Letters could be companies and people ...

How much grands do you pay?

Demon power king, 16x2. Not sure what the dot sticker used to be.

Demon special wind, 13x2



old latin names

Later epic can demon




This was a 12x5, but com exploded when I tried to skim it


And a couple of spare end bells

If anyone happens to have a 12x5 armature so i can put that back to how it should be, let me know. It currently had a random 17 single in it and that situation distressed me

Yep, and I was GUTTED. I think the bakerlite core had gone brittle. The moment the cutter touched, it went bang.

An update on my collection. A few additions were made:

and some restorations were done with some much appreciated assistance:

The label "special wind" seems nice and cryptic. Any ideas? Could that have been a sponsored racer's "secret" motor?

Hi all
I have just bought a pb mini mustang including original futaba speed controller,receiver etc and wanted to fit a demon motor.
I used Demon motors in the 80’s with a mini mustang. Would anyone here be willing to sell a good suitable demon motor for my mini mustang.
It’s a 4wd version.
Thanks Jason.

Hi all
Can anyone tell me if there were Demon motors sporting a black and white chequered flag sticker with Demon power and logo in what looks like pink more than red.
Not as I remember Demon motors but from what I can tell these were later models.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Jason.

One new addition. Interesting that a red label says gold on it .
. .
I decided a Demon was the right motor for this buggy. I think it belongs in there.

This little demon is new to me and it needs a set of brushes, but they aren't laydown or stand-up brushes. They are square. I've never seen this type of brush before and don't know what to look for. Any thoughts? Just search by the width and height measurements?
. .

I think I have a square brush source. The Helwig 370 brush (stocked at $4.64 each) is the right square dimensions. It's just too long. I could probably shorten and re-profile the face. Helwig has confirmed the shunt is only in the last 0.125" of the length, so that works out even after shortening.

I used a set of Helwig 531 brushes. I shortened them approx 30% and rough profiled the faces with a brush grinder. The brushes need breaking in, but the motor now runs!
