yes, you can actually determine the wind by the diameter of wire and the ohm reading of each comm (you need to get down to like 3-4 decimal places), so you need a really good meter. unfortunately, the ohm reading and wire gauge were never published....so you'd have to compare to a known reference or...

Welcome aboard!

Agree, welcome.... and it would be cool to see your motor collection.

Welcome sir! Looking forward to seeing the build. Former Oahu (Hawaii-Kai) kid here (early 80’s), you will find me mostly in the Yokomo section lol although I have a RC10GT resto on the go.

Hey. Welcome! Ummm aloha?

Excellent intro Xoid. Indeed, please post that motor collection. It's kind of an unofficial requirement from us other motor collectors on here

I use a shorty 2s lipo in my stock and custom optima mid rere's. It fits just fine with the stock velcro straps and on the custom chassis conversions it can be placed in the original position or inline and off center. Lastly, shorty lipos will work in many other modern rc cars now should you decide ...

Welcome aboard to the ... um, board!

Trying to identify motor specs can be frustrating. So many have no markings. I've had a few of those teal green label motors and none were marked with anything useful. Maybe the red dots are correct on yours and they are 17 double motors. If they are double wire at the comm terminations, that would ...

There is definitely the possibility of them being good runners (paying attention to motor temp and run time limits). Being in that nice condition, I would be hopeful that was an indication they were taken care of and had little use. For early modifieds, I don't get the impression that they were buil...

1/4" wide pinstripe tape is a good replacement, if you decide to open it up.

Welcome aboard to the ... um, board! Thanks, @RogueIV i appreciate very much. Sorta feel like ‘I’ve come back home’ when getting to talk about the RC disease with other victims, so here’s to that. —XOID It's a disease that's fun at least!, although it sure is starting to take up a good amount of ro...
