Reedy Mr. Series Ultra Motors

The new motors featured a revised can design that contained higher strength "Ultra Torque" magnets, built-in brush heat sinks on the endbell and each motor included a conversion kit with new brushes and springs for on-road use. In total, 27 configurations would be released, each bearing a small decal on the can label identifying which model the motor was:

I picked this Mr. H up from Mike Ebert several years ago. Hand tuned by Mike Reedy for one of his indoor races.
