Ultimate Vintage Brushed Motor Reference Guide

I know there are holes in the list, but we can continue to build on this as we go. It's fairly comprehensive thus far, so hopefully this can help those of you who are looking for the general information on these motors. Feel free to offer corrections or other part numbers with corresponding motor sp...

My AYK Super Trail 566B

Hi! Thought I should share this find with you guys. Bought it for about $60 just before christmas. It came 100% complete (radio box not in pics) along with unpainted original body. Quite a rare find! I´m far too unpatient to take pics during restoration so I only have pics of the finished car. Not c...

Re: 1:1 car trouble vent....

This is the old girl. Not really a solid car but one of the most fun cars I've owned.

Motor Collection - Old School Horsepower

Here are some of my old motors from bitd. These range from around '87 to '92. There is a nice timeline of MG motors evident here, as I became sponsored by them and they provided me with their 'hand selected' standard motors. You can see the MG Brown Dot (now quite rare) has a sticker marking it as a...

Re: Ayk Sidewinder and Bobcat Restoration.

Well the painting is done , I try'd the Sidewinder body with a Bobcat box art , its the most ambitious paint job I've done and it was mostly successful , i had a little paint bleed past the masking tape and one of the paints wrinkled/reacted with one of the other's , not badly but it was very annoyi...

Re: Motor Collection - Old School Horsepower

Do the label colour differences mean anything here? I know one was a Red Dot and I seem to recall having a Pink Dot too.

Both coloured dots have fallen off...

Re: Motor Collection - Old School Horsepower

This is a second TMS Tornado 13 Double, mounted up and ready to go in the back of my Meteor. This very motor (this actual one) was used by racer Jon Cooke to qualify second to Rory Cull in the Stafford Winter Nats in 1990. Having checked the motor on our motor dresser I can see why as it revs very v...

Re: AYK (Boxer - Buffalo - Bobcat) the first one of mines

Polishing your balls is a good place to start. :lol: I like the Buffalo chassis, I had fun resto-modding my buddy's car--except for those round, raspy wheel hubs that bite into the wheel plastic. Finding a way to make 12mm hex hubs, modern wheels and axles work was a major pain in the a$$. If I eve...

On the one I restored I seriously thought about moving the front suspension top links back at the inner end to be above the rear lower arm mount in order to reduce the slop in the front steering .
