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....

The Revo Insane is still on my hitlist too.... as you say, back then it was off the charts!!

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
