There is a description somewhere for the armature but have to search. Also there was an ad at a magazine but I don´t remember where. I just know it was a very fast 1/12 scale motor. And looking from the outside to the armature I can see a lot of copper. I think bearing size could be seen only after ...

I just found some motors.
Fantom motor with Checkpoint Platinum can

Very early Checkpoint Igarashi can.
Not BoLink Checkpoint. Real Checkpoint.

And another holy grail for me.
Delta motor, built by a certain world champion

Nice story about old ESC.
What is really interesting to me is the relais found at the PCB. It is fully watertight and is what I used also at my own ESC around 1982/1983.

The 17x3 Oval and the 19T (I think double) were the first Revolution production motors. Before them I got a 16x3 and a 18x3 prototype motor, right for our Nationals. The 18x3 was not working for me. The 16x3 was one of my fastest motors ever. When the armature burnt later, I replaced this motor with...

Some of the parts go for a Demon 1/12 scale

That Auto Modeller article is interesting, didn´t saw so far. Well, I personally made my own ESC when I started into 1/12 scale cars in 1978, as I didn´t like the MSC. But this doesn´t count for the question. Delta Autodrive was very interesting ESC but far from being the first. Their small 1/18 sca...

Thank you Chris. This is useful informations, even when some msteries maybe never will be come to daylight.
But is means this motor could be used just at certain cars.

The Trinity EX Tech Experimental motors usually come with grey can and endbell and golden brush setup. I got a different version with purple can and endbell and silver brush setup. The label is exactly the same as with the other version. I tried to find specs or infos on this version but struggle so...

Well I like Delta cars (any) and build and collect them. Also I run Super-J project cars. The battery for the receiver and servos was 5 cells usually. Regarding the size I don´t know the name of the cells, but they are larger diameter and much shorter than AA cells. Sanyo made those cells I think ma...

Another Demon motor based on the Yokomo can was the Demon Pink. I received this motor from Nick in I think 1985 also. It was his personal prototype motor. He tried this motor in the RC10 and told me it´s not good but I should try at my car and our races. Beside the RC10 I bought also a Hirobo Zerda ...

Great thread - thanks for this. Was an informative read. I was quite surprised to read the early Reedy link as I was not aware of that, but i have just had a skim through of some early Demon adverts and located some Reedy listings with the typical coloured Reedy Dot nomenclature along with some let...

Had a look to my two other Demon motors but no photos. One motor is Yokomo based as well and the sticker looks exactly like the Green A Reedy. But there is not the small white timing sticker. So the question is, is it a real Reedy motor or not. I don´t want to disassemble at the moment. But the arma...

But I wonder why it is actually tech talk between us and no other guys involved.
I know there have been interest before. And Demon motors had been very popular in Europe.
So guys come on and post your motors and knowledge. Or questions.
