Thanks Lowgear and Tagger. As far as I know Tagger, the 240ST is a 22 turn single wind motor. I've owned two of them. Ones in my collection and the other used to power my Tamiya M01 Mini back in '95. Updated photo time.

I like the twin rear shock setup on that. Any ideas for a bodyshell yet?

That's a nice bit of work on that chassis.

Yep, the ball ends are 5.8mm on the Turbo and 4.8mm on the Scorpion. The Turbo's rear suspension plate is one piece and the Scorpion's is two pieces. Chris.

That's a good idea MelvinsArmy. I'll post a running report soon. Post some photos when yours is finished Rich. RC104ever it has a Tamiya Buggy Champ ball diff. That's a great looking SRB Tiger1. You've got a lot of great parts on it. I thought I would try the castor blocks to see what effect it has ...

Thanks for the offer Coelacanth, but I snagged a 240WS just before you posted.

Thanks for the kind words you blokes. Unfortunately Fakiee, I don't have any of my old cars. No photos either. I own four buggies now, all bought in the last three years. I've attached another photo of my only other Le Mans motor. It's a 480T can, 480 Gold endbell (painted green) and a Parma 19x2 ar...

Thanks. I'm glad you like it Finman. Here's some more photos for you. RC104ever, the front and rear shocks are Kyosho gold shocks. Long rears and short fronts. The rear shocks are attached to a carbon fibre plate which in turn is bolted to the roll bar. The last photo shows this really well. Ignore ...

Here's my SRB racer. I always wanted a hot SRB racer back in the 80's. So I decided to create one. I put this one together using Buggy Champ parts. The chassis is 2.75mm thick carbon fibre cut with a Dremel then filed and sanded by me. I made chassis lowering blocks for the rear and front castor blo...

Here's a couple of pictures of my Le Mans collection to date. I thought they should have a good home. Enjoy, Chris.

Morning to all. First post here so I'll make it a useful one. I was lucky enough to obtain one of these motors recently too. The seller listed it as an 18 turn motor. I know for sure that it is a single wind of .90mm wire. I compared the armature to a 240s armature and they look about the same. At a...
