Ultimate Vintage Brushed Motor Reference Guide (Discussion Topic)

[Tommyd]

Here's a pink label Trinity Monster Horsepower 1985-87 World Champions motor I tested out today. Motor has some gahones, 38,000+ rpm at 7.2 volts.

I don't see any Trinity Monster Horsepower motors listed in the reference guide. If anyone has info/specs on these motors please share.

I think I may have the same motor that R6cowboy showed months ago.
Label shows 12t 49,500 Rpm's
Recent find, NIB but does show some corrosion/rust from poor storage.

Yours is NIB and does not have the small strip of black tape around the top of the can and endbell. Was the black tape not factory applied on NIB motors?

Ok this is a lot all at once, lets start with. Yes Trinity Monsters are listed, there listed in 1700 Series and depending on the RPM it will help you narrow down the one you have, also if tape on endbell is intact its prob a good chance its original, also to keep in mined the 1700 series came in different turns and there was a few that had same decals, and some came in both graphite as well as aluminum endbells. The more known pink decal was RC# 1700 'NUCLEAR ASSAULT' (9 TURNS)
Highest RPM motor available. For Drag Racing or Truck Pulling (with TRINITY RC# Gear Reduction Unit) Aluminium Endbell 52,000 rpms, few years later pakaging went to blister packing and pink decal was on a few others at that pont. Same decal was done on most of there turns in black and I recall RC# 1708 'MAGIC SPEED JOEL JOHNSON
SIGNATURE' (17 TURNS]
The 1990's version of 1987 I.F.M.A.R. 2WD WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP winning motor, used by Joel "Magic' Johnson. Ultimate motor for sorted 2WD cars like JRX2, Ultima, RC10 etc. Composite Endbell
41,000 rpms. was done in green. There was also a few variations of RC 4449 *4.9 Chris Doseck™ Purple Motor Setup"
This is the latest 4.9 wet magnet motor setup that we use on our
"Chris Doseck™ World Championship Edition" modified. Everything is iricluded to build up a motor except the armature. Aluminum endbeil. Came in graphite and purple endbell as well as purple can and two types of decal one being the pink on a purple can also a signature on a purple can. So for the monster horspower motors most looked the same so best to narrow it down rpm check

Added LRP Grand Prix II and X-Generation motors to the list. Also made a bunch of smaller additions and amendments.

I knew about Trinity motors and Kyosho cans, but I'd never seen a Checkpoint with a Kyosho can before.

Sorry for late comment.
Correct for Trinity, they used many Kyosho cans and there is a story how it started.

For Checkpoint.
Big Jim tried a lot of things and went to the extremes like maybe no other motor builder. And yes he had motors based on Kyosho and even AYK teardowns.
But these were prototype motors and not sold to the public.

From what I have seen so far Big Jim sold motors in this order
Igarashi
Yokomo (early version)
Platinum (his design)
Air Supply

No, not all had tape. I have had several new ones that lacked tape. I have also had some taped one where the label is applied over a portion of the tape.

Good to know. Thanks

Added a bunch of Redline motor specs.

Did the AYK Magnum 360L come with a Kyosho aluminum endbell? I feel like it's a NO and this endbell maybe was borrowed from a Kyosho SPA motor. Thoughts?

AYK motors always had their own parts. They never used parts from other manufacturers.
Same goes for Kyosho, because both of them were real manufacturers. No rewinders or motor builders.

So it was from a short lived unholy business merger between AYK and Kyosho!!!

You seem to excel in obtaining frankenmotors.

Added additional specs to a bunch of Parma motors.

[Lowgear]

Added Schumacher Ultra Modified motor specs.

[jcwrks]

1022 27x1 Bullet Stock (Silver Can With Pink, Purple, Blue Bullet Label)
1022-P 27x1 Bullet Pro Stock (Silver Can With Pink, Purple, Blue Bullet Pro Label)

@Lowgear one additional descriptor is that the regular 1022 Bullet has a gold label and the Pro is a silver label.

Does anyone happen to know if any of the Revtech 27T motors had a silver can with the "REVTECH" label clear and hunter green? Not a green can. I swear my REVTECH stock motor was silver and hunter green, but I can't find any info on label colors for REVTECH. I assume each color was unique to a certain spec motor but I don't know for sure. I would find it unusual if they aren't.
