Early Mabuchi MG Modified - 1983

Quote

Post by dinglem » Mon Apr 06, 2020 3:46 pm

Well here's another unearthed gem... should go very nicely with my early Igarashi MG modified.

It is a 540-based early modified from Mick Goddard, initialed by him and also designated 'CBB' spec. Presumably he has opened it up, ballraced it and rewound it as a 27T single.

It has taken a little digging to date it and work out what that means, but I have come up with an old MG advert from April 1983 which actually advertises a 'CBB spec Modified' in 05 & 540 guise.

This motor has a really great label condition and I have never been so chuffed to get my hands on a 540 silver can before!

CAT SWB&XL, Meteor (x3), RC10 custom, RC10 Graphite, Goldpan, 870c (x2), Works 91, Samurai, Pro Radiant (x2), Mini Mustang&Maxima, Mid Turbo, TOP Hybrid , Coyote, Hot Trick Optima, Supercharge, Brimod, 'Rory Cull' Hotshot, SRB.

Here's a report from the 83 1/8th worlds in Carnoux France.

Looks like there was a fair bit of controversy in this one :shock:

Paul.

I had always heard about the controversy but never read about it... thanks for sharing.

The article's tone is shocking though... can you imagine this kind of nation-calling happening in 2011???

Anyways... all this mess wouldn't have happened if...

I picked up a hirobo rockn city and the manual says it was fitted with a mabuchi S motor. If it's the one on the chassis it has a red end cap
Anyone know how many turns they have ? Looks quite high 18+

Last post

A standard RS-540S was 27 turns of .65mm wire. Those would have typically had a black or beige endbell though. I don’t recall which my Zerda has. The only Red endbell I only remember was from Tamiya, the RS-540SD Black sprint motor. They were 23t...

I came across this in a box of old electronics stuffed in the closet, which I never payed much attention to.

I can't say that I've seen another or that I've really looked, but I find this motor interesting. Max input voltage is 8.4v and max output...

Looks the same Chris, just a different label. I'll have to search that to see if I can find a turn/wind and any other specs.

Thanks

Edit; here are some specs I found based on the motor you posted Chris.

Motor:Dynatech 01R...

Another MG rarity, and one I have been on the look-out for for a while now, having seen an early advert for them from July '83.

This one is a 25T 'Buggy Special' which somebody found in the back of an original Sand Scorcher - explaining the very...

hey guys, decided, thanks to a few members here to make all my cars runners (runners, not bashers ;))

BL are impressive all around. The main thing to be careful of is the torque, especially in the 4-pole motors. I bet this is what kills most transmissions rather than the RPM. Most controllers have some sort of start or punch control. Just set it to...

Is there a difference between the Johnson and Mabuchi silver can stock motors? I have one of each and the only difference I can tell is the Johnson is shiny(er). I know they aren't relevant motors (at least for our purpose's here), I keep these so a...

That's how Tamiya sells the Johnson as a hopup. :lol: 540 Type J
