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.

Re: Trinity Monster Horsepower Pink Label, legit?
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.R6cowboy wrote: ↑Tue Mar 30, 2021 5:43 pm Were there ever Monster Horsepower Pink Label motors with a silver can (Trinity not stamped or engraved at bottom of can) and a black plastic Epic endbell? 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?

Re: Trinity Monster Horsepower Pink Label, legit?
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?TheDiamondOne wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 1:23 pmYep, best too stay with Lemans.

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

Re: Trinity Monster Horsepower Pink Label, legit?
Someone just paid big $$$ (was being offered for $250) for a motor that to me looks like the dark coating was removed from the can and an Ultrahive restoration label was bought and added. I've only seen Ultrahive restoration labels have both the TM and R symbols, not original Trinity labels. The listing didn't say the motor was original, buy kind of danced around that with claims of minimal use.
