Okay so with all the vintage motor threads (which have me drooling) I figured I'd throw up one of my own. Now this isn't everything but it's the best of them (minus the new ones sitting in my shelfers).
First up are all the nip
Next are a pair of new Kyoshos
Followed by a pair of Reedys (one of which ran away and joined the circus ).

Thanks, it's hard to narrow it down to just one favorite though. I'm really fond of the Reedy motors (in particular a new Mr. K's in my Team Car) but I'd probably have to go with one of the Kyosho based Trinity motors in the top row. One of them especially because it has the older Checkpoint style slot car brushes and hoods

, Oh it's hanging around. I did get around to slapping the other Ultra Sonic motor in it.
That is one fine collection you have there. Were you thinking of posting the winds of the motors (of those one where it is not obvious on the packaging that is)? Would be great to know...
I finally motivated myself to polish some alloy wheels. I used an axle that I'd cut the dogbone section off, stuck that in the chuck of a drill, stuck the drill in a vise, mounted a wheel and went to town with sandpaper. I wet-sanded starting from...

The leftmost pair are free-rolling & meant to fit onto 4mm axles (I think, I would have to confirm) with 2 bearings inserted on either side of the wheels. The rightmost pair are meant to fit Losi, which use cross-pins and a plastic or alloy adapter...
Is anyone familiar with SMT motors? The label says it's from France. They are Yokomo based motors.

How about Elite Power motors? These labels seem like they might be replacing original...
The RCH company is not really known to me, other than they have been based in California and made option parts for 1/10 scale offroad cars.
Now I saw a motor somewhere which was named as RCH as well.
This motor was based on the old Igarashi can, so...

Well, the fact that the labels were still the black and white label makes me think this was something else my dad did, but I never ran one of those. Those were early offerings but didn't last long. Now that I look at the back of the labels, it...
I got these old motors with some stuff I bought. The Speed Gem 2 is obvious but why is it missing a side of the top with a brush? Any ideas? Then the other one I have no idea about. Has pinion, spur, and turn markings and it has ROAR 91 on the end...
