Now I might totally wrong but 05 might mean 0.5 horsepower. You will get average 0.5 horsepower from this size (540-size) electric motor for industrial use.

heh, maybe .05 HP
no way a stock 7.2v (6v rated) 27 turn motor from 15 - 20 years ago will get anything close to 1/2 hp
a 15 - 21 size nitro motor from back then was lucky to hit .75hp

your typical 540SH barely cranks out 70W... they should be called class 01 then

Very nice! I've only got a few Kyosho motors and they are lovely bits of kit. My favourite is the Gold High Torque motor with the machined aluminium end bell, shame it's not complete as I don't have the armature.

Yahoo Japan always has such nice stuff on it. Shame it's not easy to use if you live in the UK

Does Yahoo Japan have an English site? Kind of hard to do searches when my keyboard doesn't do calligraphy...
