I spy a split bumper Camaro in the man cave! I have to resort to small rc cars to restore as my spare funds are rather small when married with children. :D Why yes you do see my 1100 wheel horsepower split bumper good catch. Got it done before marriage and children 😉 http://i722.photobucket.com/alb...

Re: Trinity Tru-lathe 3 pro

Can't help you on your specific Earnie lathe issues, but the tricks I remember for a good cut setup are: - nice clean bearings - wrap the pulley on as circular a...

Re: What year is this Checkpoint motor ?
Not sure if such motor is all Checkpoint made. I know Le Mans endbell could fit Yokomo can. But I don´t think Jim Greenemeyer made such mixes. Also Checkpoint modified engines were known using modular endbell what means slot brushes. It would be interesting to see if there is a Checkpoint armature i...

Re: What year is this Checkpoint motor ?
Yes it seems small brushes have been used at some point. For the armature it could be a Checkpoint. It seems there have been differences between Igarashi based and Yokomo based motors or others.

Re: Motors from the crypt
Great post! Thanks for sharing the pictures, making it very clear to the uninitiated what you are doing.
Are you also zapping the can magnets and flagging to re-centre them?
I am going through the same rebuild process with a fair few of my old brushed motors.

Re: Motors from the crypt
MCI has twister decals too! i tried them ... they are 'good'. You can definitely tell they're reproduction - real twister decals are foil - so the repops look different. I bought twister, trinity, and leMans from MCI - The MCI trinity decals are a very nice match, the LeMans decals are also 'good' -...
