Not that it matters, but it was probably last raced in a silver can class.

I'd check that motor closely. It might even be a "cheater" motor of some sort.

Thanks!
Kinda want to go with a green theme on this car. Already doing pink on my Yok '91 Works project.
I think it‘ll come down to what I can find…

Might be possible. Didn’t ask the guy.
I‘ll have a look if it was reopened. Or what would be a giveaway?

If there are any markings, they will be inconspicuous.

Maybe an extra red dot somewhere or scratches on the can where it was tweaked.

If it was, the seller would have likely mentioned it.

If you run the motor and it seems surprisingly powerful, that would be a good indicator. If it seems pitiful and weak, then it's likely unimproved.

Got some motors today.. the MTM is going in my JRXT and the Twister 15x2 is going in the display collection..love the neon colors on that label!

Got my package from WA in finally, after it's extended Aussie tour..... nothing much, just some more 21.5 motors, a quad pack of new Futaba S3003 servos, and another un-branded servo.
The S3003 servos will be perfect for my ongoing M03 and M05 builds

I see Mr. Sandbag is splashing out for an incredibly serious 21.5..... Hmmm....

I'm collecting 21.5 motors, @RC10th ..... I added these not long ago. Don't ask me why

New lambs for the slau... err conversion process.

My first airbrush setup! Been wanting to do this forever but always put it off.

It's Christmas in July here. Returned home from being away all week to a bunch of goodies
A Losi 22s that will likely sacrifice it's transmission to my LXT LUNCHBOX! I actually have the chassis already built now. CVD parts for various prjocts. the Mini ones are going to be used on my mod Mini JRXT. My XX-4 finally has matching front bones. Also the servo saver setup for my Gemini.

It was a good Kyosho day..

A new 480S.


And something I thought I would never find..A W-5005 Special Rod Set(Turnbuckle upgrade) for my Maxxum FF build.

A bunch of odds and ends for the Lazers and XXX, the most noteworthy being the Rere Kyosho Gold shocks that were back in stock (albeit with a 'B' suffix) for the Pakistan Lazer
