I got it in a box if parts and just wanted to know what it originally came with and what wind it may be. I tried searching the forum but i couldn't find one like this.
I had some of this era motors. They went by color, I.E. pink dot, blue dot, red dot ect. I think that the red dot was a 17 turn, the pink maybe a 15 turn.
The dot or star are those that tells You the wind. They are in can near one of the endbell closing screw under the big Reedy sticker. It seems to be there but I could not see the color of the dot from that angle.
Thanks for the tips. I've looked where you suggested but there is only a white sticker with timing marks on it. I can't seem to find any dots or stars anywhere so maybe they've been rubbed off over the years. Thanks anyway
Are you sure it's 21, and not something else (perhaps the 1 is first, like 12 or 13 or 17 or something)? if the writing was sloppy it could maybe look like 21 if it were upside down.
just asking because 21 seems like an uncommon/unlikely wind. there was plenty of 27 turn motors (stock), plenty of 19 turn motors (outlaw stock / west coast / whatever), and the common "mod" winds typically started around 16 and would go down to 12 or 10 or so.
Easily possible to be a 21, in 1985-1987 when that motor was being done there was no 27t Roar 91-
stock ranged from 34t and some other random turn and that was when you could "adjust" the timing via L wrench, pinion and pliers the lower turns like 10's-13's were more popular in the "Left Coast" because of the track types IMO

I remember the "Dots" being a couple years later than '87. I still have a Yellow dot that is a 15-turn. Used it in my 10L Graphite and bought it new at the same time as the 10L.
Can anyone tell me what pinion gear I should use for this (6 gear transmission) buggy and motor. I have a 54 tooth spur gear on it. Also...how many turns is this modified motor. I thionk I heard once that it is a 12 turn?????? Is that correct? I...

I'd stick with the stock motor for now with a 11-12t pinion. Robinson racing makes them from 9-22t in 32 pitch. You can get them at tower if you need them:
Just purchased this motor. Supposed to be a Mach II stock motor, has stand up brushes. Any other info would be appreciated.

Tested out the motor earlier in the 10T. Pretty impressive for how old it is. It was definitely undergeared but pulled some nice wheelies and sounded smooth and clean. Didn't appear to have much time on it either. I'm happy.
Picked up this cadillac label reedy modified, but no dot sticker on it. Its a double, but no clue what wind. I know its unlikely, but can anyone tell from the pic?

No rush at all, but that would be great. A pic when its apart incase it looks obviously different and any info you can get would be fantastic!
My calipers go down to 3 decimal places and then halfs. I can measure the resistances too.

O.k. I want to ask everyone help put a Electric Motor Timeline for Associated and Reedy Motors. I am going to take an educated guess at what I think the timeline might be from earliest...

Some NICE pieces of RC History right there... Kudos and hope they are on display at the Golden Year's RC Museum which I would love to visit one day... :D
