leisure 05 motors
Just snagged a couple never run leisure motors. I know they did air and land, anyone have any info on these? One is a stock motor with "sagami" on the end bell, and the mod is blank.
Just trying to get an idea of what era car they belong in. I show them in the 1985 Hobby Shack catalog but not sure how far back they go
Just received another wacky version...interesting end bell, looks almost like an astro-flite

Re: leisure 05 motors
The stock motor looks exactly like the first Yokomo motor introduced in 1982, beside the endbell says not Yokomo as usually but Sagami. There is nothing wrong with this as Sagami was making the Yokomo motors but I never have seen this before, at least I can´t remember this.
The modified motor I think will be maybe not a real modified but a machine modified but for knowing exactly you have to disassemble the motor. I just can see Japan at the endbell but I think this again is a Sagami can, of different series. Some motors of Demon Products UK and early LRP motors were based on this can series also. One of the cans had a red aluminium frontplate looking similar to this motor but it was not good as the magnets were very weak. Another version looking quite the same but using a onepiece steel can had very good magnets and thick can wall and was one of Demon´s very best motors.
I have to go through my motor collection, maybe I have one of these still laying here. Overall I have to say these are not the early Leisure motors. One of their best vintage motors sold in about 1980 was based on the 2nd generation AYK motor. I try posting a picture in the next days.

Re: leisure 05 motors
Good info! From my reading it sounds like Sagami made motors for a lot of manufacturers bitd.
I know they aren't very desirable but the fact they were brand new I couldn't turn them down. I'll pop the mod apart and post up some pics.

Re: leisure 05 motors
Yes Sagami was making a lot of cans and complete motors which were sold with different labels afterwards. Most known are Yokomo, Reedy, Orion, GM-Racing, Corally and others but some of these brands also were selling motors based on other origin than Sagami. I think you won´t find much motors labeled as Sagami.
I don´t tink these Leisure motors are not desirable. I have not seen really much Leisure motors until now, most of them being Igarashi based but these newer ones I never saw before. The modified motor is maybe not the most advanced motor but this type of can should be very rare today. I like the sticker on the stock motor, it is looking a little like the old Igarashi based Leisure motors beside the colour. These were using white background.

Re: leisure 05 motors
Cool loking motors, good its got aluminum at least on one side, better heat dissipation but the back where the brushes are gets the most heated up, which they had aluminum backs as opposed to plastic ones. AND couldn't these motors have internal fans?? for better cooling!
