Nice. I have seen a few Sagami MG's where Mick has actually taken the trouble to machine off the DEMON logo around the endbell bearing!!

I have one, an MG Red Dot + and you're right, no Demon on the endbell.

In the late 1970’s Electro Craft had an ESC that gained popularity at the NORCAL 1/12 electric racing series in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. I think Electro Craft was based nearby in San Jose. They had a fast sponsored driver named Steve Betts. As I recall they had some overheating and braking issues, so I never tried one. I ran the reliable resistor/servo setup.
