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

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.

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.

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.

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.
Cheers Rob
