mystery car which i need some help identifying.

The rear end and the middle looks like a RC10 B4 but the front end looks quite different.

There's no text or numbers anywhere on the chassis.

I've added some pictures...

Last post

That was quick, Thank you!
