Anyone run a Kyosho K Speed Heli Special Mod motor in a buggy? I have one and it apparently a 14 turn double wind. Any info would be awesome, I got a great deal on it at a LHS and Kyosho discontinued it. Amazon has someone trying to get 217 euro out of one. But they seem to be pretty scarce and not much technical info on them.

motor doesn't really care what it's pushing......winds and construction look to be equivalent to a buggy motor. I'd assume the only thing that might be different would be maybe default timing.

i suppose the other item could be the winding direction, ie if it's like a reverse wound motor. if the timing is adjustable, it probably doesn't make much difference.

I guess I would now ask, it this more suited for my Ultima or my Turbo Optima?

what about the brushes? this one has the lay down style brush hoods I have only rear the vertical ones is there any performance advantage or maintenance considerations vs the old style?
