Several moths ago I've bought a RF Wing Stock to made an addition to my small collection. Seller have been so kind sending me some old advs allowing me to know something more about Wing motors: YMW4 Wing 4 Modified Motor 16 turn single YMW2 Wing 2 Modified Motor 15 turn single YMW RF Wing Stock Moto...

Recently I've purchased a Wing Stock RF and a Wing 2 in the attempt to form the complete Wing motors line up. The Wing 2 seller have been so kind sending me some old advs regarding Yokomo motors that clear the point about turns: YMW4 Wing 4 Modified Motor 16 turn single YMW2 Wing 2 Modified Motor 15...

You could make a motor flag. A brass rod with a steel square on it. You insert it instead of the rotor and the flag should point to the center of the magnets. The magnets don't just lose magnetism, they lose center too. Would give you a feel for how strong they are. Interesting, I will try for sure...

Happy new year to you all!

I've noticed that some of my brushed motors (mostly used, some refurbished) are easy to spin by hand than others. I'm deeply ingnorant about electrics and I'm prone to think that it's something about magnets. Am I right or not?

Hi all, months ago I've bought this abused Tamiya Acto Power Off Roader 2wd Motor. https://tcphotos.net/images/2021/12/13/IMG_20211211_1215408472.md.jpg Now I'm in the condition to full restore it because I've bought a new endbell (with new brushes), a brand new armature and a MCI sticker to refresh...

Congrats to the winner, well played by all of us!

The Delta Ray Buggy an hybrid between Manta Ray and Lancia Delta HF Integrale following the footsteps of the Yokomo Hot Dog 4. Ko Propo servo and receiver, Robitronic Speedstar 2 ESC and Peak 12x2 motor complete the job. https://www.tcphotos.net/images/2022/06/06/drb_rc10talk01.jpg https://www.tcpho...

Using a custom made TA02's chassis strechted to reach TA01 wheelbase and a twin gear diff set up I was planning to (quick) build a robust ca...

Looks great, I love trailing arms and front mono set up

Hi guys, recently I've purchased a pair of Peak brushed motors but I don't know anything about them. I've seen there were Peak Performace, Peak Racing and then Peak in the good old days is it the same brand?

Sounds interesting, maybe it is the time to give to my Integy 55T a second chance.

Hi guys, I'm going to use the Trinity comm lathe bought months ago and I need to know wich is the proper motor to use in. It came with a Fantom stock motor but I would like to know if a silver can will do the job or if it's better to keep the Fantom. Thanks in advance.

Well, I've checked if there is any engrave on the can or somewhere else but there isn't anyting. I've shot some pics showing the wires tabs on the armature and to me it's a double... https://www.tcphotos.net/images/2021/11/21/IMG_20211120_101239625.jpg https://www.tcphotos.net/images/2021/11/21/IMG_...

I haven't seen engraving, I will look better of course.

How many wire strands are there under the folded tabs of the commutator? One of the tabs will have more than the others, but the others will at least tell you if it's a single wind, double, etc. Unfortunately no easy way to tell how many turns are on it. I have to check it better, I haven't my rc s...
