running time, 240 seconds - 4 minutes, 480 seconds - 8 minute endurance

old, old school terminology with these motors, when 1200mah packs were the only thing around

stock - sealed 27x1
Le Mans - that you got already ;)
05 - All the 540 motors we're so used to are actually "class 05" motors.

wasn't the Le Mans 05 a "simple" johnsobuchi with a black can and a hefty prices sticker on it anyway?
