That Dead Pool RC10 would be a cool Jay Halsey tribute car to remake.

The motor label is either removed or just not showing, but it's some sort of Yokomo based modified in there.

This is my fourth ceramic armature motor..... the others being a 20Single, 11Single and a 13Triple.

SRM Scorcher modified, which like MG used the Race Prep ceramic armatures for a short while in around 1990. This one was a bit of a steal, albeit well used condition, so i couldn't really say no. It was sold as a suspected 15Triple but stripping it revealed it as a Double, then when cleaning the endbell with baby wipes I revealed the hand-written 19D spec. Looks to have J H 8 stamped on one of the segments.... This one will be rebuilt and run.

I've always thought you must cross your fingers and hold your breath when tightening a pinion onto a ceramic shaft

[BattleTrak]

Wow.. What is the advantage/purpose of the ceramic shaft?

I dunno, but there is an 'Ask Mike Dunn anything' RacePrep thead on this forum in which he details the theoretical advantages of the ceramic shafts.

They seem to demand high $$$ at the moment, so when they pop up for a good price i try to bag them, especially if they are a wind i don't have. I have posted others earlier on in this thread.

Revolution "Brutus" 16 x 3....it's not cosmetically perfect by any means but sounds amazing, fastest motor I have so far on my machine....36,100rpm @ 7.2v 3amp

[dinglem]

Nice. One of the Revolution range I don't yet have (although one did come in my 834B when I bought it and i haven't removed it to check the spec on it yet).

Anything etched on the can base on it?

[coxbros1]

Nothing at all etched on it....but I can tell u this, if I could get in the DeLorean and go back to the 80s, I would buy an rc10 A stamp, bearings, this motor and a Novak 1 esc and call it a day, guaranteed win

Bearings? Really?

[dinglem]

I have a few 16 Triples, and they all perform well. I think (based a little bit on nostalgia) that wind is probably my favorite overall. Back in around 1986/87 it was considered a must-have hot hot motor. I bought a Demon 16 Triple at that time and still have it.

I generally see around 35,000rpm from my 16Triples, although one stand out is a team MG motor which looks like an old bag of spanners from the outside, but performance is pretty wild!

Back on to Revolution motors though - my WetMag IV is one my motor builder took a particular shine to. 39,000rpm but at a very mild 1.8amps.

[dinglem]

Whilst we're on the Revolution subject, i don't think I have posted this up on my thread yet.....

Been after an Insane 15 Double for ages, and finally found a really tidy one. Not rebuilt/tested it yet, but it has the factory etch marks on the can base.

[coxbros1]

My Insane has that same engraving....mine did, 32500 @7.2v and 2 amps...curious what yours does
