Re: Ultimate Vintage Brushed Motor Reference Guide (Discussion Topic)

Spotted this on ebay and thought it is neat. Igarshi motor being sold by Yokomo for their Miniracer RC-12. Would've been really cool if it had a Yokomo label on it. The RC-12, RC-12Jr & RC-12Jr USA Models had a 280 Mabuchi Motor Had one or the other. None had a decal. 380 Mabuchi Motor 380 Reed...

Re: Ultimate Vintage Brushed Motor Reference Guide (Discussion Topic)

Thanks again for all the input everyone. Interesting stuff. Your all's stuff is a lot better than mine! :lol: I have a Slot Machine 2 but I don't want to bastardize it to suit my needs. The Street Spec isn't stock of course but should suit my needs nicely. It'll clean up pretty nicely. The label is...

Re: Ultimate Vintage Brushed Motor Reference Guide (Discussion Topic)

So back to the original question, does anyone know if Gonzo/Wimpy labeled made any green motors, or is it a mislabeled Green Machine 2? Oddly enough, I ran across a GM2 digging thru some motors yesterday. It would clean up pretty nice if the previous owner had put their capacitors on the other side...

Re: Ultimate Vintage Brushed Motor Reference Guide (Discussion Topic)

What exactly is a "tear down"? I can tell from the context that it basically means the same motor, but do they buy them plain and just slap their label on them, or is there more to it? Teardown motors were done from motor companies for years. Trinity used Kyosho for a bit over a year then...
