what to do with my growing motor tower
it seems such a waste to see these once top of the line motors go to waste is there an easy fix to get some of them running

Looks like you need to buy your self a com lathe and start rebuilding.I use old motors in most of my runners and just keep rebuilding them when they need it.Nothing better than seeing a period correct motor in your car.

Sell them as a lot on eBay and put the money towards a single brushless motor.

They are good to make a roller more 'complete' if you decide to sell it

I have the top left and the green machine 2.
haven't ever used them.
...went straight to brushless on the rc10t after buying it on Ebay.
What did you think of those motors? Memorable at all?

JRX2 in the late 80s... have since come to my senses with the RC10T, yes of course it's vintage! Wife is always destroying her Tamiaya LunchBox to call me her personal mechanic a few more times. Enjoying the fresh build of an RJ Speed Digger.

If you were to keep any of them, the Trinity Monster stockers and the Revtech would be good for place holders on vintage shelfers if they cleaned up nice.

Re: what to do with my growing motor tower
I run a set of Sapphires in my Clod, I have a set of nib Onyx as well.
Those motors don't even look like they were run - you didn't photoshop them did you ...
Like the others have said, either ebay them or rebuild them and save them for other projects. The Sapphires I've been running are quite a few years old now, while there is wear and tear on the outside of the can, they still look and run great on the inside. Still on the original brushes and comm with no scoring, pitting, or burning, and I'm willing to bet that my motors have been run harder and in worse environments than yours.
