This is my oldest motor I have at home. I bought this when we were on a travel through the UK and wanted attend a 1/12th race. Don´t remember exactly but must have been around 1980 I think. Maybe someone knows eaxactly when this motor was released.
It´s an old Reedy stock motor based on the Igarashi can. Comparing with any other motor the can is completely closed and you had to use 4/40 motor screws not the usual M3 screws.
What I have completely forgotten is what winding these stock motors had. Someone knows this?
I just swapped my Reedy M3 17.5 in my B6 for the Reedy S Plus 17.5. I have been delaying this because I was thinking a 17.5 is a 17.5, mine is still in great condition and I'm not going to spend a hundred bucks just to have the latest thing. Well, I...
I have a reedy tri sonic motor. Red can with a B sticker on it. I took it apart and there is a 41 written on the armature. Does anyone have any info on this? Also is it possible to short a motor? I was bashing last week and my capacitor that goes...

Installed new capacitors. Maybe I will try another set. The fizzled motor is on my b4. The reedy motor I bought years ago and was running it in a ayk radiant with truck tires. So wrong application all the way around. I remember I brought the car...
Hi, I just bought a vintage Reedy Ultra Mr K's motor, this one:
I would like to buy a stash of spare brushes for it. Could you please let me know what type I am looking for.
I have no idea whether it is laydown, stand up, etc. I searched Ebay...
I recently picked up these motors in a deal and was wondering what the history might be behind these models.
If you guys know what 'wind's and turn's' they might be I'd like to hear from you.
Many thanks- Jason

I really like the earlier models as these were what was around back in my race era. It would be good to have a timeline of some kind or even an evolution of the brand.
So a rc10 team car I picked up recently had this reedy mod motor in it. Looks like it had a balloon over the end of it that was melted on but the motor appears to be in good condition. Anyone have any ideas on cleaning this off without hurting the...

Yeah I thought about the gun bluing but wasn't sure how it would work.
I know there was a thread for the Losi Motors. Is there one started for the AE / Reedy lineup as well? I know it is a lot of motors to cover, just really interested in the traditional 1:10 offroad / onroad motors.
I am new to this forum but started my RC life with RC12E.
I am interested to know what is the welding technolgy that Reedy used in his can type Igarishi Reedy modified.
On the armature, some motors on the later days used ultrasonic welding, (maybe...

Interesting to know this kind of stuff. I always wondered about that solder because a good friend of mine when I was younger talked about it being used. Of course I can't hardly remember stuff from a few months ago these days :lol: so all of what...
