Hmm, thats cool. Do you know if they are Re-Re's or just old stock? I saw this part "3.7 to 7.4V usage with proper gearing (Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, or Li-Po)" but nothing more to indicate a re-release?
They look a little different to me besides the label, not entirely sure though.
I'm aware the older versions had endbell melting issues, I wonder if they changed the endbell to something else?
What is wierd is it says out of stock but it lets me add to my cart? I'm confused
I hope they are re-re. The brushed motor is the sexiest thing in all of r/c IMHO. I'm quite certain it will never completely die in my lifetime as long as ebay and sites like this are around.

Looking at them again... I do see some differences. As for the endbell I'm guessing plastic though I'd like to see more photos or reviews but maybe these are too new at this point and with the brushless migration taking place there's nothing. I'd like to get my hands on a 16 or 17t and see what happens.
They're definitely plastic end bells, but that's fine with me. Metal end bells are awesome, but I never owned any when I was younger. Way outta my reach back then.

Cool - that takes me back - the Onyx was one of my first proper modified motors. IIRC they were the budget range from Trinity being machine wound rather than by hand.... but I remember the windings on my particular motor were very neat & had very minimal drill/balancing holes so I suggest that I wouldn't have got alot more performance for my money if i'd spent the extra cash on a 'full-blown' modified?
Curious as to why Trinity would see the need to offer brushed motors in their line-up given its probably only us old-skoolers that would be tempted to buy one 'for old times sake'... I do suppose if you have an old brushed ESC & just want to get a bit more 'poke' in your basher car - these might be the quick & easy option?
Edit; Seems the winds are different old Vs new e.g old Onyx was a 14double the new one is a 17double?

Here is another statement that aged well.
Looking at my recent purchase of brushed motors and trying to determine specs of the Speed Gems 2, black can.

Onyx, 14X2.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.
This Speed Gems Diamond 12x2 motor looks like it might have caught fire. I've had a couple of armatures with rough comms clean up nicely with some comm lathe resurfacing. This one will be interesting to find out how extensive the damage is.

It came with some other parts I needed. I already have a nice Diamond motor, so this one is ok to be a rebuild project.
So I have recently purchased one of these Speed Gems 2 Sapphire motors for a vintage BK1 XXX project i have and noticed that they come at a seemingly higher price than the other Speed Gems motors. Is there a reason for this? Thank you for any help...

That was my thinking as well is its likely the color
Today I decided to give my VONATS car a run before Sunday.
Brought it to work and ran it on an empty floor in our building. I have a Brushless Havoc speed controller with a Trinity C027 brushed motor(can't run my 10.5 at the VONATS) with a trinity...

I decided to pull the trigger and order a cheap LiPo setup. Should have it by next week :D
Venom 7.4 5000mAh 40C
I heard mixed reviews regarding the Venom products, but for what I do, I did not need a full blown race battery.
Instead of throwing away these wheels I took off one of my runners that was beat up pretty badly I decided to give them a second chance. I started by stripping the chrome, fixing the cracks with bond, sanded everything down smooth, then hit them...

Nice job on that looks nearly new.
I have much more enjoyment getting a terrible looking piece to look nice than opening a new in package part.
Thanks man I really appreciate that and I love bringing old forgotten cars and parts back to life!
Hi , the first (and last?) rerelease from AE is not a 6010 or a Worldcar, but a T3 RTR ... :lol:
Distribued and manufactured by Thundertiger (Europe only), it has the same specs as the T3: stealth tranny, front and rear aluminium parts...but it has...

I don't mind the metric hardware, it's just the fact that the over-all quality of AE stuff is going down the tubes that bothers me. And it is going down the tubes.
