Next up- The Halsey edition RC10

It's hard to say on what magnet strength is now for the motor vs 40 years ago. The silver dot motor should be a 21 turn double, per the compiled vintage motor listing. Not the wildest modified motor but probably good for a lower speed track with a lot of turns.

Gotcha. I knew it was near the 20 turn range, I forgot to even look at the motor list. Back when these things were new, I was still largely running silver can motors in on road classes, so my stock/mod motor experience at that time was non existent lol

Dots on Edinger motors don't necessarily mean the same thing as the dots on the later Ultra Series motors (which is what's listed on the Ultimate Brushed Motor Reference Guide). The part numbers are also different...yours is 6510 but the silver dot Ultra is 6521. The 6510 motor is listed as "standard" in the Edinger catalog, and "road" in the early Caddy catalog.

I have a silver dot Edinger Reedy motor that has a 16x1 arm in it but I got it used so the arm may have been swapped.

Interesting! I’ll have a peak tomorrow and see what she’s about!

Just made a post in the vintage electronics thread with some pictures. No writing on the arm, but my eyes don’t work like they used to so it could be very faded. It is a single with the kevlar? winding wrap and similarly soldered winding straps.

Sorry you didn’t get a response already! If you haven’t painted already, I used Tamiya ps-30, but it purposely went lighter and brighter than Its supposed to be.
