Le Mans H240s Motor

Hi,
I recently acquired one of these motors while looking for 240ST.
I've temporarily installed it in my Optima Mid restore car until i can find the correct one.

I tried it out in the yard early today, and was very impressed with it, albeit it...

One of my favorite images for vintage Kyosho motors:

It's nice to know the rpm for the H-240S now.

More Le Mans Motor Lovin'

First post

I was finally able to get some restoration done on some incomplete Le Mans motors I had stashed in a Ziploc bag, with a big thanks and shout-out to Craig from New Zealand, cas22 on the forum. We traded some parts and what came my way--after a nearly...

For me, it's the 240SB. It's an absolute beast, I consider it the top dog, performance-wise, of the classic Le Mans motors. But I hear you, the brown anodized aluminum isn't quite as eye-catching as the red 240S. 8)

Hi all,

Great thread!

Can anyone please help me with a bit of Le Mans tech? I have recently restored my Turbo Scorpion, and have an Optima Pro project on the go now. I want to work out what ratios are suitable for the Le Mans and Spa motors that I...

Le Mans motor voltage question

by Coelacanth » Mon Oct 18, 2010 11:25 pm » in Kyosho Forum

First post

I was looking over that image of all the Le Mans motors, in particular the rated voltage for each one, and was wondering what physically enables a motor like the 360 Gold for instance to use up to 8.4V but not the 480 Gold? Construction-wise, both...

Last post

You are right. I really think that info is not right.

Really any motor should handel 8.4v more so the Alloy end bells ones.

Too me the strongest motor i think is the 240SB the spa motors were no better as i raced them all.

All of the Kyosho...

Just got this nice Kyosho Le Mans 240S motor NIB. What makes the motor different is this was sold from German brand Robbe so different packaging also the label says Robbe instead of Kyosho.

Last post

It is a clip on iron tube for more torque and a Le Mans sticker with different design.
I love old stickers. :)

Instructions for Kyosho Le Mans SPA 240WS Motor

by CNA75 » Tue Mar 30, 2010 9:51 am » in Kyosho Forum

First post

I recently bought a NIB Kyosho Le Mans SPA 240WS motor for my nib optima build (should be sweet!), however, the motor did not come with the instructions. Does anyone have a copy of the early Kyosho motor instructions that they could scan in to this...

Last post

Thanks for the helpful info. Sounds like it should be a doddle to fit! I take your point re the comparison with today's motors, however, the aim of the build is to keep everything more or less period and generally for the car to be shelf queen (but...
