One of my Delta Pocket Rocket 1:18 scale cars came with a Futaba FP-S 143 servo.
I tried to find specs and release date for this servo, but I can´t find anything.
The usual Futaba database for discontinued servos don´t mention this servo.
So anyone have more knowledge?

Dinglem Thanks a lot for the pics of your Bolink Reedyfied motor. This is an awesome motor and I certainly would be happy to own such. It looks exactly like a Reedy of the same era but wear the Bolink sticker. The very early Igarashi based motors like this one were even more work to get a modified. ...

Thanks. I think i have to order more of them. Found they are useful for other vintage items too...

Great find for the CS. I have an used one without the heatshrink.
The heatshrink is not the problem, but the sticker.

Not to pollute this thread, but I think there is a little bit of hair splitting here. However, I see where everyone is coming from. But it appears that Mr. Reedy/Associated took particular care to advertise and label his modified (by their standards) motors as "MODIFIED" while what most p...

So the Tekin M Star Gold is a special version made for Yokomo. But basically it is a G12?
Of course it looks special and nice.

Could you please tell me where Mike Reedy called an Esprit series motor being a modified? I checked the ads for the Esprit series and there are some samples mentioned as "Ultimate". I can see the words "modified racing". Well of course you could use such motor for racing at the m...

Useless discussion about wanting a mass produced motor being called a modified.

The topic is Reedy Modifieds, nothing else.

Congrats, this is definitely a nice display. Are the motor stands homemade or available somewhere? I like the angled presentation more but have not found something so far for this task. Thanks, yes they can be found on ebay, usually from China & prices vary. Here's an example. https://www.ebay....

Actually it´s not important if you call such motor stock, machine wound or budget motor.
But a machine wound never will be a modified.

Esprit might be similar as Trinity Speedworks. Those are budget motors as well.

Specs for stock motors changed over time. There are lots of stock motors which came with ball bearings and adjustable timing.
But a full modified motor needs a handwound armature and Esprit motors are not handwound.

Great find.
Ebay UK ?

Regarding the Esprit series I had several of them but sold all. Maybe because they are no modifieds.

The Yokomo motors with the golden heatsink actually were known at Wet Mag motors.
Losi kept with that name. Reedy went with Ultra.

I'm not sure what model that yellow label would be. I remember the green label Ultra series motors were gold star, pink dot, red dot, blue dot, etc. Basically all the motors were having green label with minimal ability to distinguish between them once out of the package beyond a little model sticke...

I know this is a motor display thread, but is there a build thread on that Schumacher? :D Unfortunately not although I did enter it in the Build of the Month a while back. Here it is under the body. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50324343286_647fdc0dae_k.jpg Great build. Where did you find tha...
