Ultimate Vintage Brushed Motor Reference Guide (Discussion Topic)

Anyone familiar with Team Tanaplan modified motors? HPI end bell but bushings instead of bearings.

I have some (all?) of their winds added to the reference guide but have yet to come across any additional information on them such as part numbers. Apparently they were based in London England, and made other hop-ups mainly for Schumacher it seems.

A person like dinglem might be someone who'd have more info.

I don't know if the armature in mine is stock, but it looks a lot like a 27x1 and the can and end bell both have a bronze bushing. It runs like a low spec stock motor, but the can says modified. The can label has been trimmed, so maybe that's what modified really means.

I got you

[Frankentruck]

Excellent, thanks! I saw another one for sale with an Air Supply endbell, an that looks like what is in the ad too.

Mine is back to the correct Team Tanaplan can and end bell configuration, and with a strong running mod 13T armature that needed a home.

Is there a stock motor with a hot pink end bell? Vintage or modern.

[Frankentruck]

There are a couple of options.

There are quite a few
Trinity was a large amount of the hot pink made a few stock threw out the years other manufacturers use them in there own tear down builds.
1996 Trinity Monster Horsepower Jr. # 1000
1994 Trinity Monster Stock Jr. Pt. 2 #1001
1995 Trinity Monster Stock Jr Three 27T Short Stack Motor #RC2097
To name a few Trinity.
Mike Walker owner of Twister motors made a few in his Pocket Rocket line as well.
Pink can MG Red Dots from 92-93
Me personally being a vintage brush motor guy cant speak on newer but none come to mined other then OMG brushless that has done pink.

Pink end bells seem less common. I had a B&R but got rid of it because I don't collect B&R. These are the others that I know of:

Frank CAM as well as Cobra never used pink Trinity breakdowns as see in your photo. Twister is the Mike Walker pocket rocket line that I mentioned earlier. CAM was pretty much their own line. I believe they had a few Yokomo breakdowns. Cobra on the other hand they used air supply endbells some Trinity endbells some Yokomo endbells Now all their motor cans on a three above, were all chrome/silver cans. Maxtec did use pink Trinity breakdown.
The above photo of the Cobra is 1129 36° Venom Short Stack Slotted Short Stack Outlaw Stock… that was a slotted 36° silver motor can. Cobra did do some Yokomo modified black cans in a few.

Thanks for all the info fellas! I am finding a few possible matches for sale that look like they were dragged behind a car after a wedding. I'll check my own stash and see what I have and go from there.

The Twister pink stock that Frankentruck posted above is not from the pocket rocket line of motors.
