Re: Home Brew Connector Adapters
B5A876D2-814B-4619-9617-4E38D772E0D4.jpeg I’m a big fan of the helping hand 8) this is what I use, but I need to add some tubing to the clips like in your picture. My clips "bite" too deeply into older wire unless i protect it somehow. I've been using scraps of paper, but the tubing is mu...

Re: Stripped Le Mans 480Gold mounting holes
It took me a while to follow-through but i obtained the helicoil kit and completed the repair tonight. I'm happy with the result! I repaired the 3 stripped holes and IMO it looks good (well, the repair, not necessarily the motor!) and holds securely on the Ultima. The motor has perhaps been too well...

a custom replacement part on the cheap - Boomerang battery door pin
Thought I would share a quick fix that turned out better than I expected for my Boomerang. I got this car a while ago used and it has always been missing the plastic pin for the battery door.

I picked up this Reedy DS Racing Motor recently. The guide only lists DS Spec and DS Modifieds, but this one is a tabbed stock can with bushings. It's stamped ROAR 96. I can't find much information on the web, and was hoping someone here might have some background on it. I did find this Reedy 1998 c...

Re: Reedy DS Racing Motor ?
Thanks for the feedback! I’ve seen a few and have a couple but never with the red top or purple heat sinks they’re usually silver along with bearings. Yes -- that's what I expect the modified would normally look like. I assumed the purple heat sinks were aftermarket. I'll take a wild guess that it's...

Re: Reedy DS Racing Motor ?
Could be part Firehawk. Good call!! I found closeup pictures in an auction listing and the Firehawk endbell appears to be pretty much same color and exactly same design. Also the steel can is the same color and the front and sides have same pattern of vent holes and markings. It looks like it could...

Re: two Le Mans 480 Gold motors - build-up choice...?
Yeah, you're right... I swapped the end bells, looked at it some more and on its own the motor looks nice. I was being too picky...!
