Brushed motor cans & endbells

Post by Frankentruck »

Most motor brands didn't make their own cans or endbells. A thread with the options they had to choose from might be interesting. My intention is to just have a sample of each variation of the parts.

Starting with motors using Yokomo parts. Reedy seems to have almost exclusively used Yokomo parts for most of their brushed motors.

Checkpoint motors are the most common place to find these cans and endbells but some other brands did use them. I'm not positive if Checkpoint was the maker of the parts. They are one of the cans that had an aluminum mounting face.

Kyosho made their own parts and is another that has steel cans with the aluminum mounting face.

Atlas was another make. I don't see their parts on other brands though. The chrome can here looks similar to a Sagami

I'm lumping the M's together, just because. Mabuchi and Malung
. Mabuchi also had a steel and aluminum can.

It's worth noting that Lightspeed never used a Checkpoint aluminum endbell, so the former owner swapped it out at one point. Checkpoint sold bulk platinum cans (and possibly alum endbells) to Fantom though, and they used their own arms and endbells.

There are a couple of common styles that looks to be from Kyosho design.

The Air Supply motors I've come across look to have Yokomo style cans.

I'm also going to lump together Diamond and Tomy for no particular reason.
