Or if you have access to the 10Talk B/S/T ?
All of my Revolutions were lucky scores from eBay.
Yeah, Iv looked and looked.. for quite a while. Every once in a while I will find a used one all marked up... but NIP or 100% unused are pretty hard to find.

I know,they're few and far between.
It took me a long time to collect the ones I have.Years.
Just be persistent,man.
Try different search words,like 'Vintage Losi', Losi Revolution','Vintage RC Motor' etc.
You'll get lucky,eventually. :wink:

You don´t have to look out very long http://www.ebay.com/itm/Losi-Revolution-16T-Quad-Motor-Wet-Mag-IV-yokomo-reedy-rc10-associated-vintage-/280800544872?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4161044868
It is not an early Revolution motor but at least one with the same yellow label. Also not new but I haven´t seen a new one in years.

I´m looking for Checkpoint motors and Delta or Tekin motors and it´s the same problem as with the Revolution motors. The difference just is I have Revolutions from back in the days but none of the other ones.

Yeah I found that one the day it was posted... there is another one out there in better shape from the UK... but for a shelf queen that is 100% unused/mint, it doesn't qualify ;) Thanks though, let me know if you stumble upon a new one.

This is a stock motor with different colour scheme not a Revolution modified. But seems looking quite good.
But I have to say I never saw any new Revolution modified motors and just a very small number of used ones.

The ones I have all were used ... by myself.

Uhhh...Yeah?
A Revolution's a Revolution,man,stock or modified.
I dig them all.
Stock Revolutions look great in cars like the Junior 2 and Junior T,too.
Fits in well with the target market of those cars,people just getting into RC and not wanting a freakin' 8x2 modified motor.

This is super sweet-A Daytona Oval.
The one I have is Trinity based,with a silver label,they can't have made many of those suckers.
So sweet! :D

Just got one of these that came with a jrx t that I just got. I'm thinking about selling the whole thing off though. My motor looks a little beat but in good shape. I am going to test the motor and the novak t-4 that came with it out in my Rus'buggy this weekend. I like the old novak motor connector though it looks like it can handle a pretty good load. But there maybe a reason you don't really see them around.

Wow, been a long time since I've seen a Novak connector like that one, man!
I have a good amount of vintage ESCs and they sure built 'em right, back then.
Still go like troopers.

I FINALLY got an MTM Revolution motor! :D
The label isn't perfect, but I'm going to work on it, and I'm just happy to have one.
It looks like the can may have been black, anyone know for sure?

Saw a Jr's Choice motor sell for US$90 on eBay a while back... Silly stuff. :roll:

I have a JR's Choice plus an earlier mod motor too. Both are bolted into my JRX2 and JRX PRO runners.

Can't beat these for Koolness factor IMO.

Great thread BTW.

Cheers, Jason :wink:

I got my MTM motor restored to pretty acceptable condition and slotted it into my new built LXT... Must give it a dust, sometime. :roll:
I have a few spare yellow Revolutions now! :shock:

I have a like new 6046 revolution mod motor "IV", with the backing card but no plastic can anyone tell me anything about this motor? There is a 4 etched on the can, and it looks like it has bearings instead of the bushings. It is a black can with yellow label and redish brown lettering.
