She's a beaut! I traded my 240S back in the mid 80s for something and I kick my self ever since!

Just had these four land in my lap. The Checkpoints were some of the nicest made and best performing motors of the era I always thought. I only had one in my collection but this set came from a well-known UK racer and even included a pair of new brushes although I already have a few new sets available. I am not too well versed in the label colours and their meaning/relation to wind but perhaps somebody who knows more might be able to fill me in a little. The endbell etchings indicate 13, 14, 15 and 16 turns (I didn't think they went that low...?)

Very interesting!

Got this old Trinity rebuild with new brushes, cut comm, and ceramic bearings. @2.0 amps 7.2v she pulls 32,500rpm

Nothing like what some of you have, but this is my modest brushed collection. A few are obviously in rough shape and a couple need new bearings, but most are in fairly decent shape (three are brand new).

Along with some not pictured (in cars), being:
Another Reedy Radon and a Associated Cadillac Ave Blue label.
Trinity Topaz, Titanite, and Midnight 2.
Another Kyosho 22T Mega Stock and a 34° Super Stock.
Peak 12T Thunderbolt.
Orion 23T Rush.

Also not pictured are a Quick Turn/Bad Dog comm lathe and Integy Brush Master.

Hey Martin
Just been catching up with this wonderful thread.
For me, the highlights are all about MG.
I was also a Team Schumacher driver in the mid 90s, as well as a team MG guy.
His motors were always so good. (Cells too)
Took me to a Scottish Championship win in On Road in 1995, and you really needed horsepower on this big open tracks.
Also used to get your name in the magazines, and a Christmas card from Mick. Good times.

Does anyone have a high res scan or picture of his logo or motor stickers?? I have a buddy who could re-create them.
Thanks.
