Hey guys, got some questions about a few Kyosho motors I have laying about the place, gathering dust.....

Question 1: Kyosho Mega 360 Monster Truck Motors I have a pair of these motors NIP, and they seem to be a matched pair, in that one is normal, and the other is 'Reverse Rotation'. I had planned on a twin motor Tamiya m-chassis vehicle with these (M01 plus M02, M02 needed reverse), but no longer have the interest.... that, and I imagine it would have been quite a bit of motor for the chassis!

Now, the question... what trucks/vehicles required this sort of motor? Are they comparable with todays motors???


Question 2: Kyosho Le Mans AP36 To quote the box, "Extremely torqued up motor than ever before. Realizing easy start from the ground and powerful flying maneuver in the sky. Best choice for R/C airplane." . Yes, Kyosho says it's a plane motor.... but it is a Le Mans, and it is a 540.

The question... has anyone used one of these in a car or buggy??? How do they compare? Are they similar to a silver can? Better / worse???


Any info appreciated....

Question 2: Kyosho Le Mans AP36

Winding, what ever it is, might be something so different that it is not recommended to cars by Kyosho. Even 600E (30x1 wind) is suitable to some buggies but this AP360 seems to be not.

Thanks for sharing that image, Jirka. Added it to my e-document collection.

Question #1: They're for twin gearbox monster trucks such as the Kyosho Double Dare, USA-1 or the Tamiya Clodbuster. The front and rear on these trucks are identical, hence the need for one motor to be reverse rotation.
