Hi guys,

I need your help dating this Lightspeed Products stock motor.
Endbell sayes Epic 5.0
Can says Roar 91 (Could be 1991) Japan.

I would start by maybe a dinner and movie, see if the relationship can move forward from there.......













sorry, I'll see myself out.

Maybe someone else will have a more accurate time period/date, but my GUESS is 1997/1998.

I was thinking the same. didn't the early ones have air supply end bells?

She would look better in high heels though.

Trinity Slot Machine 2 based motor. So 1993/1994.

Given that maybe a trip to the casino would be a good first date...

Thanks guys
Well that one is on me. I could see it coming

It has the Arlington (vs Fort Worth) sticker on it - so it has to be in their 'later' years. I just bought a NIP Lightspeed Stock motor, matching it up with a NIP Novak T-4 for a dirt-oval RC10 rebuild... still trying to source other items, would be great to find a new set of 'capped' tires.

I have an early Lightspeed stock using an AYK Race Prep teardown w/ neon orange on the endbell. Here's an example since I do not have a pic handy of the actual motor.

I have a couple of Lightspeed motors that came in a group buy. One is Fort Worth labelled, the other has no city designation. The Fort Worth has an Air Supply endbell, the other doesn't.

The motor on the left without city/state is very early as in late 80's. It looks like an early Yokomo dry mag tear down.

I just remember stockers when I was racing the T3 back in '97ish had the wavy brush hood and similar can venting.
