Re: Peak Brushed Motors
If you check out new in the package 'Peak' motors, you'll see they give the company as Peak Performance on the back of the header cards. So they're one and the same.
From what I've found, the one you have seems to be a 15x3.

Re: Forum News & Discussion
I'm contemplating making sub-forums for Tamiya and Kyosho's re-releases as well but not sure if it's worth it though. As seen in the above quote from last November, I created re-release sub-forums for a few manufactures but was contimplating doing Tamiya. Well I just made one for them now. I've bee...

Ha! I remember reading about that somewhere as well! I can't remember though if it was meant as satire or actually happened.

I can relate! It's one of the reasons why I enjoy sleeping into the afternoon. The less I'm awake during the day, the less I have to put up with. Hey, it works.

Re: Any tips on reducing a collection
I really need to reduce what I have as well. I came to the realization several years ago that I'm never going to finish the majority of projects I have. It's due to many factors such as a lack of time, money, desire, ambition, and health all play a part. It also affects everything else in my life, n...

Re: Currently Watching

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Yeah, unfortunately a lot of the old motors were the same on the outside with only the armatures changing. The only way to identify the specs in those cases is to take them apart to inspect the armature. I wouldn't do that on nice motors though as you risk marring them. We have an extensive guide th...

Re: Vintage Nitro Buggy Identification Needed
It's worth what someone's willing to pay. Put it up for sale at what you're comfortable with, and go from there.
