The Trinity EX Tech Experimental motors usually come with grey can and endbell and golden brush setup.
I got a different version with purple can and endbell and silver brush setup.
The label is exactly the same as with the other version.

I tried to find specs or infos on this version but struggle so far.
Someone have seen such motor before or maybe have a Trinity catalog showing such?
Timeframe should be 1992 or later.

BTW I think this is not a fake motor.
I bought this motor long ago where fake labels were not around.
Also the motor is brandnew never used.

The genuine labels are still available. Just FYI

Not sure what you want to tell me ...

It could be a genuine label put on a nice motor because someone liked how it looked. The labels are still available if someone wanted to do that with a motor. Its possible this is what has happened with this motor.

I found this:
But I think that they were available in multiple winds.

I bought that motor many years ago, not now.
But beside the sticker, I also don´t know that purple can and endbell.

I own that EX0114 motor.
That´s the one with gray can and endbell and golden brush setup.

From June 94, RCCA.

It looks like a speed gems opal motor with different label.

I have no clue if that motor is a true EX Tech or not.
But I like the look anyway.

Is it something that is so desirable or rare that someone would go through the trouble of putting a label on a different motor?

I'd venture that is probably just a production change over some kind of nefarious activity.

Can you pull the armature and see if it has markings?

I have one of those labels on a different motor. However, I chose it because it matched the purple heatsinks of the GM Racing endbell.

I have a few motors with labels chosen for such a reason, but I always choose ones that are obviously of a different manufacturer. Nobody will (shouldn't be) fooled by a Trinity label on a GM motor or a Kyosho label on a TOP motor, etc..

But you could find GM labels on Trinity/Epic or HPI cans.
Or even certain Kyosho cans. But those are super rare because they were prototype or team motors and never went to the public.
