Pics of the motor I posted is still for sale. No way am I that gullible. Springs and brushes I got from him are obviously brand new, but no way will I buy from his scammin' ass again after seeing postings of his shady faux motors.

Yep, best too stay with Lemans. Better looking and impossible to recreate.

Endbell is held onto the can with the two tabs on the can, not screwed to the can. All pink labels I've seen so far are black cans and say Trinity on the endbell. This one looks fishy, or is just me?
That's a stock motor. Yes, it appears legit because I have a nib version of the same motor. However I do not recall if it's Epic or Trinity on the endbell or the stamp(s) on the bottom of the can. I will try to check tonight and update this post.

That's not quite true. It's possible to replace a rare Lemans motor's comm with a cheap comm from another Lemans motor. Didn't you guys get snuckered that way with one of the Lemans motors you bought?

Is Trinity stamped on the bottom of the can or no? Good to know. Thanks for posting your motor.

I was talking about at bottom of the can, not on the endbell.
