CANS WITH ATTITUDE - AND STING, HOT OLD 16D, 26D and 36D MOTORS Options

[CJA]

Hi Don,

Thanks, it does same to me, as well.

Pieced together from bay of E over a few years,

The chassis was brand new, and the motor I had previously bought, seemed to be appropriate !!.

Wheels from Andy BS.

Ok , some hot and some unusual motors !

Left to right - Thorp 26D , Lenz 36D , Johnson 36D and Russkit 34

The Thorp 26D , is a very strong performer , and great braking as well .
Any chassis it is placed in , always runs extremely well - a great motor !

The Lenz 36D - well it speaks for itself , high revs and great braking , just
a superior re-wind .

Now a bit of unusual - the Johnson - yet to place it in a chassis , but have
tested it on power , basically same revs as a normal 36D . But have a look
at the unusual solder points - weird !

The Russkit 34 --- well not a 26D , or a 36D - don't know what to make of it.
Never ran it in a chassis , as it has unusual proportions , huge armature - more
like a power transmitter than a slot car motor !

Here are a few fast FT36s

First is by Howkill


Next is a Green Hornet done by Dynamic.


Third is unknown, but it does look like the first one (Russkit can painted metalic blue)


Now a couple of 26Ds

First a metalic red one (same colour as the 16D shown further up the thread).


As it says on the tin.

Another unusual motor , is the one installed in the MPC Manta Ray .
Great speed , but just terrible braking !!!! Very unusual carbon set-up
as well !

Ok , a joke about brakes ! This guy caught his friend drinking brake fluid !
He says to his friend - " You shouldn't be drinking that stuff , it will kill you !!!"
His friend answers back "It's ok , I have it under control , I can stop anytime ????

Does anybody have some pics of some Cukras motors , so we can differentiate them from the pink Mura motors ! Zig

[dgersh]

I have a Flower Power motor Zig, but seem to have misplaced it for now...

But the Cukras motors were by Mura, it was just his "signature". And I also have a Cukras signed armature in one motor, not sure if that was Mura...

Ey Up Guys,

just look at that "Manta Ray" motor.

The arm must have peculiar comm timing judging by the brush position !!.

Or, is that why it had prodigous speed but no brakes ??.

Very interesting non-theless.

Brilliant thread.

A couple more hot 36Ds:

The Green Hornet before (or after) it was Dynamic



The Dynamic version



Another French, and a Champion 707, still a beast, plus the earlier and rarer 705!







Another Lenz, or at least an ad for one...



And a Strombecker Hemi 400 AT (adjustable timing), stock, but theoretically higher performance...

[gasowder]

Possible asymmetric comm timing on that Hemi?
Eddie

[dgersh]

Yep, possible* - if you want to try, I'll give you one!

Cheers,
Don

* I think, actually haven't tried, but they seem to be adjustable separately if I remember right.

[gasowder]

Thanks for the kind offer Don but I'm a Pittcan man, remember
Enjoying the thread though!

A few 36 size motors to start with.

Probably the only way to stop your endbell melting


A Cox Nascar with Ramboochi modification (new armature and new endbell) The performance is actually quite disappointing, the arm shaft is soft and wears out very fast. Mine had to be fitted with ball bearings to stop it self distructing.


A 36D with unusual vertical cut balancing.


There are 2 types of Johnson 333, one is a copy of the 36D, this is the other one.


A pair of Rikostreak, Mk1 and Mk2. To me it looks as if the Mk2 version is a copy of the Mk1 but made by somone else (which seemed to be the norm with Riko)


Finally, a Cobra 26D.

Wow Joel - what can I say - I thought I had a good collection of re-winds and unusual - but yours is amazing ! Great to see your posts each time , and thanks so much - you have moved this thread along brilliantly ! Naturally , the hoarder (Don) , is fantastic as well , with his endless contributions - well I better go easy on him I guess , he did send me a Hitachi motor ages ago - thanks Don ! Zig

[merkit the grof]

Zig, glad to be of service; and it's always nice to show off the old collection.

Now, if I am allowed to show unusual motor (as opposed to just "hot" ones), then I have a few more I can post.

[dgersh]

Joel,

I think you could start a whole new thread on unusual motors, and I hope you do!

A few more hotties coming up as soon as I resize them and upload...
