Man Chuck that is amazing! I know your opinion of Kyoshos back at "Right Stuff Hobbies" in the late 80's weren't that great.....but your about to find out 80s Kyosho's are as good as anything....if not better! Wait till you get the Le Mans bug in you

Chuck, Kyosho Le Mans never made a 27t stock motor. They did have 2 Super stock motors with 20 and 34 degree fixed timing , closed endbell, bushings....but that wasnt stock.

CAT XLS are great....so easy to bleed

The Diamond One look'n good!

The Diamond One look'n good! That's the REAL DEAL folks :P If the voters knew where the mechanical speed control was located and what it looked like and how secretive it is, it would have gotten more votes...and its not cause its a plastic babys toy like Brian thinks :lol: ....the proof is he didn'...

The Diamond One comin on strong!....Dinglem u better watch out

Scored this Revolution "Insane" yesterday by a freak chance. This is it after a restoration. Its a 15 double going in my brothers Avante. It turns 32,200 rpm @ 7.2v and pulls 2 amps. The was the motor we wanted most as kid back in the 80s but never had. 20210315_112217.jpg 20210315_112139....

I hear you. I use the term "holy grail" alot but this motor truly is ...i think i like it better than my Le mans motors!

those #'s sound right. I had 15x2 turn 32,2xx recently on 7.2.v. watch out turning those 12 turns too fast on free rev....i have had the winds snap

Problem is he can't enter it till 22' if he dominates this month....looks like his Supercharge Hotshot gonna take it (got my vote).....unless politics interfere
