Just needs a new decal now. Picked up 3k rpm after rebuild. This one turns, 22,200rpm @ 7.2v zero degrees and pulls just .75 amp

Got a 480gold comin, just need 240SB and 240SPA....

Awesome, glad you found a 480T There's a NIB 240SB on ebay UK, that's gonna bring a hefty price tag as a 240S went for £152 last week

The 480T you have looks pretty healthy.

Winner_Evo, this is Dereks brother, David, i dont post too much. i dig that u dig this thread more than most. Whats your top 3 lemans motors in order? GO----------------->

Decals came today

Here's my modest contribution to the showcase. A 480 Gold and 360 Gold I rebuilt are in my bro's and a buddy's cars, and I ended up selling an SPA 240WS that I restored (but was already in near-mint condition). I should have another restored 480S somewhere but for some reason, it's not in my display case. Now I gotta find it...

I would have to say the first Le mans motors I remember, so in order: 240S, 480T & 480S.

I must say I like the 360PT and 600E as those were the first five and if I were to compile a collection, those would be the ones I would want. Aside from those the 240SB is very nice.

Coelacanth i will be taking that 240sb off your hands!
Winner-evo real decent list!

It took me a while to acquire that 240SB...it's also in excellent condition. I don't think I'll sell it though because it was one that a buddy raced with his Turbo Optima back in the day and I envied him. It took many years to score one! What a burner that was, 30,000+ rpm on 8.4V.

Been some descrepancies on the #'s on the web and this site as go the tutns and rpm on the 480t vs 480s...
Heres the facts:

240spa fell in my lap...480gold done except decals, just need a 240sb....please help!

Got these 3 done finally
Heres where i am out right now...480gold still needs new decal

Wow, really nice work here, some nice motors you’ve got going on. I’d love a blue one to add to my small collection, I’m lucky enough to have a new 240SB in my collection, keep hunting, you’ll find one.

Very nice. 240SB, 240E and 360E to go. You'll then have all ten, three piece Le Mans motors.

Awesome Motor Collection. I've got a soft spot for the Kyosho motors, been buying/collecting these as well when I see them for cheap. I've been meaning to do something similar with mine for a long time. Got as far as buying a tachometer with a plan to make a proper rpm test station but I just haven't done anything. Hopefully I can re visit it soon. Pic of my motors below.
